Adobe Illustrator Training - Class 4 - Pen Tool and Shape Builder Tool Urdu / Hindi Video Lecture | Adobe Illustrator: Mastering the Fundamentals - Design

Assalamualaikum, welcome to GFXMentor
I am your teacher Imran
this is our second class regarding pen tool and with pen tool
how we can trace , how to use layers
and what is shape builder tool ? we will see in details today
so come let's start
so first of all we need to take the image which we will trace
so i seleted
A logo
i selected this from Sportslogo.net
this logo is Memphis Grizzlies's logo
this is a basket ball team
and yeah it's quite simple
and it is very interesting also
it is very simple but it has some curves also
so Good practice will happen
so i will suggest you to practice on simple things
so you can learn it easily and
after that you can take it in advance level
so i am saving this image
so in illustrator if you want to place this image
so you need to do that
there are two ways
first is drag and then drop
how to drag and drop
see this
i am coming in my desktop and here is the file which i saved
i am bringing this
below in illustrator
and after coming here i am dropping this
this is one way and other method is
go to your file menu and place it
go in file menu and click in place menu
and browse window will open in front of you
from here select your logo
and place it
now In cc (new version of Ai)
you will get a image (logo here) attached with the cursor
or it will show the any image with the cursor which you want to place
but
in old version such as Cs6 it will put it directly on the
center of the screen
so i am clicking here
and
one thing which is most important i want to say that whenever you
will place any image then this image will have a link with it
that is by default and it's symbol is cross sign
it's means that image is not the part of this file
but
it is linked here
so embed it . what is meaning of embed ?
embed means it will make this a part of your file
so see here you will get embed option
or you can call it embed button
select this and
i am clicking on embed
now this is part of artboard and
we had placed this
ok here the panels given in the right side
so you can also put this in open way or
you can also use it individual way whenever you need this
this icon is know as layers
so for opening layers.. ok first i make you understand what is layers
layer is like you can say cake (in the middle of cake)
cake contains cream sponge, cream sponge
and cream sponge in stacking order
so these are layers and
which do not allow to combine things with the other things
in this same way in our illustrator , Photoshop and many in softwares
you will get this and it's benefit is that
we use layers on the top of each other
so it will not
merge with each others and we can edit anytime if we want to edit
so this layer is
if you see this layer panel
you will see a eye icon
if i will click on it , it will disappear
in equal to this
lock
if i will click on it then it will be locked and i will not able to work on it
it will also be better if you lock it
and you can take a other layer on top of it
and then start your tracing and i want to tell you one more way
so this artwork will disturb you
this is very simple solution , select this layer and see this small line button
which is known as
fly out button ok
click on this fly out button and
you will get a option (template ) and click on this template button
then this layer will automatically will be locked and
it's opacity will decrease itself
that is opacity will little bit down
so after making template this layer will change into lighter colour and
you can do your trace your work easily
by taking new layer
so it is visible to you and it will not disturb you
ok i am using my pen tool to start this
and see, this logo is symmetrically made
so if i make half and then copy it half
then also it will work but i think here little difference is given i mean in this position
let see what is going to be happen
so i am starting from here , you can start from any corner
i am starting from centre
so i can copy it half
so this is very simple work and you have to click
and
we need smooth curve here
and see here corner is coming
so i am clicking on this anchor point and
closing this handle
correct
so in the same way
i will draw the complete outline to trace this image if you think
some points are not correct so
i will suggest you to carry on
we will adjust it later
one more important thing here fill is on
which is not right
i will suggest you to off the fill and only stroke will be on
because if you will turn on your fill
then your artwork will hide behind this
ok i am changing it's colour
let's take red So
i am taking bright colour so that it will visible to us
i am clicking here
don't worry about this it will adjust later
so whenever you will make smooth curve then try
try to make your curve handle to align
with the coming new lines
see like i am doing this here
see
we traced half here
so now it will be better that you zoom it and
resolve all the issues related to curve
one more thing see here
you can manage it
by holding the lines also
it is not necessary that you have to manage it by curve handle only
you can hold it between the line
and drag it outside little bit
now it will more helpful
you can adjust it easily now
see in this place
here issue is big so
i am holding this line and taking inwards
so for this part
it will be better to adjust it by this handle
now i am making it little smaller
so our half work is completed
so i am taking copy of this half part
and after reflecting it, i will put here
i am doing right click , arrange
sorry transform ,reflect and
vertical and copy
i am putting this here
select this by your direct selection
then do average and join
so let me tell you the shortcut key of average and join .
By one short cut this both will be applicable to your artwork
yes you can do it by one step
control + alt + shift + j
ok
this will do your average and join in one step
again zoom this
control
alt
shift + j
see i said you earlier that
there is little bit difference here
so
instead of making complete
it will be better to make half then adjust it so it is more easy process
so our outline is traced now
so we have to make it's inside part
so generally i will make this blue part
that is light blue part
let's start with this part
that dark blue part
we will do it later
so
first of all take a new layer
or you can do it in this layer also but
lock this layer so
it will not get disturbed
one more thing i want to tell you that here the paths contained by one layer will be visible here in different forms
so i am locking this path
now i am making inside part
so if we will make in parts then also
there will be no problem
so i made half and
after that
i am going outside
don't worry
what i am doing will be easily understand by you
after some time, this is a interesting way
and we can automatically
bring this thing here in this part
so don't need to make this complete path
repeatedly which is outside
so we did this in this way
so let me fill this part
to make you easily understand this
so i selected my first path and then unlocked it and
then filled light blue colour over it
so i am hiding this for sometime
so for this dark part i am picking this colour
ok
so for picking colour i used eye dropper tool
what is the work of eye dropper tool ?
you can fill your object by picking colour from other object by this tool
if you want to fill your object
then select the object in which you want to colour
and then click on that object whose colour you want to pic
by this eye dropper tool
ok
if i will on this both layer
and i selected this both of them
see here the last path is visible to us
this is the same thing which is light blue outline
and you can easily remove the extra area
by shape builder tool
so what is the work of shape builder tool
let me make you understand about this
for example you have two objects here
ok select both of them
and by shape builder
you can join them
simply drag them and it will become a single path
just like this
i am just showing this by only stroke by making my fill off
and the second option is that you can cut whatever part you want
so i just take my shape builder and pressing alt
see now my shape builder is showing plus sign
if will press alt button then it will show minus button
so if i will press alt and then i will drag this
then this part will be cut by this tool
so we have to do exactly this work on our
logo
so i selected both of them
one more small shortcut i want to tell you that
by pressing control button you can go in selection tool
doesn't matter which tool you are using
now i had pressed control button and
then i select both of them
i am using shape builder and this is showing + sign and
if i will press alt then it will show minus sign
when i clicked here then it all will remove from here
so let's come here for further things
let us trace this blue part
let us start
hide this it will be no problem
i am starting from here
ok turn off your fill and on your stroke
so i am doing this part in the same way i did earlier
i am taking this outside
i am picking same colour on this also
in our layer i will we will on this blue object
we will select both of them
so with the shape builder
i am doing minus
so if will on this layer so we can that we had made this
so look it carefully
there is a gap between them
let us adjust it
i am selecting both of them
let see this joining with the gap or not
keep it little bit closer
i selected both of them
with the help of shape builder
i am joining this i mean i am merging this
in upper part also
i am using direct selection for making this points nearer to each other
by shape builder i am
merging both of them
this part and this part both are selected
ok
that's it
so our this things are completed
so question is how to make inside details?
i will make that inside parts seperately
i will make this light blue part and i will also make this, this and this part
and our logo will complete after that
so as quickly as possible
i am starting this
i have to adjust it's curve little bit
ok
for eye part
i am doing this from outside
and by shape builder we will adjust it
so i am taking a
copy of this eye
and i am relecting it
so let me show you all layers
if i will put my layer panels here
and show you how layers which i had used
then you will easily understand that how many layers i made for this logo
so if you see this
let me zoom in for you
i hided my template layer
so this is completed
i know this is a long task
there are aslo many ways to trace
this is a neat process , you know that where to put points
and you also know what are you doing ? everything
and
so you need to practice it
i know it is lengthy but it is interesting
you can easily trace and one question is why we are tracing ?
ok answer is see our original image
if i will hide this layer
if
if you will see this, see i am removing my template
let me zoom in for you
this is a raster image
if we will zoom it then it will look nice at a particular limit
otherwise it will look worst if you zoom it more than a particular limit
i mean it will pix elate if you zoom it little bit more
so if we get a logo
which we have to print in very long size
then we easily trace and
remake this and you know this is vector
you can make it large as much as you want
