Hat Start your hat by drawing 2 basic paths and filling them with Linear gradient (red to darker-red). <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/xmas_hat/1.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 2.  Shadow Make a path (shadow path) like the image on the left.        Select the top part of the hat, Copy & Paste in Front (Ctrl+F). Now, select the copied path and the shadow path,  hold down Alt key and select Intersect shape areas in Pathfinder pallate. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/xmas_hat/2.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Your path should looks like the image on the left. Repeat this step to make another shadow path for the bottom part of the hat. Then fill these 2 shadow paths with Linear gradient (red to darker-red), in your Transparency pallate, select Multiply. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/xmas_hat/3.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 3. Fur With your Pen Tool, roughly draw a path like the image on the left and fill it with grey color. Go to Effect > Distort & Transform > Roughen <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/xmas_hat/4.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Roughen  Options In your Roughen window, enter the following setting: Size=8%, Detail=95/in, select Corner points. You may click on the Preview check box to preview your result. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/xmas_hat/5.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Make a copy of the grey path by holding down Alt + drag (you may use Copy & Paste if you like) and fill it with white. Scale it down a bit and bring it up slightly above the grey path. Select the top part of the hat and its shadow, bring them to front by Object > Arrange > Bring to Front (Ctrl+Shift+]). <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/xmas_hat/6.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Use the Ellipse Tool to make the circle and repeat the previous step to make the furry ball. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/xmas_hat/7.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Final Your final illustration should looks like the image shown below. <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/xmas_hat/final.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Have Fun Now, have fun with your Christmas hat! <img src="http://www.ndesign-studio.com/images/resources/tutorials/xmas_hat/christmas-hat-fun.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
