Christmas Tree
New Art Brush
Select these 3 paths and drag it to the Brushes Library to make a New Art Brush.
Art Brush Options
Leave everything as default, but select Tints and Shades from the Colorization Method drop down menu.
3. Tree branches
With the Pen Tool, create some wavily stroke paths and fill stroke color with green. Then apply these paths with the Art Brush you’ve created in the previous step. Adjust the Opacity between 40-50% so it blends with the tree. If you want bigger tree branches, apply thicker stroke weight, thinner stroke = smaller branches. Play around with the Opacity and Stroke Weight and try to make the tree looks as natural as possible.
4. Christmas balls
Create various size and gradient Christmas balls with the Ellipse Tool. Place some on top of the tree, send some to the back, and put some behind the branches.
