That’s Scrapper from Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword! He’s my favourite character from that game and I love the design of the Lanayru robots so I had to make a pin of him :)

how do you use adobe illustrator to draw your pin designs?

There’s nothing specific for pin designs versus designing anything else in Illustrator so I would recommend looking up tutorials on youtube or on other websites. There’s a lot to go through and it’s basically just learning the program. Just tracing your designs with the pen tool mainly but there are so many techniques and ways to do things that I can’t really answer that well.
How do you make pins? I been wanting to make pins for so long but idk how to even start its so confusing please help me ;_; no one wants to tell me how to make my own pins. I have my own designs and everything

Okay! This is a very long post and I’ll try to get you as much info as I can. I’ve found that the pin making community is very closed off with providing help to new creators since there’s been such an increase in people making pins. So I completely get that you’ve been having issues finding out how to start.
If you already have designs in mind the best thing to do is have them digitized if you haven’t already. The best option is to have a vector file where each of the enamel colours is on a separate layer with no overlapping of the colours or metal areas. This isn’t necessary since a lot of pin manufacturers can digitize your design from a drawing but having them do it can lead to issues and a lot of back and forth changes because they have to trace the image you give them. It’s a lot easier if you can give them a file that they don’t have to do anything with a can use right off the bat to make a mold.
Here’s a pin that I just got made recently that I’ll use as an example through this. The full design in the top left but you can see that each enamel colour can be pulled off separately and leave a solid background that shows the metal of the pin with no overlapping parts.
Also fyi I use Adobe Illustrator to do my designs.
Long post is long. So you’ll have to keep reading :)
Superstores and other President's Choice branded grocery stores always have burger cakes in the summer, at least the Atlantic Superstore near my house does. They probably just tossed a flag on it to be fancy lmao
