Quick Tip: How to Make Longcat Truly Infinitely Long in Adobe Illustrator
Apr 1st
The Internet has been taken over by cats and one of the Internet’s famous characters and memes is Longcat . He’s known for his incredibly long length and is subject to many Photoshop graphics. However don’t you think, out of all the cat memes, this one should be in vector? In today’s tutorial, I’m going to show you how to create a Longcat Pattern Brush in Adobe Illustrator. 1.

For Longcat, I’m going to be breaking him down into two ends (head and feet/tail) and his abdomen center. Use the Line Segment Tool () to create clear boundaries which break up you subject and then Select All (Ctrl + A) and create a Compound Path (Ctrl + 
. Step 2 Draw a Rectangle (M) around the overall subject and then use your lines with the Pathfinder panel to Divide the rectangle. As all the elements which make the brush won’t be central (for instance the tummy isn’t central), then you’ll need these three rectangles set to Opacity 0% to create invisible boundaries for your brush later on in the process. For now, they’ll be acting as a guide. Take this opportunity to enable Smart Guides (Ctrl + U) to help snap your objects and lines to your brush boundaries. Step 3 So let’s…
