2. What is Illustrator?
• Illustrator is a vector drawing program.
• It is used to draw illustrations, cartoons,
diagrams, charts and logos.
• Unlike bitmap images that store information
in a grid of dots, Illustrator uses mathematical
equations to draw out the shapes.
• This makes vector graphics scalable without
the loss of resolution.
3.
4. Advantages of Vector Graphics
• Scalable without resolution loss
• Lines are crisp and sharp at any sizes
• Print at high resolution
• Smaller file size
• Good for drawing illustrations
Disadvantages of Vector graphics
• Drawings tend to look flat and cartoon
• Hard to produce photo realistic drawings
12. The Floating Palette
This is the floating palette which contains properties for our
shapes. It is commonly used for changing colors and stroke
width.

14. Day 2: Basic Shapes
•
In this lesson, we will look at how to use the
shape tools to draw our basic shapes in
illustrator. But before we start, we will look at
how to select a basic shape so that you have
no problems in selecting and editing shapes in
Illustrator.
15. Selection Tool: Used for selecting and moving a
shape. It can also be used to resize a shape.
Direct Selection Tool: Selects a single anchor
point instead of the whole shape. Used for
editing anchor point of a shape. Click once on a
point to select and hold Shift to select multiple
anchor points.
16. Shape Tools
Now we will move on to the Shape Tools. When
you go to the Tool Palette and hold the
Rectangle Tool, a list of shape tools will expand
out for you to pick. We will start with the default
Rectangle Tool.
17. Understanding Fill & Stroke
Click and drag out a Rectangle as shown. By
default, it has a white fill and black stroke.
(Stroke is the border of the shape)
18. Changing Fill Color
Let’s start changing the fill color for the
rectangle. Double click the Fill from the Tool
Palette. It will pop up the Color Picker. Drag the
slider to blue and select a deep blue color. Click
Ok after that.
19. Removing Stroke
Click the Stroke in the Tool Palette once to swap
it above Fill. Click the None icon boxed up in red
to set the Stroke to None. The black stroke will
disappear.
20. Constrain Proportions
To draw a perfect square, we will select the
Rectangle Tool. Hold Shift and drag to draw a
square. Same for the circle, we will select the
Ellipse Tool and hold Shift to drag out a circle.
21. Resizing Shapes
To resize shapes, select the shape using the
Selection Tool and a bounding box will appear.
Drag the corner anchor point to resize it. To
constrain to proportion while resizing, hold Shift
as you resize. Hold Alt if your want to resize
from the same position.
22. Rotating Shapes
Select the shape with the Selection Tool and a
bounding box will appear. Move your cursor
near the anchor corner and a rotation icon will
icon, click and turn it to rotate the square. To
snap at 45 degrees increment, hold Shift and
turn.
23. More Options for Shape Tools
Select the Star Tool. Click once on the artboard
and an option will pop up. Enter the same
values below and click Ok. It will draw a star
burst shape. This method can be used to bring
out more options for shape tools.
24. Conclusion
Almost all the objects found in our daily life can
be built from combining using the basic shape
tools.

28. Day 3: Drawing with the Pencil Tool
• We can quickly draw shapes and lines quickly
using the Pencil and Pen tool.
• Assignment: Watch the video at the link
below. Create a house with a background
using the Pencil and/or Pen tool.
• Submit design via eChalk, in a .pdf format.

29. Drawing a Line
Select the pencil tool and click and drag to draw
a free hand line drawing.
30. Closing Paths with Pencil Tool
To close a path, hold Alt/Option as your Pencil
Tool reaches the start point. A circle icon will
appear next to the Pencil Tool to indicate path
closure.
31. Smoothing Jaggy Lines
Normally when you draw with the Pencil Tool,
the path looks jaggy. To smoothen the parts that
are jaggy, simply hold Alt/Option to turn the
Pencil Tool to Smooth Tool. Then draw over the
area of the lines which you would like to
smoothen.
32. Reshaping Path
To reshape a path, make sure your path is
selected and use the Pencil Tool to redraw the
parts you would like to reshape. Note that the
start and end path must be close to the original
path to make it work.
33. Pencil Tool Preferences
You can turn on the Pencil Tool Preferences by
double clicking on the Pencil Tool. You can
change the fidelity and smoothness to find a
combination that works for you.
Fidelity: Determines how close the path is drawn to your mouse movement.
Set it at a higher fidelity if your not good at drawing with your mouse.
Smoothness: The higher you set for smoothness, the less anchor point it
produces. Thus, producing a smoother line.
34. Placing an Image
• Go to File > Place.
• A dialogue box will pop up and the file in
shared-->vmontgomery-->illustrator
• Find a photo you’ve saved somewhere on your
computer.
• Click outside your photo to place.
35. Layers
• Double click on the Layer name.
• The default name is Layer 1.
• A dialogue box will pop up. Here you can
change some of the Layer preferences like the
name. This is my photo layer, so I changed the
name to “Will.”
36.
37. • Next, I want to lock my sketch layer, so I don’t draw on it.
To lock a layer, click on the area to the left of the layer
name. A lock will appear. This isn’t permanent, so you can
always unlock it by clicking it again.
• FYI, to the left of the Lock is the Visibility. This makes the
layer visible or invisible.
38. • Finally, you want to create a second layer to draw
on. Click on the icon at the bottom that looks like
a sheet of paper. A new layer appears. You can
click on the name to change the name or other
preferences.
