Hello everyone.
Welcome back once again.
And right now we're going to learn about the use of curvature tool.
And we're going to draw an Apple logo with this curvature tool.
So when you need to draw some curved shapes in Adobe Illustrator, in that case you have to use this
curvature tool.
So let's start learning about the use of curvature tool in Adobe Illustrator.
So I'm going to take this common preset for learning about the curvature tool.
And I'm going to use this common preset.
And here we go.
We got our files in here.
And you can see we have two similar tools.
And this is called the curvature tool.
And beside the curvature tool it's almost have the similar tool that's called the pen tool.
So pen tool and curvature tool.
They're kind of similar.
But there is um some major difference in between two of these tools.
But this time we are going to learn about the curvature tool.
So when you need to draw a curved shapes you have to use this curvature tool.
And the curvature tool is primarily used to make our path.
But it can also be used to create straight line.
If you double click with it.
And I'm going to show you how this thing is working okay.
So I'm going to use this curvature tool.
And let's uh draw some lines.
So I'm going to.
Click first here and you can see we got an anchor point.
And then again I'm going to draw an another anchor point in here.
And you can see we got a line okay.
And if you don't have the black lines in here in that case you have to you have to change the stroke
color.
You can use this stroke color as well as you can increase the point of strokes.
Right now I do have one point.
So if you don't have this stroke color and stroke point please increase the stroke point and please
enable some color okay okay.
Then after second line, if you need to draw in here you can draw the straight line.
But what you will do if you need some curved shapes.
So if you need the curved shapes you can see with the moving of your mouse, it's creating some curved
shapes.
Again I'm drawing here.
Okay, so you can see I have created some curve shapes using the curvature tool.
So I hope you got the idea how this curvature tool is working.
And for drawing any kind of curved path you have to use this curvature tool.
So let's start creating the Apple logo with the curvature tool.
So I'm going to delete this thing.
So how we will delete it.
You just have to select this selection tool.
Here is the selection option.
And I'm selecting this one.
And I'm pressing delete button from my keyboard.
So my previous curvature shape is just gone okay.
So for creating Apple logo we have to we have to add an image from our exercise file.
And I already given an exercise file.
You must have to download it from our project or resource section.
So I believe you already have the exercise file as well as the resource file.
So I'm opening the Apple logo from our exercise file.
And that's why you have to go for the file menu.
From there you have to go for the open option.
So let me click this open option.
Then a pop up will appear.
So you can see we have a file name logo Apple.
We have to open it.
So you just have to select it.
And then you have to click open from our resource file.
So you can see the Apple logo is opened but it's not opened in our previous tab.
It's opened in a new tab.
Okay.
So for placing this image to our A main tab, you need to know the difference between open and place
by using this open option.
That logo.
Apple.
This image opened in a new tab.
But we want to we want to work with this logo in our present tab.
That's why you have to use a different method.
I'm going to close this one.
And I don't want to save it.
And then for placing your image in your present document or in present file, you have to use the place
option.
And how you will do that.
You have to go for the file menu.
From there you will have this place option okay.
So I'm going to use this place option.
And from the exercise file I'm going to use this logo Apple image.
You just have to select it.
And then you have to click place.
So you can see it's appeared in here.
So you have to click once.
And now you can see this Apple logo this image placed properly in here.
So we got our expected image in our present file.
And no new tab is opened.
But you can see this image seems quite bigger than our frame size.
That's why we have to scale it properly.
So how you will scale it for scaling this Apple logo, you have to zoom in and zoom out first.
So for zoom out you have to go for the view menu.
From there you have to go for the zoom out option.
Or you can see it's have some keyboard shortcut.
If you were using windows, you have to press Ctrl and minus button for zoom out and Control Plus plus
button for zoom in.
So I'm going to use this zoom out option.
And now I'm going to use my keyboard shortcut for Zoom Out.
And you can see we got the anchor point for scaling.
So make sure that you have selected this um selection tool.
And now I am going to use that top corner anchor point.
Okay, cool.
And now I'm going to place it center of the frame.
Fine.
Huh?
So now I want to zoom in our image.
Okay, cool.
Right now I am going to use the curvature tool to draw this Apple logo.
And you know this is the curvature tool.
And I'm going to use this one.
So after.
So I'm clicking here.
And now I have to change the stroke color.
Because right now we don't have any stroke color.
And I want to use this black color.
And I can keep one point okay.
So now let's start creating this Apple logo.
So let me zoom in once again.
And I want to start from here.
Okay.
So I'm clicking my first anchor point in here.
Then I'm going to create my second anchor point in here.
And you can see we got a red uh sorry a black line.
And then I'm going to starting the drawing of curvature shapes and creating some small gaps.
While you will use the curvature tool, it's a good practice when you will try to take some, uh, long
gap anchor point.
In that case, you may not have the proper.
Shapes as like the similar or the with the original one.
Okay, so we got our first line and now we have to start with the second one.
But this time I don't want to keep continue with these things, because when I'm going to move my curvature
tool in here, you can see it's making a curved shape.
The curved shape was required for here but not for here okay.
This need an angle.
That's why I'm pressing skip button from my keyboard.
And you can see now the line is not connected with here.
So I am again I am zooming in.
Make sure that you pressed skip button.
And now I want to start it from here.
Okay.
Okay, now I want to I want to zoom out.
And now I can start creating my.
Rest part.
So you have to you have to take small gaps for having the anchor point.
So while you will have some corner port, you have to press the escape button.
Okay, so again I got the corner port and again I'm pressing scape button and I am zooming in.
And I'm pressing escape button.
And from here again, I'm taking.
Another line.
Okay.
Okay, you can see we have some issues in here, but we will fix it in later.
Let's draw the line first.
Okay, you can see we got a perfect line, but you can see we have some issues in here, so we need
to fix it.
So how we will fix it.
Let me zoom in this area and let me scroll down with my mouse.
So for fixing this issue you have to click with your mouse in the path and you have to you have to push.
You have to push.
You have to push in here.
You have to push in here as well as you have to push in here.
You just have to use this path with the anchor line.
And now you can see we got a perfect curve shape in here.
Okay.
Let me zoom out.
Okay.
So we got we got the nice apple shapes.
And now let's draw the lips.
And again I'm zooming in.
And now I'm going to start from here.
Okay, so here the corner port appears.
So you know what you have to do.
You have to press the escape button.
And again you have to start from here.
Let me zoom in.
I'm pressing escape button.
When I'm starting from here.
Look, you can see this curvature tool is properly working with the curves shapes.
Oops.
Uh, I need to undo these things because, you see, we have some glitch line in here.
And for undo, you know what you have to do?
Edit and undo option.
Okay?
Then you will have the last condition that you have created.
Okay.
So we have created the leafbird.
We have created the apple shapes.
Let me zoom out.
And I need to close the anchor point.
That's why I'm pressing escape button okay.
So now you can see I have used the selection tool and I want to move the apple from here.
And you can see we have successfully created almost similar Apple logo.
And this is what we were looking to create.
So we have successfully created the Apple logo with the curvature tool.
And I hope you got the idea how this curvature tool is using in Adobe Illustrator for making curves
shapes.
So I will request to you to do practice at least 2 to 3 times.
Then you will have more accuracy.
So do some practice.
And I'm going to see you in our next lesson for learning about the pen tools.
And we are going to draw a Nike logo in our Pen Tools lesson.
So see you then Tata.
