: How do I make spikes jut off an image? How would I create the circled spikes in the picture below, I've tried editing the path with the pen tool but that just results with the spikes not

@Courtney577

That kind of effect is usually done in Photoshop but i would give this a try:

Use the Gradient Mesh tool in Illustrator. You create a shape and then add rows and columns of anchor points with the Gradient Mesh tool. You then apply each anchor point with a different color depending on what you want.

Check out the adobe help file Illustrator Help /  Meshes

You could also do this using the blend tool.
