Creating objects with the Shape Tools
Creating objects with the Shape Tools
Often when you’re creating images in illustraator it’s easy to start off by using
primitiive shapes.
I want you to select the Elipse tool first. We’ll select the Elipse tool and we’re
going to draw a circle. Now if I place the cursor over the center here and start to
draw you’ll see that the elipse comes out from the center diagonally and I can
make it long and slim, or short and fat, or the opposite. And if I hold down
SHIFT as I’m drawing it will constrain it to create a perfect circle. Now if I hold
down ALT while I’m drawing it will start to draw from the center and thats a
keyboard shortcut that I like to use just to draw from the center of my
Document. Now while I’m drawig I can also hold down Space Bar and that
allows me to move it slightly into position
