INFOGRAPHIC SERIES - COFFEE CUP WITH FOAM

3/28/2016

3 Comments

 
Start any day off with a cup of coffee, or any day with a cup of coffee with some nice foam and a bit if shading. 
Picture

Picture
Start off with an oval, fill with a color, no stroke on the shape.
Picture
Create a rectangle over the top of the oval, using the Pathfinder Panel, use the Minus Front action to remove the top of the oval.
Picture
This forms the base of the cup but needs a flat bottom.
Picture
Repeat the process of drawing a rectangle at the bottom of the half-oval and use the Minus Front action in the Pathfinder Panel.

Picture
Here is the cup, now we need to add a handle.
Picture
Draw an oval, add a stroke to it, same color as the cup and no fill. 
Picture
To create the foam, start with a circle and fill with a light color.
Picture
Duplicate the circle so the center overlaps to the edge of the second circle.

Picture
Duplicate the circle several times in a row.
Picture
Duplicate the row and move it up so the centers of the first row are at the edge of the second row, now move it half way over to the left or right and remove the overhanging end circle.
Picture
Repeat the process with the second row to create the third row. These stack to form a smaller pyramid of circles.
Picture
With the top center most circle, use the Direct Selection Tool to select the top most point. Use the UP arrow to move the point up. 

Picture
Click the Convert Anchor Point in the Control Bar to create a corner point.
Picture
Select all the circles and foam tip, use the Unite Action in the Pathfinder Panel to create one single shape.
Picture
Take the foam and place it behind the coffee cup.
Picture
You can adjust the height of the foam to make it fit correctly.

Picture
To create a slip shadow on the cup, duplicate the bottom of the cup off to the left.
Picture
Select the cup base and the new shape you just duplicated, then apply the Divide Action in the Pathfinder Panel. Ungroup the resulting shapes and delete the left extra shape.
Fill the left shape with a darker color.
Picture
Duplicate the new, darker shape on the left side of the cup. Copy the shape and rotate the shape 180° and place it directly on top of the cup. 
Picture


Select the flipped shape and the foam, then apply the Divide Action in the Pathfinder Panel. Ungroup the resulting shapes and delete the left extra shape.

Color the new edge of the foam slightly darker.

​Enjoy!

Hi Jason, just discovered you on CreativeLive and loving your teaching style.
I've had a couple of goes at this coffee cup, without much success, and then I realised that I need to cut the base of the foam in line with the top of the cup.
I actually duplicated the cup and then used Minus Front.
Works great now. Thank you
