I'm trying to learn how to create a stroke effect where the stroke around the edge goes from thick to thin, such as in this example:

around the hearts.

I've had a little bit of a play with the pen tool, but I havent come up with anything yet :/

If anyone knows of a way to create this effect easily, I'd deeply appreciate it

I think that the hearts are 3 shapes on top of each other each with a fill color. The bottom shape is filled with black and then copied on top. It's then made smaller and filled with white. That is then copied on top, made smaller, and filled with red. It gives the appearance of a stroke but it's actually three shapes on top of each other.

All that looks to me like the pen tool , but if you do want a siple way of doing this
Heres what i came up with



I made you a little Flash video 1.79 mb

Download it here
just unrar the file, once downloaded, go into the folder and dubble click the HeartStroke1.html , this will play the flash video


Edit: You beat me to it Jacorre lol , i used 3 layers in my video, then sized it up a bit , then did the free trancform - prospective, then did it one more time for the 3rd layer

I think what he means is that same question that has been here a few times allready:
the brush stroke thing that is going from thinck to thin at the end.

with r without pressure sensitive palette?

do a search in the tutrial request section, but i dont think theres been a really sound answer to that one, sry.

well thanks for the help guys I thought it could be layered shapes, however I thought there may be a quicker/easier way to do it with stroking.
