Create a Milk Bottle with a Funny Cow Label
Mar 16th in Illustration by Simona Pfreundner
In this tutorial, we'll explain how to create a 3D milk bottle. We'll also cover how to create and apply a cute cow label to it. Let's have some fun with this one!

Final Image Preview
Below is the final image we will be working towards. Want access to the full Vector Source files and downloadable copies of every tutorial, including this one? Join Vector Plus for just 9$ a month.

Step 1
Open up a new document and draw a rectangle with the Rectangle tool (M). Fill it with a gray to white to black linear gradient and set the gradient highlight towards the bottom.

Step 2
Select the Pen tool (P) and start drawing half of a bottle. We need only the outline. Make sure the fill is set to none and the stroke to white with 1pt. You can use a reference image if you have trouble with drawing a bottle.

Step 3
Draw another small shape that is half of an outline of a bottle cap. Make sure that both paths are separate.

Step 4
Select the bottle path with the Selection tool (V) and go to Effect > 3D > Revolve. Apply the following options: -5, -26, and 3. Also, set 45 degrees for the Perspective. Click OK and voila, the milk bottle.

Step 5
Repeat Step 4 with the cap path. Change the stroke color to a light grey and apply the settings shown below.

Step 6
This is what the bottle should look like at the moment. Not bad for a small few steps.

Step 7
On to the label. We want to create a funky looking cow. So let's start with the outline. Start drawing an outline of a cow from the back. We need two legs and some hips on a big back.

Step 8
Create a polygon shape and fill it with black. This will be the black color spots for the cow.

Step 9
Select the shape,then go to Effect > Distort & Transform > Roughen and apply the settings shown below.

Step 10
Repeat Step 9 and add many more black spots. Make sure that some overlap the cow outline. Select all the black spots and expand their appearance (Object > Expand).

Step 11
Select all black shapes and the cow outline, then select the Divide option in the Pathfinder Palette. Next, choose the Direct Selection tool (A) and start deleting all the overlapping black shapes.

Step 12
This is the main cow shape that we have so far. Let's move on to the other elements.

Step 13
Select the Pen tool (P) and start drawing an udder like shape. Fill it with a nice pink and set the stroke to black.

Step 14
Draw a tail like shape and add it to the cow. I kept it as simple as possible since I want to achieve a cartoon look.

Step 15
Go on and draw the face. It is a front on face so no need for difficult shapes. Fill the face with the same black spots as the body, just like we did in Step 9-11.

Step 16
Draw some funky looking hair on top and place it above the face shape. Then add some overly big eyes. I used circles here.

Step 17
Start adding the details to the eyes. We need an eye color (one circle) and a pupil (another smaller circle with black fill). Then add on top another white circle acting as a reflection. Repeat this with the second eye.

Step 18
Add some sickle shapes to the eyes.

Step 19
A cow needs some horns and some lips. Draw those shapes with the Pen tool (P). I filled them with a light pink.

Step 20
Add some nostrils and other details. After all the shapes have been added, the cow head should look similar to the image below.

Step 21
Group all the head shapes together (Command + G) and place them behind the body.

Step 22
I added some grass, some blue sky and some simple clouds to complete the label. You can let your creativity flow and use totally different shapes here.

Step 23
A label needs some information. I chose Helvetica Neue LT as my favored font.

Step 24
Outline the text by selecting it and pressing Command + Shift + O. Then select both the label and the outline text and drag them into the Symbol Palette.

Step 25
Go back and select the milk bottle shape. Since we didn't expand the appearance, we can easily modify it. Open the Appearance Palette and doubleclick the 3D Revolve line. This will open the 3D Revolve Palette. Click on Map Art on the right and go to Surface Nr 6. Choose the "labelwithtext"

symbol from the Symbol drop down and place it towards the bottom. Check the box Shade Artwork. This will render it with a slight shadow on the label. Check Preview to see if the label is placed in the correct position.

Conclusion

This is the end result. No bad for a vector bases program. You can easily change the label or give the bottle another color. It doesn't have to be a milk bottle. I hope you had fun with this tutorial!

...Learn the Basics of Adobe Photoshop Adobe Photoshop is a graphics editing program developed and published by Adobe Systems to bring one's creative vision to life in everything from layered designed to expensive paintings, 3D artwork to entire movies. It is the current market leader for commercial bitmap and image manipulation software, and is the flagship product of Adobe Systems. It has been described as "an industry standard for graphics professionals" and was one of the early "killer applications" on the Macintosh, later also for the PC. 2005, Adobe's "Creative Suite" rebranding led to Adobe Photoshop 8's renaming to Adobe Photoshop CS. Thus Adobe Photoshop CS4 is the 11th major release but the latest released, "Adobe Creative Cloud" has become popular very fast. The Photoshop CC rebranding also resulted in Adobe offering numerous software packages containing multiple Adobe programs for a reduced price.

...The download of Adobe Photoshop CS5 is equivalent to installing a fast and worry-free software on your Windows system that will understand your imaging needs and help in your designing goals. There is no counting the prowess of the Adobe line of products which can be used in free trials. Adobe Photoshop CS5 is truly magical in its editing and design powers for most Windows users. In this version, the speed and power that users will have access to are mingled with some of the most basic and recognizable Photoshop features. According to Adobe, the download should not take very long. But a fast download is always dependent on how free the Windows system at hand is. One new feature that is worth mentioning is the improved crop tool that is fast in understanding the content you are working on. In fact, the design tools of Adobe Photoshop CS5 all include the new Content-Aware Patch technology which ultimately results in error-free designs. The interface of Adobe Photoshop CS5 can sometimes be too advanced and too cluttered for its own good which is a disadvantage especially for novice users. The manner in which your Windows system can be transformed into a tool for creativity is unparallelled and it is all thanks to the fast download of Photoshop. Free and fast is what most Mac and Windows users love the most and the download of Garena Plus offers just that. The application follows the concept that playing games with others is always better. This is why the integration of a social...

...………Tools Used in Photoshop Photoshop has many tool by which we can make our images look beautiful and interesting.Let us learn about some more tools in this chapter. 1.Retouching Tools 2.Type Tool 3.Viewing Tools 4.Working with Layers 5.Using Filters Color Correction Color correction is a lot easier than you think. You just need to know which colors are complimentary and you can use those to cancel out too much of another color.You also need to be able to spot where .colors are the most prominent. This means being able to tell, for example, when red is dominating the light areas of the photo and blue is dominating the dark areas. If you simple applied a blue filter to the entire photo, you'd end up with more neutral highlights—which you want—but a photo that looks too cool because the shadows are overly saturated with blue color. To recap, you need to pay attention to two major things when color correcting: which colors are dominating the photograph and which colors aren't, and also where, tonally, those dominating colors exist. Adobe photoshop is basically used for retouching and editing ,to make changes in photographs to make them look more beautiful and appealing.Retouching tools repair damaged images,apply repeated patterns or replace colors in an image.These tools can be used over a selected portion of a image or o an entire image.
