This video is a hands-on watch-me-work session where I show you how I use the Shape Builder tool to color and edit my drawings and create spot illustrations. It's a game-changer for flexibility - you can easily edit both strokes and fills and apply color with the Shape Builder.
The Illustration style is up to you - you can use clean, uniform strokes or add textured linework with brushes or vectorized drawings. In this demonstration, I show varied ways of styling your illustration. The versatility of vector art is why I love working in Adobe Illustrator! I drew most of these illustrations using Illustrator on the iPad - check out my iPad tutorials for more.

My computer setup currently is Windows 11. Can I use an IPad with a pen tool without having to buy a Mac? What would you recommend? Thank you for such an informative video!

Adobe Illustrator runs on Windows, you don't need a Mac, but check out the system requirements here: helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/system-requirements.html#ai-on-the-desktop

I am on Illustrator 24 Beta, but I was just noticing that my tool bar does not have nearly as many tools as yours does? Should I do an update or are there apps that I am missing?

I am using the Advanced toolbar (Window > Toolbars >Advanced), and I also use the Astute Graphics plugins, so there are tools showing from those plugins.
