1
00:00:01,632 --> 00:00:04,696
Hi there, in this video we're going
to draw this shape here.
2
00:00:04,856 --> 00:00:06,800
We're going to use
the Shape Builder Tool.
3
00:00:06,994 --> 00:00:09,750
I know I've used it for
a couple of tutorials already...
4
00:00:09,775 --> 00:00:11,455
but it's a really versatile tool.
5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,603
I use it so much that,
yes, it gets three videos.
6
00:00:14,765 --> 00:00:17,334
The cool thing about this kind
of impossible triangle...
7
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:20,146
is that it's super possible
with the Shape Builder Tool...
8
00:00:20,277 --> 00:00:22,872
and although this video is about
five minutes long...
9
00:00:22,897 --> 00:00:26,422
it really only takes less than a minute
to make this particular shape...
10
00:00:26,641 --> 00:00:29,918
given our super powerful
Shape Builder Tool.
11
00:00:29,951 --> 00:00:32,987
Let's go and learn how to do that now
in Adobe Illustrator.
12
00:00:33,764 --> 00:00:37,545
So to make our little shape,
we're going to go to 'File', 'New'...
13
00:00:37,959 --> 00:00:42,286
and like always, 'Letter', 'Landscape',
and hit 'Create'.
14
00:00:42,639 --> 00:00:45,139
So what I'm going to do
is start with some lines.
15
00:00:45,164 --> 00:00:46,251
We're going to start with three of them.
16
00:00:46,276 --> 00:00:48,166
So I'm going to grab
the 'Line Segment Tool'...
17
00:00:48,294 --> 00:00:49,474
I'm going to draw out a line.
18
00:00:49,565 --> 00:00:52,708
The cool thing about the Line Segment Tool,
watch this, I can draw any sort of line...
19
00:00:53,023 --> 00:00:54,936
but if I hold down 'Shift', watch this...
20
00:00:54,961 --> 00:00:59,146
Shift locks into kind of like
45°, 90°, nicer angles.
21
00:00:59,171 --> 00:01:00,480
So I want it to be straight...
22
00:01:00,505 --> 00:01:03,254
so I'm holding 'Shift',
and just drag a line, about that big.
23
00:01:03,613 --> 00:01:04,788
I'm going to have 'No' Fill...
24
00:01:04,813 --> 00:01:08,775
and have a Stroke of 'black',
and it's going to be of '1 point'.
25
00:01:09,095 --> 00:01:12,350
So, 'Black Arrow', I'm going to
move it to an appropriate place...
26
00:01:12,509 --> 00:01:13,678
and I'm going to make copies.
27
00:01:13,815 --> 00:01:17,007
So with it selected, go to
'Edit', 'Copy', 'Edit', 'Paste'.
28
00:01:17,032 --> 00:01:19,375
I'm using 'Control C', 'Control V'.
29
00:01:19,694 --> 00:01:20,702
Paste another one.
30
00:01:21,267 --> 00:01:23,195
What I want to do
is show you a couple of things.
31
00:01:23,220 --> 00:01:24,958
One is, I'm going to select
all of these guys--
32
00:01:24,983 --> 00:01:27,543
actually I'm going to get it to a
rough kind of place, like that...
33
00:01:27,796 --> 00:01:29,994
but they're not distributed nicely.
34
00:01:30,086 --> 00:01:31,277
I'm going to select them all...
35
00:01:31,302 --> 00:01:32,485
and the first thing I want to do is...
36
00:01:32,510 --> 00:01:34,705
make sure the spacing
between them is even.
37
00:01:34,866 --> 00:01:36,374
So I'm going to go to--
38
00:01:36,399 --> 00:01:39,461
you can see, by default, under
'Properties' panel, I've got 'Align'.
39
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,013
You can see, it only does the basics,
I can Align Center, which is what I want.
40
00:01:43,063 --> 00:01:45,611
You can see they don't quite line up,
so Align Center is great...
41
00:01:45,888 --> 00:01:47,372
but the Distribute's not there.
42
00:01:47,435 --> 00:01:48,786
So this little dotted line here...
43
00:01:48,811 --> 00:01:50,793
that shows you there's more options
to that Line panel.
44
00:01:50,818 --> 00:01:53,191
I want to show you the basics,
the main stuff you need.
45
00:01:53,495 --> 00:01:55,931
I'm going to click on this one,
you can see, these are a lot more options.
46
00:01:56,093 --> 00:01:58,887
In this case, I want to Distribute
'Vertical Centers'.
47
00:01:59,065 --> 00:02:01,452
You can see, it just really lines up
nicely there.
48
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:05,371
Next thing I want to do is
make another copy of these three.
49
00:02:05,419 --> 00:02:07,419
So I've got them all selected
with my 'Black Arrow'...
50
00:02:07,530 --> 00:02:09,122
'Edit', 'Copy', 'Edit', 'Paste' .
51
00:02:09,283 --> 00:02:11,125
And I want to rotate them around.
52
00:02:11,301 --> 00:02:13,285
Now, I want it to be a triangle so...
53
00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:14,803
I need it to be like--
54
00:02:15,081 --> 00:02:18,226
I can never work out the Maths,
so, nice thing you can do in Illustrator...
55
00:02:18,251 --> 00:02:21,004
is, see over here, with these guys
selected, I've got--
56
00:02:21,493 --> 00:02:25,453
Under 'Properties' panel, I've got
this way of changing the rotation.
57
00:02:25,736 --> 00:02:29,778
And I know that I need to take 360°,
and divide it by 3.
58
00:02:29,803 --> 00:02:32,048
So a bit of Math in these things,
I do them quite often...
59
00:02:32,073 --> 00:02:33,645
because my Math is terrible.
60
00:02:33,981 --> 00:02:36,155
So, divide by 3, '/3', hit 'return'...
61
00:02:36,188 --> 00:02:38,126
and that's 120.
62
00:02:39,145 --> 00:02:41,470
You probably know that already,
I don't.
63
00:02:42,306 --> 00:02:44,060
I've got this one,
I'm going to copy and paste it.
64
00:02:44,778 --> 00:02:46,651
And what I'd like to do for this one is...
65
00:02:46,875 --> 00:02:50,569
I know that it's 120 times 2, '120*2'.
66
00:02:51,079 --> 00:02:54,800
So that should get me my other angle,
so I'm hoping.
67
00:02:54,898 --> 00:02:58,582
Hit 'return', there it is there, 240.
I should be able to do Math like that.
68
00:02:59,547 --> 00:03:00,555
I can't.
69
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:05,113
I've got my kind of basic
building blocks for this one.
70
00:03:05,138 --> 00:03:07,466
This is where it gets super easy, I guess.
71
00:03:07,985 --> 00:03:10,453
?? because we're doing
like an impossible triangle...
72
00:03:10,478 --> 00:03:12,002
but super nice and quick.
73
00:03:12,027 --> 00:03:14,099
So I'm going to grab the
'Line Segment Tool', and just draw off--
74
00:03:14,252 --> 00:03:17,046
if you aren't sure of which ones,
you've got kind of four diamonds here.
75
00:03:17,199 --> 00:03:18,670
Draw off the top of these two...
76
00:03:19,441 --> 00:03:20,774
and draw these.
77
00:03:20,806 --> 00:03:23,236
You can see, it kind of has an
intersect to intersect.
78
00:03:23,398 --> 00:03:26,414
It's pretty clever at kind of
joining these things up.
79
00:03:26,536 --> 00:03:30,434
If yours doesn't, make sure 'View',
'Smart Guides' has got a tick next to it.
80
00:03:30,459 --> 00:03:31,730
If it doesn't, turn it on.
81
00:03:32,716 --> 00:03:34,534
So that's nearly done, right?
82
00:03:34,559 --> 00:03:36,600
I'm going to grab my 'Black Arrow',
select on it all...
83
00:03:36,632 --> 00:03:39,728
and over to my favorite tool,
that's why it gets three videos.
84
00:03:39,883 --> 00:03:41,518
Very versatile.
85
00:03:41,691 --> 00:03:43,225
I'm going to grab
the 'Shape Builder Tool'.
86
00:03:43,537 --> 00:03:45,695
And now it's trying to work out--
87
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,887
What I might do to tidy it up
is get rid of these excess lines.
88
00:03:48,912 --> 00:03:52,731
So hold down the 'Option' key on a Mac,
or the 'Alt' key on a PC to delete them.
89
00:03:52,847 --> 00:03:54,169
Just drag through these guys...
90
00:03:54,388 --> 00:03:56,410
just drag him through,
don't need that bit either.
91
00:03:56,692 --> 00:03:58,827
Really cool, slicy tool.
92
00:03:58,860 --> 00:04:01,670
If you've ever used the Scissors Tool,
it's a pain in the bum.
93
00:04:01,769 --> 00:04:03,578
This one here, super nice and quick.
94
00:04:03,914 --> 00:04:05,342
Now we need to join some bits up.
95
00:04:05,424 --> 00:04:07,717
And I had to practice this loads,
just so you know.
96
00:04:07,742 --> 00:04:10,290
If you're finding it tough,
donât worry, everyone does.
97
00:04:10,315 --> 00:04:11,315
Well, at least I did.
98
00:04:11,525 --> 00:04:15,064
So I'm going to click, hold, and drag there
from the outside to the inside.
99
00:04:16,046 --> 00:04:18,236
Outside to the inside,
that's why I have to keep turning this up.
100
00:04:18,261 --> 00:04:19,818
Outside to the inside.
101
00:04:20,408 --> 00:04:23,011
That kind of does it, right?
Then I join these guys up.
102
00:04:23,443 --> 00:04:24,586
These guys up.
103
00:04:24,673 --> 00:04:26,975
I show you just to kind of--
it's a really complex shape...
104
00:04:27,604 --> 00:04:31,200
but with the Shape Builder Tool
it's pretty quick and easy. I love it.
105
00:04:31,531 --> 00:04:33,404
So what I'd like you to do now is...
106
00:04:33,429 --> 00:04:36,483
well these are separate shapes,
I'd like you to go through and color them.
107
00:04:36,631 --> 00:04:38,441
Give it a background color as well.
108
00:04:38,466 --> 00:04:39,733
A nice big rectangle...
109
00:04:39,758 --> 00:04:43,557
and I'd like to see the design, the build,
the colors that you've used.
110
00:04:43,678 --> 00:04:45,258
I'd love to see it as a project.
111
00:04:45,608 --> 00:04:48,872
All right, that is going to be it
for the last of the Shape Builder Tools.
112
00:04:49,071 --> 00:04:51,754
Now we need to get on to
the Pen Tool and the Curvature Tool.
113
00:04:52,095 --> 00:04:53,333
All right, I'll see you in that video.
