Practice makes perfect as they say. With this tutorial you'll get some practice using the Revolve effect and learn how to make a soccer practice cone!

Step 1:  Using the Pen Tool, draw out the following shape and fill it with an orange colour.  Don't forget to close the path by clicking on the start point when you are finished.

Step 2:  With the Selection Tool active (the black arrow), click on your shape to select it. Now go to Effect > 3D > Revolve and set the options as on the left. Ensure that you have Preview checked so you can play around with the settings.  It is entirely up to you to decide what type of highlighting you'd like to see.

Finished:  Now just click the OK button and you're done!  For my final result, just look below.  For some soccer icons made using this technique, check out Soccer Icons - Soccer balls, soccer fields, practice cones on my website. Have fun!
