Illustrator tools

I never expected Adobe Illustrator to be amazingly this creative. The versatility of all types of tools is brilliant. The text tools can be the easiest to use whereas, Perspective grid tool can be a little difficult. Navigating through the tools , Flare tool seemed to be the most mysterious tool. I just worry about memorizing all the tool names, their properties and the shortcuts. But, rightly said practice makes a man perfect. This can be a maestro behind creating smooth paths and shapes, whether you're sketching lines or a curvy masterpiece. 

The pen tool, looks easy to use but is complex when studied deeply. It's ability to draw both straight line and curves makes it indispensable for crafting designs. Alongside the Pen tool, it's companions- the Anchor Point Tool, Convert Anchor Point Tool, and Delete Anchor Point Tool- add depth to the creative toolkit. The interesting thing is together if all these tools are used effectively, they can sculpt detailed and seamless illustrations with precision. It's versatility can be seen when you can create smooth and organic shapes, but can also create sharp corners.

 

This tutorial shows multiple methods to draw a line in the illustrator. A line can be created using rectangle tool, the pen tool, or the line segment tool. You have to put special points(anchor points) in the right places and make the lines bend just how you want them. It's easy to define anchor points in this and control the direction of lines. Pen tool is like mastering a cool trick - challenging but totally worth once you get the hang of it!
