Let's go to 'File', 'New'. 9 00:00:24,970 --> 00:00:28,089 We're going to have our 'Print' document, it's going to be 'Letter'. 10 00:00:28,219 --> 00:00:31,473 It's going to be 'Landscape'. Let's click 'Create'. 11 00:00:32,938 --> 00:00:35,549 Let's bring in an image, so 'File', 'Place'. 12 00:00:36,204 --> 00:00:38,720 And the difference in this case is... 13 00:00:38,865 --> 00:00:40,883 we did before, we're going to use 'Drawing 1'. 14 00:00:40,939 --> 00:00:43,252 And in previous tutorials, if we've watched them... 15 00:00:43,277 --> 00:00:44,541 we've clicked on 'Template'. 16 00:00:44,566 --> 00:00:48,414 And that kind of puts it on its own layer, it fades it out a little bit... 17 00:00:48,509 --> 00:00:51,621 and locks it, so that it's easy to draw over the top of. 18 00:00:51,653 --> 00:00:53,799 We don’t want the fading part of it. 19 00:00:53,824 --> 00:00:56,635 So we can't use Template, we're just going to leave 'Drawing 1'. 20 00:00:56,660 --> 00:00:57,852 I'm going to click 'Place'. 21 00:00:59,575 --> 00:01:00,910 You can click and drag out. 22 00:01:00,935 --> 00:01:03,032 That will give you a specific size... 23 00:01:03,057 --> 00:01:05,341 or if you click once, like I'm going to do here... 24 00:01:05,457 --> 00:01:08,250 it's going to just put it in at its full size. 25 00:01:08,437 --> 00:01:10,548 So depending on your image, you might drag it out... 26 00:01:10,588 --> 00:01:14,401 or just like I've done here, click once, and it comes in full size. 27 00:01:14,975 --> 00:01:17,928 Also, just to make sure, I've got 'View'... 28 00:01:18,185 --> 00:01:20,582 and make sure Smart Guides is turned back 'on'. 29 00:01:20,607 --> 00:01:22,108 We turned it off in the previous tutorial. 30 00:01:22,523 --> 00:01:24,358 I'll click, hold, and drag it so it kind of lines up. 31 00:01:24,383 --> 00:01:26,875 It's a little bit big for this page, but it's okay. 32 00:01:27,206 --> 00:01:28,980 So, in your Layers panel, we're going to... 33 00:01:29,005 --> 00:01:32,590 manually do that Template part that we did in the previous video. 34 00:01:32,883 --> 00:01:34,737 So this one here, I'm going to click 'Layer 1'... 35 00:01:34,762 --> 00:01:36,169 and this is going to be 'Background'. 36 00:01:37,268 --> 00:01:38,649 This is not essential. 37 00:01:38,953 --> 00:01:41,271 Just handy when we're doing this tutorial together. 38 00:01:41,528 --> 00:01:45,785 So I've bent it, and there's this kind of mysterious icon here... 39 00:01:45,810 --> 00:01:49,350 just kind of empty space, click it, it locks the Layer. 40 00:01:49,489 --> 00:01:52,171 So, just meant to know that that's the place to click. 41 00:01:52,425 --> 00:01:53,782 I'm going to make a new Layer. 42 00:01:53,807 --> 00:01:55,745 There's a little turned up page down the bottom here... 43 00:01:55,770 --> 00:01:57,015 I'm going to click on that once... 44 00:01:57,322 --> 00:01:58,221 and we've got Layer 2. 45 00:01:58,246 --> 00:02:00,943 We're just going to double click 'Layer 2' for this one drawing. 46 00:02:02,224 --> 00:02:04,097 I know I'm on this layer because it's blue. 47 00:02:04,525 --> 00:02:06,867 So the Pencil Tool is this guy here... 48 00:02:07,545 --> 00:02:09,196 underneath the Paintbrush Tool. 49 00:02:09,334 --> 00:02:13,170 You might find you've got the Shaper Tool out by default. 50 00:02:13,450 --> 00:02:15,927 Click, hold it down, and grab the 'Pencil Tool'. 51 00:02:17,589 --> 00:02:18,999 Now the Pencil Tool, by default... 52 00:02:19,024 --> 00:02:21,240 is a little bit weird, and a little bit hard to use. 53 00:02:21,265 --> 00:02:22,306 So we're going to change that. 54 00:02:22,331 --> 00:02:24,312 So let's say I'm going to draw a smiley face... 55 00:02:24,337 --> 00:02:25,601 I'm going to draw it around here. 56 00:02:25,821 --> 00:02:28,567 Now the weird thing about it is, watch this, if I keep drawing... 57 00:02:28,607 --> 00:02:32,008 can you see, it doesn't draw new lines, it redraws over the existing one. 58 00:02:32,041 --> 00:02:35,012 Kind of disappears. Kind of a strange thing happens. 59 00:02:35,044 --> 00:02:37,329 So we're going to change that by default, so I'm going to delete that. 60 00:02:37,491 --> 00:02:39,062 Hitting the 'Delete' key on my keyboard. 61 00:02:39,358 --> 00:02:41,533 What I'm also going to do is go to my 'Properties panel'... 62 00:02:41,798 --> 00:02:45,750 and I'm going to make sure I've got 'No' Fill, and have a Stroke of 'white'. 63 00:02:46,493 --> 00:02:48,477 Just to fit with what we've got in the background here. 64 00:02:48,893 --> 00:02:51,695 To change the Pencil Tool options, you just double click on it. 65 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:52,927 So double click the 'Pencil Tool'... 66 00:02:53,072 --> 00:02:55,659 and in here, these are things we want to change, like 'Keep Selected'. 67 00:02:55,955 --> 00:02:57,702 We want to turn it off. 68 00:02:58,037 --> 00:02:59,799 The other thing we want to do is... 69 00:03:00,103 --> 00:03:01,365 here, where it says Fidelity... 70 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,399 it's going to try and help you out make your drawing look a little smoother... 71 00:03:05,424 --> 00:03:07,170 and a little better. I love it right up. 72 00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:09,142 Especially if I'm drawing... 73 00:03:09,167 --> 00:03:12,063 say, with my mouse, like I am here, or my touch pad. 74 00:03:12,288 --> 00:03:13,645 Wacom is a little different. 75 00:03:13,977 --> 00:03:16,996 Even with that Wacom tablet, where you're drawing with a pen... 76 00:03:18,062 --> 00:03:20,316 I like to crank it up, maybe not as high as this... 77 00:03:20,341 --> 00:03:22,430 but we'll go full max smooth. 78 00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:24,576 Now when we draw, look what happens. 79 00:03:24,864 --> 00:03:27,404 Just kind of makes everything fluid and nice. 80 00:03:28,467 --> 00:03:29,915 Probably not the nicest... 81 00:03:30,284 --> 00:03:32,830 but let's grab our 'Black Arrow', I'm going to delete him. 82 00:03:33,651 --> 00:03:36,255 What I'd like to do here is just some kind of free form. 83 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,797 I'm going to do flames out the bike for no good reason... 84 00:03:38,822 --> 00:03:41,943 but you can see, when I draw and let go, it's done quite a nice job. 85 00:03:42,145 --> 00:03:44,812 What I'm going to do is actually do it one piece, and watch when I let go... 86 00:03:44,965 --> 00:03:46,197 it kind of smoothenss that out nice. 87 00:03:46,246 --> 00:03:49,658 So my flames are going to be terrible. 88 00:03:49,683 --> 00:03:51,913 What I'd like to do is, instead of doing it in one go... 89 00:03:51,938 --> 00:03:53,009 I'd like to have two parts. 90 00:03:53,034 --> 00:03:56,409 Just going to help us when we do the next bit of example... 91 00:03:56,708 --> 00:04:00,223 when we have a little look at brushes. 92 00:04:00,417 --> 00:04:02,925 So I'm just going to kind of draw these flames. 93 00:04:03,134 --> 00:04:05,374 Now I really want to grab my Wacom tablet here... 94 00:04:05,399 --> 00:04:07,448 because this is looking pretty bad. 95 00:04:07,949 --> 00:04:09,401 These are meant to be flames, by the way. 96 00:04:10,047 --> 00:04:11,984 Looks like a pineapple spring at the back. 97 00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:13,771 Totally looks like a pineapple. 98 00:04:14,734 --> 00:04:15,623 But that's okay. 99 00:04:16,444 --> 00:04:19,674 What we're going to do is look at some of the techniques for Stroke. 100 00:04:20,146 --> 00:04:23,186 So, some of the first things you need to know about drawing lines like these... 101 00:04:23,218 --> 00:04:25,439 is, with the 'Black Arrow', let's select them all... 102 00:04:25,665 --> 00:04:27,564 and because we've got the background layer locked... 103 00:04:27,773 --> 00:04:29,248 it doesn't select any of that stuff. 104 00:04:29,441 --> 00:04:32,449 So I've got them selected, and over here, under our Properties panel... 105 00:04:32,642 --> 00:04:34,818 the basics are Stroke, we got our Stroke Weight... 106 00:04:34,843 --> 00:04:37,827 which we looked in an earlier example. 107 00:04:38,163 --> 00:04:40,277 I'm going to crank it up to say 6 points... 108 00:04:40,302 --> 00:04:42,911 just so I can show you some of the other options for Stroke. 109 00:04:43,606 --> 00:04:45,677 Now to open up all the advanced settings for Stroke... 110 00:04:45,702 --> 00:04:47,146 you just click on the word 'Stroke'... 111 00:04:47,171 --> 00:04:48,729 and it kind of opens them all up. 112 00:04:49,017 --> 00:04:50,388 If you want to go a different way... 113 00:04:50,413 --> 00:04:52,255 there's a way of opening up that panel forever... 114 00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:53,941 by going to 'Window', and open up 'Strokes'. 115 00:04:53,966 --> 00:04:55,783 If you're getting sick of having to open it... 116 00:04:55,808 --> 00:04:57,354 and you've got a big enough computer... 117 00:04:57,502 --> 00:04:59,709 you can just go to 'Window', and 'Stroke'. 118 00:05:00,645 --> 00:05:03,093 It's only giving you the tiny options, weird, I know... 119 00:05:03,221 --> 00:05:04,665 but if you double click the word 'Stoke'... 120 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,272 double click it again... 121 00:05:06,486 --> 00:05:07,581 it's got like three modes. 122 00:05:09,531 --> 00:05:10,301 Four modes. 123 00:05:10,501 --> 00:05:11,571 Small version. 124 00:05:11,714 --> 00:05:12,912 Stupid version. 125 00:05:13,285 --> 00:05:13,929 Massive version. 126 00:05:13,954 --> 00:05:15,859 I don’t know why they've got all these different versions. 127 00:05:15,884 --> 00:05:19,976 But if you keep clicking on it, you'll find, that's the big version. 128 00:05:20,001 --> 00:05:21,780 I'm going to use this option in here. 129 00:05:22,646 --> 00:05:26,346 So collapses back in, and better use of my space. 130 00:05:26,594 --> 00:05:27,395 I'm going to click on it... 131 00:05:27,420 --> 00:05:29,351 and the first thing we're going to look at is the clapping. 132 00:05:29,592 --> 00:05:31,751 So this changes quite a bit of the look. 133 00:05:31,783 --> 00:05:35,208 I'm going to zoom in a little bit of my pineapple flames. 134 00:05:35,456 --> 00:05:36,781 I'm going to click on 'Stroke'. 135 00:05:38,245 --> 00:05:40,562 By default, you're going to have what's called a Butt Cap. 136 00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:42,300 Right there, Butt Cap. 137 00:05:42,446 --> 00:05:45,399 Unfortunately named, and it's this kind of just flat at the end. 138 00:05:45,615 --> 00:05:48,131 If I click this next one, 'Rounded Cap'... 139 00:05:48,206 --> 00:05:50,610 can you see, I'm going to go on, off, on, off. 140 00:05:50,732 --> 00:05:52,828 Just kind of rounds off the ends, and that's really nice... 141 00:05:52,853 --> 00:05:54,323 especially when we go to Lower Stroke... 142 00:05:54,490 --> 00:05:56,752 a small Stroke like this, you don’t want to have... 143 00:05:57,001 --> 00:05:59,009 like really pointy ends, or the Butt Caps. 144 00:05:59,250 --> 00:06:01,678 Just kind of curves it off a little bit nicely. 145 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,379 I'm going to go back up to '6 points'. 146 00:06:03,620 --> 00:06:05,700 Let's have a look at some of the other options. 147 00:06:07,632 --> 00:06:09,458 So Butt Cap is flat at the end. 148 00:06:09,483 --> 00:06:11,702 This one here, I very rarely use, Projecting Cap. 149 00:06:11,727 --> 00:06:14,446 Kind of goes out past the line, ends here... 150 00:06:14,471 --> 00:06:16,669 and it goes back past, so let's go Butt Cap. 151 00:06:17,246 --> 00:06:19,428 Projecting Cap, I think it's the same like Butt Cap. 152 00:06:19,812 --> 00:06:21,185 Okay, Projecting Cap. 153 00:06:21,417 --> 00:06:23,258 Actually I'm going to leave it on Butt Cap. 154 00:06:24,031 --> 00:06:25,689 And we've got these corners here. 155 00:06:25,842 --> 00:06:28,625 So, lots of these lines aren't corners, they're just straight lines. 156 00:06:28,650 --> 00:06:31,196 This one here is a corner, and do I need any of the other ones? 157 00:06:31,221 --> 00:06:32,373 I think, just this one here. 158 00:06:32,557 --> 00:06:33,790 Look what happens when I change it... 159 00:06:33,815 --> 00:06:36,686 from a corner of a Miter Join to a Round Join. 160 00:06:36,814 --> 00:06:40,139 Can you see, where it goes round this curve, it's rounded on the edge. 161 00:06:40,595 --> 00:06:42,119 So the Joins are different. 162 00:06:42,413 --> 00:06:44,963 And this last one here, kind of levels it off, like an edge. 163 00:06:44,988 --> 00:06:46,241 I never use that one either... 164 00:06:46,266 --> 00:06:48,186 so either of these first two are quite good. 165 00:06:48,627 --> 00:06:50,667 I'm going to leave those as is. 166 00:06:51,099 --> 00:06:54,575 And what might look good for our flaming pineapple now is... 167 00:06:54,722 --> 00:06:57,349 down here, right at the bottom, something called Profile. 168 00:06:57,575 --> 00:06:59,601 Profile's a nice way of just changing the line... 169 00:06:59,626 --> 00:07:01,384 instead of being perfect all the way along. 170 00:07:01,409 --> 00:07:02,553 Click on this one here. 171 00:07:02,578 --> 00:07:04,405 It's kind of makes it tapered at both ends. 172 00:07:04,430 --> 00:07:06,897 You can kind of see, that gets projected on to our lines. 173 00:07:07,043 --> 00:07:10,307 That's kind of why I wanted having separate lines... 174 00:07:10,529 --> 00:07:13,180 because you get this kind of
