Reflect tool for the win🙌🏽

for the first tip, I click "E" - the free transform tool so I have flexibility when rotating ang scaling the shape. It's much more easier to control, and I don't have to change from Rotate to Scale everytime when I have the free transform tool lenabled.

Good tips! I’m reasonably experienced at Illustrator but it’s good to have a refresher course.

17:10 you can color all shapes with eye dropper tool(I) + ctrl for selecting the shapes without having to alternate between selection(v) and eye dropper(I)

From this video I realized I've been reflecting shapes wrong this whole time! I thought that the properties panel button way was the fastest because I wasn't using the transform menu but I had no idea you could just click O!! Thanks for the tips 🫡🫡🫡

I didn't know the double click out, but I always use the Escape key to get out.

I am very impressed by you, sir. You are my inspiration ✨️ I want to know which laptop you use and what laptop I purchased to do all kinds of graphic work without any lack or delay, I mean, give a quick response. Please suggest to me such kind of laptop.

At the 530 mark how did he join the hearts together? It was cool to see the lines smooth out where they were not quite connected

I've just started the video. Can I do everything in CS6?

@techyjc 2 ай бұрын

There are a couple of features that don't exist in CS6. Corner rounding and Puppet Warp. The pencil smoothing options were added in new versions of Illustrator. Everything else should work. For Rounded corners you could try using the rounded corner rectangle but without a plugin it is harder to do.

@@techyjcfantastic. Thanks for the clarification 😅

@ForeverDansky 2 ай бұрын

Another option for rounded corners is Effect --> Stylize --> Round Corners 👍
