Tom with Satori Graphics back with another graphic design Illustrator tutorial; today I will show you how to make a custom avatar in Illustrator, perfect for social media profile pictures. This is not a step by step style tutorial, it is more a tutorial that you can take specific techniques from it and then create your own designs on your own accord.

I was going to make a custom flat avatar design as a subscriber suggested it, but I started to add in some blur effects and realised it was no longer a flat custom avatar. Still, you can use these techniques within Adobe Illustrator to make a custom flat avatar all the same :)

For your custom avatar design in Illustrator, you will want to choose an image of yourself that can fit into a perfect square nicely, with your entire face and maybe shoulders. The image I have used is not exactly a good example of that, but I simply love this image and wanted to make a custom avatar out of it!

For this Illustrator tutorial on making a custom avatar, we will be using a wide range of tools and techniques. These will include:
- pen tool
- selection tools
- blur effects
- stroke styles
- layering techniques
- eye dropper tool
- width tool
- and the path finder tool

So follow along and use the same techniques and method for making your very own custom avatar, perfect for social media profile pictures. At the very end I show you how to add your design from Illustrator to Photoshop ideally for a profile pic.

So did you enjoy this Illustrator tutorial on how to make a custom avatar? Let me know in the comments section below and drop a like on your way out.
