thing to learn in Illustrator. 3 00:00:06,179 --> 00:00:07,283 We're going to do it together. 4 00:00:07,308 --> 00:00:09,918 We're going to make this Ninja, make an owl... 5 00:00:09,943 --> 00:00:11,937 we're going to make an alien, we're going to make a crown. 6 00:00:12,241 --> 00:00:15,233 Let's draw those now together, in Adobe Illustrator. 7 00:00:15,974 --> 00:00:17,126 To get started-- 8 00:00:17,167 --> 00:00:20,783 no, I'm not going to make you import it again, and make this a template. 9 00:00:20,815 --> 00:00:22,558 I'm going to save you some time. 10 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,157 Go to 'Exercise Files', open up one called 'Pen Tool'. 11 00:00:26,231 --> 00:00:27,977 I've kind of done that for you. 12 00:00:29,368 --> 00:00:31,979 Just make sure, under 'Layer 1', go to 'Properties' panel. 13 00:00:32,333 --> 00:00:33,746 Now we're going to zoom in on this alien. 14 00:00:35,288 --> 00:00:36,629 We're going to build the same things... 15 00:00:36,654 --> 00:00:40,026 so there's kind of differences between the Pen Tool and the Curvature Tool. 16 00:00:40,339 --> 00:00:43,339 Basically the Curvature Tool does a little thinking for you. 17 00:00:43,364 --> 00:00:47,106 It's pretty good, and pretty intuitive, but there's times when we just need to... 18 00:00:47,515 --> 00:00:49,888 get the Pen Tool to do exactly what you want. 19 00:00:50,055 --> 00:00:53,190 so grab the 'Pen Tool', it's just above the Curvature Tool here. 20 00:00:54,052 --> 00:00:55,442 And what we'll do is... 21 00:00:55,507 --> 00:00:57,385 you can see, mine's set as a cross, 'x' here... 22 00:00:57,410 --> 00:00:58,793 it's because I've got Caps Lock on. 23 00:00:58,818 --> 00:01:01,277 Some people prefer to use the Pen Tool like this... 24 00:01:01,533 --> 00:01:03,808 and it comes out of that tip of that pen... 25 00:01:04,176 --> 00:01:06,652 or you can hit 'Caps Lock' on your keyboard... 26 00:01:07,222 --> 00:01:09,659 and you can see, it becomes our cross heads. 27 00:01:10,188 --> 00:01:11,398 I'm going to do it just like this. 28 00:01:11,708 --> 00:01:14,041 I'm going to zoom in, see my whole guy. 29 00:01:15,210 --> 00:01:18,186 So what happens with Pen Tool is that... 30 00:01:18,211 --> 00:01:20,626 by default, it wants to do corners. 31 00:01:20,651 --> 00:01:22,192 Quite the opposite of the Curvature Tool. 32 00:01:22,815 --> 00:01:25,450 So I click once, click once, click once... 33 00:01:25,475 --> 00:01:28,876 it's only going to give me-- it's giving me a very interesting octopus. 34 00:01:28,901 --> 00:01:31,020 So, clicking once gives you corners. 35 00:01:31,117 --> 00:01:33,855 I'm going to undo all of that, get it back. 36 00:01:34,247 --> 00:01:38,606 So what you do with the Pen Tool is you click and drag to get a curve. 37 00:01:38,950 --> 00:01:40,855 So at the top here, I click and drag. 38 00:01:40,895 --> 00:01:44,235 This is probably the hardest thing to do, to get it started... 39 00:01:44,512 --> 00:01:47,226 because I click and drag out, but there is no curve... 40 00:01:47,258 --> 00:01:49,907 but I'm on my Apex, but once you get out here... 41 00:01:49,932 --> 00:01:51,137 you can see, it's kind of... 42 00:01:51,162 --> 00:01:52,474 you can see, it's a curve, because it's connected... 43 00:01:52,499 --> 00:01:54,535 plus you can see those handles instantly. 44 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,688 It was the Curvature Tool, they were hidden. 45 00:01:57,049 --> 00:01:59,422 So same thing, on the Apex here, I click. 46 00:02:00,084 --> 00:02:01,379 People just click once... 47 00:02:01,545 --> 00:02:04,818 and clicking once gives you a corner, for the Pen Tool. 48 00:02:05,090 --> 00:02:07,010 So it's not going to work, so I'm going to undo. 49 00:02:07,298 --> 00:02:09,354 So, click and drag down. 50 00:02:09,713 --> 00:02:11,358 I know, dragging down-- 51 00:02:11,383 --> 00:02:14,859 because you want to continue the lines, follow the line, drag that way. 52 00:02:15,011 --> 00:02:16,220 That can be a little confusing... 53 00:02:16,245 --> 00:02:18,961 so most people drag this way, and move it around. 54 00:02:19,204 --> 00:02:22,879 You get a bit of sense for it after we've done our full alien. 55 00:02:23,186 --> 00:02:25,123 Dragging it out to get this to kind of line up. 56 00:02:25,155 --> 00:02:26,657 Don't worry if you don’t quite get it. 57 00:02:27,046 --> 00:02:30,125 You can fix it up afterwards with the White Arrow, it's quite easy. 58 00:02:30,432 --> 00:02:31,475 Next thing I want to do is... 59 00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:33,646 before I carry on, I want to give it No Fill. 60 00:02:33,671 --> 00:02:36,664 So I'm going to the 'Fill' here, 'red line'. 61 00:02:37,819 --> 00:02:38,803 Click off. 62 00:02:39,473 --> 00:02:40,658 Remember, I'm going to look for... 63 00:02:40,683 --> 00:02:45,432 the same kind of technique as the Curvature Tool, for this Apex here. 64 00:02:45,587 --> 00:02:47,470 Click, hold, and drag down for the corner. 65 00:02:47,495 --> 00:02:49,327 This is going to be clicking and dragging for the whole thing... 66 00:02:49,352 --> 00:02:50,470 because there's no curves... 67 00:02:50,976 --> 00:02:52,063 sorry, no corners. 68 00:02:52,272 --> 00:02:54,930 So here, I'm going to click and drag, and you're like, "Oh no, I can't get it." 69 00:02:54,955 --> 00:02:59,207 So don’t worry too much about getting it perfect on the first go around. 70 00:02:59,232 --> 00:03:00,633 You can fix it with the White Arrow... 71 00:03:00,658 --> 00:03:03,044 and add, and remove Anchor Points afterwards. 72 00:03:03,380 --> 00:03:04,460 Same thing here. 73 00:03:04,485 --> 00:03:07,503 Click and drag, and you're like, "Ah, it's too big, it's not working." 74 00:03:07,528 --> 00:03:09,476 It's okay, we can adjust these afterwards. 75 00:03:09,508 --> 00:03:11,134 Get it kind of close. 76 00:03:11,971 --> 00:03:16,029 I'm just going to click, hold, and drag on all the Apex of these curves. 77 00:03:16,214 --> 00:03:17,230 Click and drag. 78 00:03:17,367 --> 00:03:20,312 It's more with the Apex, it's just kind of where the curve changes the most. 79 00:03:20,509 --> 00:03:23,477 So the curve changes quite a bit across here, clicking and dragging. 80 00:03:24,532 --> 00:03:25,715 Clicking and dragging. 81 00:03:26,662 --> 00:03:28,121 Clicking and dragging. 82 00:03:28,315 --> 00:03:29,664 Clicking and dragging. 83 00:03:30,509 --> 00:03:31,979 If yours is going horribly wrong... 84 00:03:32,138 --> 00:03:33,770 and it's still attached, not wanting to work... 85 00:03:33,881 --> 00:03:35,249 and you're like, "Dah." 86 00:03:35,854 --> 00:03:38,314 What you can do is, go either, undo... 87 00:03:38,452 --> 00:03:40,539 so 'Edit', 'Undo'... 88 00:03:40,764 --> 00:03:44,002 or 'Command Z' on a Mac, or 'Control Z' on a PC... 89 00:03:44,177 --> 00:03:47,627 or you can hit the 'Esc' key, the Esc key says, detach. 90 00:03:48,270 --> 00:03:51,992 Stop trying to draw lines everywhere. I'm going to undo, back to here. 91 00:03:53,553 --> 00:03:56,156 Again, if you click off, and it's like half finished... 92 00:03:56,181 --> 00:03:57,976 what you can do is-- watch my cursor... 93 00:03:58,122 --> 00:04:01,542 I've got my Pen Tool, kind of just hovering above... 94 00:04:01,583 --> 00:04:04,331 see that little change in the icon there? It gets a bit of a straight line... 95 00:04:04,356 --> 00:04:06,776 it is like, "You mean this?" and I'm like, "Yes, that's what I mean." 96 00:04:07,591 --> 00:04:09,964 So I'm going to click and drag that to get a curve. 97 00:04:11,095 --> 00:04:13,543 Click and drag you, click and drag you. 98 00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:16,170 Another one there. 99 00:04:20,144 --> 00:04:22,255 I'm just going to work my way around this alien. 100 00:04:25,770 --> 00:04:27,621 You, back to here. 101 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,915 This is another kind of got to know for people that are new. 102 00:04:30,989 --> 00:04:32,975 Is you come back here, and you're like, "Great, it's clicked once." 103 00:04:33,024 --> 00:04:35,821 And unlike the Curvature Tool, it doesn't kind of... 104 00:04:36,470 --> 00:04:37,869 automatically adjust, it kind of went... 105 00:04:37,894 --> 00:04:40,131 "You clicked once, you meant a corner, and I put a corner in." 106 00:04:40,380 --> 00:04:41,555 I'm going to undo. 107 00:04:41,618 --> 00:04:44,642 It's going to click and drag because I made a curve. 108 00:04:46,278 --> 00:04:49,762 Now, yours might not look anywhere near like mine. 109 00:04:49,787 --> 00:04:53,463 Mine's not that good either... but yours might be looking a little worse. 110 00:04:53,864 --> 00:04:55,148 What we can do, remember... 111 00:04:55,173 --> 00:04:58,225 is the White Arrow Tool, the Direct Selection Tool. 112 00:04:58,459 --> 00:05:00,761 We can click on these guys, and we can adjust them. 113 00:05:00,786 --> 00:05:03,033 So I can click on the Anchor Point., move the Anchor Point along... 114 00:05:03,058 --> 00:05:06,438 to make sure it's on the flow of the line... 115 00:05:06,651 --> 00:05:07,936 and grab these Handles. 116 00:05:08,032 --> 00:05:10,468 They influence the way the line passes through. 117 00:05:10,654 --> 00:05:12,336 I can kind of just wave a little around. 118 00:05:12,361 --> 00:05:15,783 Don't be afraid to move it around to get a feel for what it does. 119 00:05:15,936 --> 00:05:17,793 And kind of start doing these adjustments. 120 00:05:18,011 --> 00:05:19,300 In here as well. 121 00:05:20,545 --> 00:05:22,053 I'm going to tuck him in. 122 00:05:22,222 --> 00:05:24,906 I'm just going to work my way around just to kind of fix this up a little bit. 123 00:05:24,931 --> 00:05:26,373 I'm not going to spend too much time on it. 124 00:05:26,853 --> 00:05:28,920 I say that every time, and then I spend loads of time... 125 00:05:28,945 --> 00:05:30,467 trying to make this thing look beautiful. 126 00:05:31,859 --> 00:05:33,433 As much as... 127 00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:36,077 I'm quickly on that naff alien. 128 00:05:40,503 --> 00:05:41,979 Beautiful, Dan. 129 00:05:44,873 --> 00:05:47,476 With this one as well, I've got my Smart Guides off. 130 00:05:47,501 --> 00:05:48,855 Just because there can be a little hassle... 131 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,635 in using the Pen Tool, trying to free form stuff. 132 00:05:53,256 --> 00:05:56,599 Smart Guides, remember, under 'View', 'Smart Guides'. 133 00:05:56,624 --> 00:05:58,020 There it is there, I've got them off. 134 00:05:59,546 --> 00:06:02,146 Let's do the inside one, click and drag. 135 00:06:02,457 --> 00:06:03,894 Remember, that's the hard one, because you're like-- 136 00:06:03,927 --> 00:06:06,350 when you follow whichever way you've dragged... 137 00:06:06,375 --> 00:06:08,958 if I drag up, I've got to follow the line this way... 138 00:06:08,983 --> 00:06:10,453 because it's coming out that way. 139 00:06:10,625 --> 00:06:14,046 If I drag down, it comes out over there, you can drag. 140 00:06:14,820 --> 00:06:18,495 And with a circle it needs at least four points to kind of look half decent. 141 00:06:20,468 --> 00:06:23,716 You can see, with the Curvature Tool, it does a load of fixing up for you... 142 00:06:23,749 --> 00:06:24,791 which is quite cool... 143 00:06:25,353 --> 00:06:27,051 but sometimes you just don’t want that as well... 144 00:06:27,076 --> 00:06:30,488 so the Pen Tool's a lot easier because it gives you a lot more control... 145 00:06:30,513 --> 00:06:31,602 a lot more manual. 146 00:06:33,084 --> 00:06:34,592 All right, that will do. 147 00:06:35,745 --> 00:06:37,213 Yes, I just used the Ellipse Tool. 148 00:06:37,238 --> 00:06:39,451 Probably, to get it looking very nice. 149 00:06:39,711 --> 00:06:42,743 I'm totally going to cheat now, because I'm bored of this alien. 150 00:06:43,036 --> 00:06:44,449 I'm just going to grab my 'Black Arrow'. 151 00:06:45,820 --> 00:06:47,947 Click off, click on, copy, paste. 152 00:06:47,972 --> 00:06:51,035 My terrible circle is now just going to be a bit smaller. 153 00:06:53,065 --> 00:06:55,090 Let's look at the crown, that's where it becomes easy. 154 00:06:55,115 --> 00:06:57,981 Pen Tool loves this stuff, don’t have to hold anything down. 155 00:06:58,006 --> 00:07:00,619 Just click once, click once, click once. 156 00:07:01,153 --> 00:07:02,526 So, with the Pen Tool... 157 00:07:03,195 --> 00:07:06,362 clicking and dragging gives you a curve, clicking once gives you a corner point. 158 00:07:06,954 --> 00:07:07,922 Awesome! 159 00:07:08,144 --> 00:07:11,200 So then we get to our Ninja. Hello, Ninja. 160 00:07:11,569 --> 00:07:12,728 I'm going to zoom out a little bit. 161 00:07:13,422 --> 00:07:15,620 You'll notice that when you zoom out, and you've got something else selected... 162 00:07:15,645 --> 00:07:17,472 it goes, "Hey, did you mean this?" 163 00:07:17,719 --> 00:07:19,650 So it kind of zooms out, and moves back up there... 164 00:07:19,675 --> 00:07:21,250 and you're like, "No, no, down here, please." 165 00:07:21,541 --> 00:07:23,557 You can turn that off under 'Preferences'. 166 00:07:24,194 --> 00:07:27,036 We're going to start down the bottom right hand corner with the Pen Tool. 167 00:07:27,150 --> 00:07:29,983 And that is a corner, nice sharp corner, click once. 168 00:07:30,303 --> 00:07:32,645 Now where is the curve, the curve here is-- 169 00:07:32,670 --> 00:07:35,552 the Apex of it is half way through here, so I'm going to click and drag. 170 00:07:35,810 --> 00:07:38,008 This is a bit hard, because you're like, "Just need a subtle one." 171 00:07:38,654 --> 00:07:39,638 So you end up kind of-- 172 00:07:39,853 --> 00:07:43,043 give it a wiggle around, give it a feel for it as you drag it with the Handles. 173 00:07:43,231 --> 00:07:44,937 And when you get it to here, that's it. 174 00:07:45,734 --> 00:07:48,702 Now, this is going to be a corner because it's a change of direction. 175 00:07:49,769 --> 00:07:51,721 And this is going to be a corner, so just click once. 176 00:07:51,746 --> 00:07:53,875 Corner, click once, corner, click once. 177 00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:56,997 There's a little curve in here, and click, and drag. 178 00:07:58,366 --> 00:08:00,454 Curve. Curve it once for a corner. 179 00:08:02,337 --> 00:08:03,998 We've got curves again. How many? 180 00:08:04,125 --> 00:08:06,975 Like, do I just want one?
