1

00:00:00.04 --> 00:00:02.02

- [Voiceover] In this movie,

we're going to use the



2

00:00:02.02 --> 00:00:03.09

eyebrows to cut into the eyes.



3

00:00:03.09 --> 00:00:07.03

Which is a great use for the

Divide Pathfinder Operation.



4

00:00:07.03 --> 00:00:08.05

And we're also going to create



5

00:00:08.05 --> 00:00:11.00

these variable width gradient strokes.



6

00:00:11.00 --> 00:00:12.05

Alright, so I'll go ahead and switch over



7

00:00:12.05 --> 00:00:13.09

to the document at hand.



8

00:00:13.09 --> 00:00:15.07

And I'll select each

one of the eyebrow paths



9

00:00:15.07 --> 00:00:17.08

with the black-arrow

tool, and then I'll press



10

00:00:17.08 --> 00:00:20.08

Control C, or Command C

on a Mac, to copy them



11

00:00:20.08 --> 00:00:23.06

because in just a moment,

we're going to lose them.



12

00:00:23.06 --> 00:00:25.01

Alright, now I'll click off the paths



13

00:00:25.01 --> 00:00:29.00

and then I'll select this

guy along with the right eye.



14

00:00:29.00 --> 00:00:32.02

And I'll go up to the Window

Menu, and choose Pathfinder



15

00:00:32.02 --> 00:00:34.02

to bring up the Pathfinder Panel.



16

00:00:34.02 --> 00:00:37.01

And then I'll click on the

first icon in the second row



17

00:00:37.01 --> 00:00:39.06

to apply the Divide Pathfinder Operation,



18

00:00:39.06 --> 00:00:42.01

at which point we end up

with this effect here.



19

00:00:42.01 --> 00:00:44.01

Now select this eyebrow, the left one



20

00:00:44.01 --> 00:00:47.05

as well as the left eye,

and repeat that operation



21

00:00:47.05 --> 00:00:49.06

by once again clicking on that icon.



22

00:00:49.06 --> 00:00:52.03

Or by pressing the keyboard

shortcut of Control 4



23

00:00:52.03 --> 00:00:55.05

here on the PC, or Command 4 on the Mac,



24

00:00:55.05 --> 00:00:57.07

at which point I'll go ahead

and hide the Pathfinder Panel,



25

00:00:57.07 --> 00:00:59.08

then I'll shift-click on the right eye



26

00:00:59.08 --> 00:01:01.05

in order to select it.



27

00:01:01.05 --> 00:01:02.09

We've got two groups.



28

00:01:02.09 --> 00:01:06.04

So, go up to the Object Menu

and choose the Ungroup Command,



29

00:01:06.04 --> 00:01:09.00

or press Control Shift G,

or Command Shift G on a Mac,



30

00:01:09.00 --> 00:01:12.09

then shift-click on each one

of the eyes to deselect them.



31

00:01:12.09 --> 00:01:16.02

And press the backspace key,

or the delete key on a Mac,



32

00:01:16.02 --> 00:01:19.02

in order to get rid of

those little bits up above.



33

00:01:19.02 --> 00:01:21.05

Alright, now I'm going to

select both the eyes once again



34

00:01:21.05 --> 00:01:23.07

by clicking on one and

shift-clicking on the other.



35

00:01:23.07 --> 00:01:26.05

And then I'm going to scoot

this stroke down a little bit



36

00:01:26.05 --> 00:01:28.09

by clicking on the

Transform Effect associated



37

00:01:28.09 --> 00:01:31.04

with the stroke here inside

the Appearance Panel,



38

00:01:31.04 --> 00:01:33.03

which will bring up the

Transform Dialogue Box.



39

00:01:33.03 --> 00:01:36.01

And then turn on the Preview

check-box, if you like,



40

00:01:36.01 --> 00:01:38.08

and click inside the

Vertical Value and press the



41

00:01:38.08 --> 00:01:41.06

up-arrow key to increase

the value to 2 points.



42

00:01:41.06 --> 00:01:42.07

That's all we need.



43

00:01:42.07 --> 00:01:46.03

And then click OK in order

to accept that change.



44

00:01:46.03 --> 00:01:48.05

Alright now, let's pace back

in those eyebrows by pressing



45

00:01:48.05 --> 00:01:51.03

Control F, or Command F on a Mac.



46

00:01:51.03 --> 00:01:54.01

And I'm going to take the Line

Wave Value up to 4 points.



47

00:01:54.01 --> 00:01:56.02

And I'll click on the word Stroke and



48

00:01:56.02 --> 00:02:00.04

change the Caps to Round Caps,

to round off the endpoints.



49

00:02:00.04 --> 00:02:02.05

And then, let's go ahead

and assign a gradient



50

00:02:02.05 --> 00:02:04.03

to these strokes, by first making sure



51

00:02:04.03 --> 00:02:07.01

that the stroke is active here

inside the gradient panel.



52

00:02:07.01 --> 00:02:10.03

And then, let's apply something

simple like White, Black



53

00:02:10.03 --> 00:02:12.01

just so we don't have too many color stops



54

00:02:12.01 --> 00:02:13.07

that we're going to have to delete later.



55

00:02:13.07 --> 00:02:16.06

And then, go ahead and

grab the color Brown, 1



56

00:02:16.06 --> 00:02:19.00

and drag it and drop

it onto the color ramp.



57

00:02:19.00 --> 00:02:21.01

And for some reason, it

comes in transparent,



58

00:02:21.01 --> 00:02:23.07

so I'll change its opacity value to 100%,



59

00:02:23.07 --> 00:02:26.08

and I'll take the

location value up to 33%,



60

00:02:26.08 --> 00:02:29.02

and I'll get rid of that white color stop.



61

00:02:29.02 --> 00:02:31.06

And then, I'll grab Brown, 3



62

00:02:31.06 --> 00:02:33.09

and drag it and drop it onto the ramp.



63

00:02:33.09 --> 00:02:36.09

And I'll change it's

location value to 70%,



64

00:02:36.09 --> 00:02:39.04

and then I'll get rid of

this black color stop.



65

00:02:39.04 --> 00:02:43.05

And I'll alt-drag, or

option-drag, that first color stop



66

00:02:43.05 --> 00:02:46.05

all the way over to the

left-hand side of the gradient



67

00:02:46.05 --> 00:02:48.06

in order to produce this effect here.



68

00:02:48.06 --> 00:02:50.03

And we want the strokes

to run along the length



69

00:02:50.03 --> 00:02:51.07

of their path outlines.



70

00:02:51.07 --> 00:02:54.01

So, go ahead and click on the second icon



71

00:02:54.01 --> 00:02:56.04

next to the word Stroke right there.



72

00:02:56.04 --> 00:02:58.07

Now, the impact of that

modification might not be



73

00:02:58.07 --> 00:03:01.03

immediately obvious

because these strokes are



74

00:03:01.03 --> 00:03:02.08

still fairly thin.



75

00:03:02.08 --> 00:03:05.02

And so what I'm going to do

is select the Width Tool,



76

00:03:05.02 --> 00:03:07.09

which you can get by pressing

Shift W; it's located



77

00:03:07.09 --> 00:03:11.01

directly below the Scale

Tool, as you may recall.



78

00:03:11.01 --> 00:03:14.01

And I'm going to double-click

at this location right here



79

00:03:14.01 --> 00:03:17.01

in order to bring up the

Width Point Edit Dialogue Box.



80

00:03:17.01 --> 00:03:19.07

And I'm going to change the

Total Width Value to 12,



81

00:03:19.07 --> 00:03:20.09

and click OK.



82

00:03:20.09 --> 00:03:23.03

And I want that width to

continue to about here.



83

00:03:23.03 --> 00:03:25.07

So, I'll go ahead and double-click

on this point in the path



84

00:03:25.07 --> 00:03:28.04

and change the Total

Width Value to 12 points



85

00:03:28.04 --> 00:03:29.04

once again.



86

00:03:29.04 --> 00:03:30.05

And click OK.



87

00:03:30.05 --> 00:03:32.08

And now you can see how

the gradient is dark



88

00:03:32.08 --> 00:03:36.01

at the beginning, it turns

bright right there on the arc,



89

00:03:36.01 --> 00:03:38.02

and it becomes dark once again.



90

00:03:38.02 --> 00:03:39.08

And that's a function of the arrangement



91

00:03:39.08 --> 00:03:44.04

of these color stops set to

apply gradient along stroke.



92

00:03:44.04 --> 00:03:46.07

Alright, we want to make some

changes to this guy as well.



93

00:03:46.07 --> 00:03:49.04

So, I'll double-click

at about this location



94

00:03:49.04 --> 00:03:50.09

to bring up the dialogue box



95

00:03:50.09 --> 00:03:53.03

and I'll change the Total

Width Value to 12 points



96

00:03:53.03 --> 00:03:54.03

once again.



97

00:03:54.03 --> 00:03:56.03

And then, I'll double-click

right about there



98

00:03:56.03 --> 00:03:59.05

at the end of the eye, and

change this Total Width Value



99

00:03:59.05 --> 00:04:01.05

to 12 points, and press the Enter key,



100

00:04:01.05 --> 00:04:03.00

or the Return key on a Mac.



101

00:04:03.00 --> 00:04:05.00

Alright, now we have a little

bit of a problem so I'm going



102

00:04:05.00 --> 00:04:08.03

to press the V key to switch

back to my black-arrow tool.



103

00:04:08.03 --> 00:04:11.02

I'll click off the path

outlines and you can see



104

00:04:11.02 --> 00:04:14.07

that while the bright point

is on the arc over here



105

00:04:14.07 --> 00:04:17.07

on the right-hand side,

it's down at the bottom



106

00:04:17.07 --> 00:04:20.00

of the eyebrow on the left-hand side.



107

00:04:20.00 --> 00:04:22.01

And to remedy that, to

put it up here on the arc,



108

00:04:22.01 --> 00:04:24.01

you want to click on

the line to select it.



109

00:04:24.01 --> 00:04:26.03

And then go over here

to the Gradient Panel



110

00:04:26.03 --> 00:04:28.08

and click on the Reverse Gradient icon



111

00:04:28.08 --> 00:04:31.06

in order to produce

this effect right here.



112

00:04:31.06 --> 00:04:33.06

Alright, now the final step

is to create some shade



113

00:04:33.06 --> 00:04:34.08

under these eyebrows.



114

00:04:34.08 --> 00:04:37.06

And so I'll go ahead and

shift-click on the right eyebrow.



115

00:04:37.06 --> 00:04:40.06

And then I'll up to the

Effect Menu, choose Stylize,



116

00:04:40.06 --> 00:04:42.05

and choose Drop Shadow.



117

00:04:42.05 --> 00:04:44.00

I'm happy with a Mode of Multiply



118

00:04:44.00 --> 00:04:46.05

and an Opacity Value of 100%.



119

00:04:46.05 --> 00:04:50.03

I've got an X-Offset of 0,

a Y-Offset of 6,



120

00:04:50.03 --> 00:04:53.03

and a Blur of 4, all of which is great.



121

00:04:53.03 --> 00:04:55.06

But I'm going to click

on the color swatch here,



122

00:04:55.06 --> 00:04:58.00

then I'll click on the

Color Swatches button,



123

00:04:58.00 --> 00:05:00.04

and scroll down the list to Brown, 5.



124

00:05:00.04 --> 00:05:02.09

And I'll select it, then click OK.



125

00:05:02.09 --> 00:05:03.09

And if you want to see

what that looks like,



126

00:05:03.09 --> 00:05:05.08

turn on the Preview check-box.



127

00:05:05.08 --> 00:05:07.05

And assuming that you're

happy with what you see,



128

00:05:07.05 --> 00:05:09.01

go ahead and click OK.



129

00:05:09.01 --> 00:05:11.06

And then I'll click off

the paths to deselect them.



130

00:05:11.06 --> 00:05:12.09

Alright, that takes care of our



131

00:05:12.09 --> 00:05:15.00

variable width gradient strokes,



132

00:05:15.00 --> 00:05:17.07

something that wasn't even

an option a few years ago.



133

00:05:17.07 --> 00:05:20.05

What we still have left, the angry eyes



134

00:05:20.05 --> 00:05:23.01

with their white highlights,

which is why I'll show you how



135

00:05:23.01 --> 00:05:25.08

to create them in the next movie.
