How to Draw in Adobe Illustrator

For me, I experience like I almost e'er go back to the Pen Tool whenever I demand to create "non-standard" shapes and forms; only it tin can be really fourth dimension consuming to use the Pen Tool when trying to draw something that has a more than organic shape. That's where some of these other tools I feature in the video come in handy!

The main tools y'all will be using:

Line Segment Tool

Shortcut: \

Pen Tool

Shortcut: P

Brush Tool

Shortcut: B

Pencil Tool

Shortcut: N

If you enjoyed this, be certain to bank check some of my other Adobe Illustrator tutorials. Every bit a designer, I utilize Adobe Illustrator to create all of the designs you come across on my site, and I admittedly love it!

I don't showcase the brush tool very much in the video; but, just to reiterate, the main difference between the using the Pencil Tool and the Brush Tool, is that, even though you tin modify the stroke after, the Pencil Tool will alway default back to a basic line when you start cartoon again. The Brush Tool, on the other paw, will continue to implement your brush selection with each new stroke.

I hope yous enjoyed learning how to draw in Adobe Illustrator. Now become and create something amazing for me!
