1 00:00:02,630 --> 00:00:04,580 Welcome to the BENCIC tool. 2 00:00:04,910 --> 00:00:08,820 This is our first free form drawing tool in Illustrator. 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:14,480 We are going to use it in conjunction with the with tool so we create some amazing graphics. 4 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,630 Just like this, though, the pencil tool can be used in many ways. 5 00:00:18,650 --> 00:00:19,870 I'm going to show you this way. 6 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,690 From there on, you can expand on it. 7 00:00:22,310 --> 00:00:25,700 Now, if you want to follow along with me and I will be very nice, please. 8 00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:29,120 Open pencil dash width 2.8. 9 00:00:30,050 --> 00:00:31,460 Let's go for the selection tool. 10 00:00:31,580 --> 00:00:37,880 I'm going to show you some the tricks here and how to navigate a file which has several Albats in this 11 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,260 case we have seven Albats. 12 00:00:39,890 --> 00:00:44,780 So you know very well that if you select an art board, for example, click over here and you press 13 00:00:44,780 --> 00:00:47,390 command or control and then press zero. 14 00:00:47,660 --> 00:00:48,230 Here you are. 15 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,940 It will fit the outboard on your screen. 16 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:57,590 Now if you want to see all the Albats or fit all the elbows on the screen, you press option, command 17 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,770 or art control and then zero. 18 00:01:01,890 --> 00:01:06,840 They are just over three feet, almost in window and fit all in window. 19 00:01:08,810 --> 00:01:15,290 So I'm going to select the blank one now and press command zero or control zero, and we have a blank 20 00:01:15,290 --> 00:01:15,590 page. 21 00:01:16,340 --> 00:01:18,710 Let's start with the pencil to the pencil tool. 22 00:01:18,750 --> 00:01:23,510 Just over here under the shepherd to the shepherd tool is not for you. 23 00:01:23,510 --> 00:01:28,880 If you are using a mouse and a desktop, it's for the guys using, you know, the iPad and stories like 24 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:29,180 this. 25 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:35,570 So I'm going to click and go for the pencil to the shortcut is an within pencil tool. 26 00:01:35,570 --> 00:01:38,280 You will find the small tool they work together. 27 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:44,750 I'm going to go for the answer to now before we start drawing, I want to do Double-Click on the pencil 28 00:01:44,750 --> 00:01:45,020 tool. 29 00:01:45,020 --> 00:01:50,390 I can hear you have the pencil two options and together we are going to reset it. 30 00:01:50,660 --> 00:01:53,510 So you and I were doing exactly the same thing I looked like. 31 00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:58,480 OK, so now to draw with a pencil toward you, simply click and drag and you draw. 32 00:01:58,730 --> 00:02:00,410 Simple, very nice. 33 00:02:00,410 --> 00:02:06,590 If you want to draw things like this, like grass, some kind of hair, whatever you like, it's possible 34 00:02:06,770 --> 00:02:10,370 to draw with the pencil tool, of course, if you go slowly. 35 00:02:11,930 --> 00:02:14,460 It's exactly the same as going fast. 36 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:20,150 OK, I went too fast, maybe in all the versions, going fast was better than going slowly, but now 37 00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:21,560 it's almost the same. 38 00:02:22,220 --> 00:02:25,580 So I'm going to undo and draw a simple path. 39 00:02:26,410 --> 00:02:28,660 So let's do something just like this. 40 00:02:30,070 --> 00:02:36,640 If I want to continue drawing, I can come nearer to the extremity anchor points, OK, like this one 41 00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:37,520 and this one. 42 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,420 Notice how the stories disappear. 43 00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:41,390 An oblique dash will appear. 44 00:02:41,410 --> 00:02:44,470 It means we are going to continue from this point. 45 00:02:44,470 --> 00:02:45,490 And a click and drag. 46 00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:46,450 And here you are. 47 00:02:46,450 --> 00:02:49,030 Its joint can do the same here. 48 00:02:49,420 --> 00:02:50,830 Come back and roll from here. 49 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:57,530 This is the way to draw, but now if you want to change what you have done, for example, here I have 50 00:02:57,530 --> 00:03:01,610 like a curved I don't like I want to cut it off and make a new curve. 51 00:03:02,060 --> 00:03:06,840 I come to where I want to start redrawing and not as the start is going to disappear. 52 00:03:06,860 --> 00:03:12,960 It means I'm pointing on the path I click and drag and make sure I join it to the other side. 53 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:13,700 Here you are. 54 00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:18,890 So you can practically, you know, adjust your path the way you would like. 55 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:24,280 Here it is, not very long strokes, OK, but short strokes will do very well. 56 00:03:24,590 --> 00:03:27,080 For example, we don't want this corner hard corner here. 57 00:03:27,290 --> 00:03:30,350 You can click and drag and make sure you join on the path. 58 00:03:30,350 --> 00:03:31,040 And here you are. 59 00:03:31,370 --> 00:03:32,870 You have adjusted the path. 60 00:03:33,110 --> 00:03:35,400 It's going to take some practice here, OK? 61 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,150 Nevertheless, when you're using a mouth, you can do some very nice drawings, by the way. 62 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,200 So this one I don't like. 63 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,200 I'm going to click here, OK, and just take it over here. 64 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,180 I made a nice curve somehow. 65 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,880 Some other things you can do, for example, you don't want this girl at all here, if you come to the 66 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:59,660 path here and you start drawing and you do not connected to the path again, notice whatever it was, 67 00:03:59,660 --> 00:04:01,660 the continuity of the path has been deleted. 68 00:04:01,850 --> 00:04:02,540 And here you are. 69 00:04:02,550 --> 00:04:03,470 You have a new path. 70 00:04:03,780 --> 00:04:08,870 For example, I want to continue from here and I want this path I've drawn on something like this. 71 00:04:08,990 --> 00:04:12,580 Here you are now and notice how the path is coming up. 72 00:04:12,950 --> 00:04:14,810 It is really a bit rough. 73 00:04:15,050 --> 00:04:18,500 Well, there is a better way to work if you want to. 74 00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:18,950 Of course. 75 00:04:19,460 --> 00:04:23,190 Let's double click on the pencil draw and here you have the pencil. 76 00:04:23,190 --> 00:04:24,050 Actual options. 77 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,610 There is the fidelity. 78 00:04:25,910 --> 00:04:27,260 You make it smooth. 79 00:04:27,260 --> 00:04:28,250 That's very smooth. 80 00:04:28,250 --> 00:04:29,960 You keep everything else. 81 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:30,590 And here you are. 82 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,270 So now when I start drawing, you notice that it is smoother. 83 00:04:35,420 --> 00:04:37,550 OK, I hope you notice a smoother. 84 00:04:38,710 --> 00:04:44,060 So it will be quite smooth when you are drunk with the highest fidelity, which is quite good. 85 00:04:44,590 --> 00:04:46,900 For example, if I select all this. 86 00:04:47,870 --> 00:04:53,570 Now I use the pencil tool and try to draw a humble heart, something like this. 87 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:54,090 Here you are. 88 00:04:54,090 --> 00:04:54,340 You're not. 89 00:04:54,340 --> 00:04:55,570 This is quite smooth. 90 00:04:55,790 --> 00:04:57,460 I can add more inside. 91 00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:01,160 You notice when I draw a bath, it is selected. 92 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,160 And that is important because I can come back and. 93 00:05:05,220 --> 00:05:11,340 Change it again, OK, and change it again if it's not selected like this one, if I draw here, I have 94 00:05:11,340 --> 00:05:12,000 a new path. 95 00:05:12,510 --> 00:05:16,530 So this option is just over here, keep selected. 96 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,910 And I think it's important that you keep it selected now. 97 00:05:19,910 --> 00:05:22,050 How to smooth the path further. 98 00:05:22,590 --> 00:05:23,790 There is an option here. 99 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,310 Option Keith to smooth tool. 100 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:34,530 I'm going to click on it, but yet we are going to go to the smooth tool so the supposed tool will actually 101 00:05:34,530 --> 00:05:35,940 smooth on your path. 102 00:05:36,220 --> 00:05:42,180 OK, so short strokes will do very well here to smooth and certain anchor points, if you like. 103 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,780 Well, it's working pretty good, you're not. 104 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,090 Now, if I'm in the Pensa tool. 105 00:05:49,950 --> 00:05:55,860 And I'm drawing, for example, I want to move over here, I the option key that will be allowed on 106 00:05:55,860 --> 00:05:58,560 the PC and here you are, you can make it smoother. 107 00:05:59,430 --> 00:06:00,670 Pretty cool, right? 108 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,760 I mean, this pretty smooth already. 109 00:06:03,930 --> 00:06:10,860 Actually, this is a how to join a path, how to edit the path, OK, just like this, or how to draw 110 00:06:10,860 --> 00:06:11,580 a new path. 111 00:06:11,790 --> 00:06:12,220 OK. 112 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:12,930 Just like this. 113 00:06:12,930 --> 00:06:13,500 Very easy. 114 00:06:14,070 --> 00:06:16,550 Now, let's do some real application. 115 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:17,710 Very nice applications. 116 00:06:18,180 --> 00:06:21,900 The first one I want to show you is how to trace a face. 117 00:06:21,900 --> 00:06:23,910 You are we are going to trace this face. 118 00:06:24,330 --> 00:06:25,800 So nothing is the concept here. 119 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:31,980 If I want to do a face or create a face, I can really get a real face like this lady and trace her 120 00:06:31,980 --> 00:06:33,470 face and play with it. 121 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:39,250 Then I have an artwork, a vector graphic, which is pretty good if you want to do a banana created 122 00:06:39,250 --> 00:06:39,690 a banana. 123 00:06:39,930 --> 00:06:45,960 If you want to do an apple or a car, maybe get a car, put the picture there and trace it with the 124 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:51,390 pencil tool I would see on the next video and show you how to trace this lady, among other things.
