Hello everyone.
Welcome back once again.
And right now we're going to learn about the use of Shape Builder tool in Adobe Illustrator.
So in last lesson we have used different type of shapes and we have created a wall clock.
But this time we are going to draw a simple pumpkin using the Shape Builder tool.
And one thing I can tell you, that Shape Builder tool is one of the most creative tools in Adobe Illustrator.
So let's start learning from the beginning.
So at first what we have to do, we have to take a preset.
And you can see in the last lesson we have used this for preset.
But this time I'm not going to use this one, I'm going to use this common preset this time.
So therefore I'm going to click this common preset.
And this is our files okay.
So before using the Shape Builder tool you need to know what is the use for Shape Builder tool.
Actually the Shape Builder tool is a great option when you need to delete edge of selected shape.
Okay, so let's start learning in practically.
So this is called the Shape Builder tool.
So for explaining the Shape Builder tool I want to draw three oval shape in here.
And you know how to draw the oval shape.
You have to use the Ellipse Tool.
And you will get the Ellipse Tool inside this rectangle tool.
So you have to right click with your mouse.
Then you will have this ellipse tool.
So let me use this ellipse tool and I'm going to draw a oval shape.
Okay, so I have created the oval shape and now I have to make twice.
And that's why you can use this copy and paste method.
Or as like before you can use this cloning method.
But this time I'm going to show you how you will use this copy and paste method.
So for copy and paste you just have to right click with your mouse and make sure that you have.
Using this selection tool you have to use the selection tool.
Right click with your mouse.
Here is the copy.
And in some empty spaces you can put your mouse cursor and you can click paste.
So I got one oval shape in here and I'm placing it left side.
Okay.
And again, I'm right clicking with my mouse in the empty space.
And again I'm going to click this paste option.
So here is an another.
So I'm going to place this oval shape in here.
And like here.
Okay, so you can see we got, uh, three oval shape.
And now what I have to do, I have to show you the use of the Shape Builder tool.
That's why what you have to do, you have to select this entire three oval shape.
And you can see after selecting this oval shape, we got some shapes like this.
Now I don't want to keep this entire shapes.
I want to delete this three part.
And I want to get some curves or some banana shapes I really need.
So that's why I will use this Shape builder tool.
So I'm going to use this Shape Builder tool.
And you can see once I click the Shape Builder tool a plus sign is added to my mouse cursor.
But that is basically using for adding some shapes.
But this time I'm not going to add any shapes.
This time I am going to remove or delete some shapes from here.
That's why you have to press alter button from your keyboard if you're using windows, and if you're
using Mac, you have to press option button from your keyboard.
So I'm pressing alter button from my keyboard.
Then you will be watching that, uh, the minus sign is appeared instead of plus sign.
But when you release the pressing of alter button again, it will turn into plus sign.
So we have to use this minus sign for removing this part.
Okay.
So I'm pressing alter button from my keyboard.
And I'm selecting and I'm connecting these two line.
Can you see the medals?
Oval shapes this removed.
And what do we got?
We got the two banana shaped slice.
And with this slice we are going to make it making a normal pumpkin okay.
So I'm going to use this selection tool.
And you can see it's already selected.
And now I am going to press this alter button from my keyboard.
And I'm going to copy in here again I'm going to.
Copying here.
And again I'm going to copy in here.
Cool, huh?
So it's look like a normal pumpkin.
So this is the main objective how the Shape Builder tool is working.
And with the use of some shape builder tools and with the use of some oval shapes, we have created
a normal pumpkin.
So this is how you will use the Shape Builder tools.
And in our next lesson we will use the Shape Builder tool once again.
But in that time we will create a logo and that's the logo called the impossible logo.
And our next lesson is going to be more interested.
So I'm expecting you to have you in my next lesson.
Till then Tata.
