Hello, color loving Illustrator people.
1

2
00:00:02,244 --> 00:00:04,328
In this video we're going to
take our whale...
2

3
00:00:04,422 --> 00:00:06,688
and we're going to recolor
with my couple of different options.
3

4
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:08,336
Super quick, super easy...
4

5
00:00:08,361 --> 00:00:12,250
using the Recolor Artwork option
in Adobe Illustrator.
5

6
00:00:12,883 --> 00:00:14,211
Let's go learn how to use that now.
6

7
00:00:14,843 --> 00:00:16,789
First thing to do is, open up...
7

8
00:00:16,814 --> 00:00:19,672
'Recolor Artwork' from
your 'Exercise Files'.
8

9
00:00:19,867 --> 00:00:22,453
I'm going to zoom out a little bit,
I'm going to grab the Artboard Tool.
9

10
00:00:22,478 --> 00:00:24,688
The shortcut is 'Shift O',
it's a weird one.
10

11
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,687
But I use it all the time, 'Shift O'.
11

12
00:00:27,242 --> 00:00:28,836
And we're going to make a duplicate.
12

13
00:00:28,968 --> 00:00:30,625
Easiest way to make a duplicate is...
13

14
00:00:30,836 --> 00:00:33,680
holding down the 'Alt' key on a PC, 
or 'Option' key on a Mac...
14

15
00:00:33,922 --> 00:00:35,609
I use this for duplicating shapes.
15

16
00:00:35,634 --> 00:00:38,344
You can get the same, but you've got to
drag the actual name, that's the best bit.
16

17
00:00:38,609 --> 00:00:39,914
Click on the name 'Artboard 1'.
17

18
00:00:40,148 --> 00:00:42,078
And we're going to have
a second color option.
18

19
00:00:43,078 --> 00:00:45,977
With my 'Black Arrow' I'm going to
select all the colors I want to adjust.
19

20
00:00:46,009 --> 00:00:48,015
Basically it's only kind of two things.
20

21
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,398
There's two kind of Gradients I've got.
21

22
00:00:49,703 --> 00:00:51,719
And I've locked the background here.
22

23
00:00:51,977 --> 00:00:53,593
So, I've got them both selected...
23

24
00:00:53,618 --> 00:00:57,250
and 'Command H' gets rid
of all the blue lines.
24

25
00:00:57,275 --> 00:00:58,609
I do that when I'm recoloring.
25

26
00:00:59,305 --> 00:01:01,828
It's 'Control H' on a PC.
26

27
00:01:02,047 --> 00:01:03,173
Just to kind of make it look nice.
27

28
00:01:03,198 --> 00:01:04,852
Make sure you turn it
back on, you'll get lost.
28

29
00:01:05,375 --> 00:01:07,625
With it selected, over here
there's one called Recolor.
29

30
00:01:07,650 --> 00:01:09,523
Make sure you're on 'Properties Panel',
click on 'Recolor'.
30

31
00:01:10,172 --> 00:01:11,382
To mainly adjust him.
31

32
00:01:11,414 --> 00:01:14,202
I've kept this quite simple,
it's only four colors going on.
32

33
00:01:14,227 --> 00:01:16,477
That's either side of both
of these gradients.
33

34
00:01:16,502 --> 00:01:17,805
You might have a lot more here.
34

35
00:01:18,047 --> 00:01:20,367
So to manually go and change,
you might go and actually--
35

36
00:01:20,392 --> 00:01:22,275
instead of having to reach through 
the whole document...
36

37
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:23,398
and find out all the instances...
37

38
00:01:23,423 --> 00:01:25,500
you can just go, double click this guy.
38

39
00:01:26,281 --> 00:01:28,914
That's my current color, and this is
where I'm going to switch it to.
39

40
00:01:28,954 --> 00:01:30,393
You just double click that 'Swatch'...
40

41
00:01:30,418 --> 00:01:31,586
and you can go into here, and say...
41

42
00:01:31,611 --> 00:01:33,365
actually I want to switch
that out for pink.
42

43
00:01:34,125 --> 00:01:34,852
Click 'OK'.
43

44
00:01:34,884 --> 00:01:36,062
You can see, it's gone through...
44

45
00:01:36,087 --> 00:01:37,906
and switched every instance
of that for the pink.
45

46
00:01:38,117 --> 00:01:39,688
You can do that for all of them.
46

47
00:01:39,719 --> 00:01:42,147
This guy here as well,
he's got a different pink too.
47

48
00:01:43,578 --> 00:01:45,836
I'm going to make it look ugly,
I know I am.
48

49
00:01:47,609 --> 00:01:49,164
You know what's going to happen.
49

50
00:01:51,109 --> 00:01:52,109
You get what I mean, right?
50

51
00:01:52,134 --> 00:01:54,695
So you can manually go through
and double click these to change it.
51

52
00:01:55,203 --> 00:01:57,000
Let's click 'OK' and look at it
in a different way.
52

53
00:01:57,025 --> 00:01:59,500
I'm going to grab my 'Artboard',
remember, 'Shift 0'.
53

54
00:02:00,141 --> 00:02:01,828
No, it's 'Shift O', not zero.
54

55
00:02:02,391 --> 00:02:04,234
Hold down the 'Alt' key,
or the 'Option' key.
55

56
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:06,250
Black Arrow, which is the 'V' key.
56

57
00:02:06,758 --> 00:02:08,570
Select all of this, we're going to 
go to 'Recolor'...
57

58
00:02:08,595 --> 00:02:09,930
and what we'll do is--
58

59
00:02:09,955 --> 00:02:14,296
actually what I might do is duplicate
the first one before I made it run.
59

60
00:02:14,555 --> 00:02:17,430
So this guy, I want a second copy of.
60

61
00:02:18,378 --> 00:02:20,611
While we're here, I'm going to 
do another one after this.
61

62
00:02:20,636 --> 00:02:21,597
I'll have four in total.
62

63
00:02:22,722 --> 00:02:25,159
So I'm going to select this guy,
and go to 'Recolor'
63

64
00:02:25,184 --> 00:02:27,995
One of the other interesting options
is the Random one.
64

65
00:02:28,190 --> 00:02:30,729
So all this is going to do is grab--
you've got four colors...
65

66
00:02:30,807 --> 00:02:33,135
and we've used them in a specific way.
66

67
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,534
It's going to go-- this little icon here,
a Random.
67

68
00:02:35,559 --> 00:02:37,612
This goes and randomly changes them.
68

69
00:02:38,097 --> 00:02:40,159
Moves him all around the place.
69

70
00:02:40,635 --> 00:02:43,291
It's just a nice kind of way, I guess...
70

71
00:02:43,316 --> 00:02:45,804
if you've got maybe--
Gradients is not working as well...
71

72
00:02:45,836 --> 00:02:47,687
but maybe you've used 
five color Swatches...
72

73
00:02:47,712 --> 00:02:49,687
you just want to kind of 
go through all this...
73

74
00:02:49,789 --> 00:02:52,453
see what a different kind 
of mixture might be.
74

75
00:02:52,625 --> 00:02:53,765
So you can click on 'Random'.
75

76
00:02:54,836 --> 00:02:57,679
Let's look at the last one here,
and probably the most important.
76

77
00:02:57,929 --> 00:02:59,195
I saved it till the last.
77

78
00:02:59,328 --> 00:03:01,554
It is Recolor.
78

79
00:03:01,711 --> 00:03:04,039
What we want to do now
is go to Edit...
79

80
00:03:04,064 --> 00:03:05,878
because Assign is what it is by default...
80

81
00:03:05,903 --> 00:03:08,039
let's click on 'Edit', 
and you get this Color Wheel.
81

82
00:03:08,304 --> 00:03:09,437
There's two ways of doing it.
82

83
00:03:09,470 --> 00:03:12,609
You can just kind of drag them around
by themselves...
83

84
00:03:12,634 --> 00:03:16,343
because, these are the colors, right?
That's the kind of width that I'm using.
84

85
00:03:16,368 --> 00:03:19,523
These are the two greens, and this is
the kind of yellowy thing I was using.
85

86
00:03:19,571 --> 00:03:21,804
You can just move him around,
just drag him in.
86

87
00:03:21,831 --> 00:03:23,060
It's not much different, I guess...
87

88
00:03:23,085 --> 00:03:24,910
then that first option when
we double clicked him.
88

89
00:03:24,948 --> 00:03:26,956
Where it gets really cool
is if you link them all.
89

90
00:03:27,058 --> 00:03:29,167
So when you change this one, 
they all change.
90

91
00:03:29,768 --> 00:03:31,026
It kind of gives you...
91

92
00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:35,191
a way of kind of recoloring 
the whole thing at once.
92

93
00:03:35,355 --> 00:03:38,019
And they keep the kind of balance of...
93

94
00:03:41,114 --> 00:03:42,682
initial Gradient color selection.
94

95
00:03:42,941 --> 00:03:44,300
And the Color Well moves around.
95

96
00:03:44,441 --> 00:03:47,011
Am I making this better?
Not sure.
96

97
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:51,058
I'm going to leave it there, click 'OK'.
97

98
00:03:51,083 --> 00:03:52,902
What I'd like you to do
as a class project...
98

99
00:03:52,927 --> 00:03:55,237
is to go through, come up 
with your own color options...
99

100
00:03:55,262 --> 00:03:56,355
maybe make a few of them.
100

101
00:03:56,462 --> 00:04:00,016
Take a screen shot, send them to me
on Instagram or Twitter.
101

102
00:04:00,259 --> 00:04:03,906
I am @bringyourownlaptop on Instagram...
102

103
00:04:03,953 --> 00:04:07,215
and I'm @danlovesadobe on Twitter.
103

104
00:04:07,732 --> 00:04:12,638
Or of course, post them on the website here
as a class project.
104

105
00:04:13,076 --> 00:04:14,835
I'd love to see what you come up with.
105

106
00:04:14,867 --> 00:04:17,359
You don't have to use Gradients,
you could switch those out first.
106

107
00:04:17,867 --> 00:04:19,125
Let's get on to the next video.
