Hello everyone.
Welcome back once again.
And right now we're going to learn how you will draw a tree using pencil tool and how you will apply
the stroke on it.
So this is the topic of our learning lesson.
So let's start from the beginning okay.
So for learning about the use of pencil tool we have to use a preset.
And this time I'm going to use this A4 preset.
And you can see this is our A4 preset.
And at first what we have to do we have to draw a tree first.
Then we will apply different type of stroke on it.
So therefore we have to use the pencil tool.
So where we will get the pencil tool we will have this pencil tool inside the shape tool.
So where is the shape tool.
If you place the mouse cursor in here under the rectangle tool you can see this is called the shape
tool.
And if you right click with your mouse then you will have this pencil tool okay.
And the shortcut key for using pencil tool is N okay.
So I'm going to use this pencil tool.
And this pencil tool is basically working as like the real pencil.
So when you will use the real pencil on the real paper how this thing is working.
The same things is working in Adobe Illustrator with the pencil tool.
Okay.
So let's start drawing a tree.
So what I have to do I have to draw the leaf first.
And that's why I'm drawing this line.
And again I'm creating another.
And I'm not going to add this two line here.
I want to keep an empty spaces.
So another one I want to draw in here.
Okay.
Cool, huh?
You don't need to make the perfect shape.
Just do what you can.
Because after applying the strokes, we will make it more attractive.
Okay.
Make sure that none of the lines are connected with each others.
You must have to keep some spaces.
Okay.
This is a simple tree and we draw this tree with the using of pencil tool.
Right now we're going to learn about the use of strokes.
And we will we will also use some reforms to provide the different type of strokes.
So you know how you will apply the strokes for applying the strokes.
You have to use this selection tool first.
And you have to make sure that all the lines are selected.
So I'm going to select this all entire lines.
And now I will increase the stroke.
So you can see this is the option for stroke.
And we used before but we didn't apply the uniform.
This is what we are going to do right now okay.
So I'm increasing the stroke.
And you can see.
So you can see I have increased the stroke for these trees.
Okay.
So we used 11 point.
I want to increase a little more.
I want to go for 1314 points.
Then it will be easier to understand for you how this uniform is working.
And right now I am going to modify this strokes.
And I'm going to apply the uniform on this stroke.
So how you will do that.
It's very easy.
You can see we have an option in here and it's called the uniform.
So if you click in this dropdown arrow then you will have different type of uniforms.
So if you need any type of uniform that's available in here and these are the called different type
of profile.
So what uniform you will select it from here it will be applied to your main selection objects okay.
So I'm going to use this first one.
And you can see it's have the angle or corner in two ways in two sides okay.
So this same thing is applied in here.
We got the corner in here we got the corner in here.
And this enter this enter profile is applied to our trees.
If you need to apply different type of shapes or different type of strokes you just have to use this
one and you can use this uniform.
And now this tree looks like here okay let me select another.
This is another profile and you can see the changes.
Let me try with some more.
Let me use this one.
And here is the changes.
Let me use this one.
Here is the changes.
Let me use this one.
And here is the changes okay.
So depend on your need on your preference that's required for you.
You can change any uniform or you can use any profile from this uniform option.
And this is how this uniform is applying on the pencil tool for drawing the trees.
So this is what we just learned in here.
So I hope you learned how you will use uniform in Adobe Illustrator.
So I'm going to see you in our next lesson.
