1
00:00:00.04 --> 00:00:01.04
- Alright, as you can see here,

2
00:00:01.04 --> 00:00:03.09
I've gone ahead and finished
off all my path outlines

3
00:00:03.09 --> 00:00:05.04
which is why in this movie,

4
00:00:05.04 --> 00:00:08.03
I'll show you how to assign
color to your pencil tool art

5
00:00:08.03 --> 00:00:10.09
with the help of the shape builder tool.

6
00:00:10.09 --> 00:00:12.04
So the first thing I'm going to do

7
00:00:12.04 --> 00:00:15.00
is create this lushly textured background.

8
00:00:15.00 --> 00:00:17.03
And that's actually
really easy to pull off.

9
00:00:17.03 --> 00:00:21.01
Just by zooming out like so
and then creating a new layer

10
00:00:21.01 --> 00:00:22.08
in front of the template layer

11
00:00:22.08 --> 00:00:24.03
by clicking on the template layer

12
00:00:24.03 --> 00:00:27.03
and then pressing the alt key
or the option key on the Mac,

13
00:00:27.03 --> 00:00:29.01
and clicking on the little page button

14
00:00:29.01 --> 00:00:30.05
at the bottom of the layers panel.

15
00:00:30.05 --> 00:00:33.05
And I'll just go ahead and
call this new layer background,

16
00:00:33.05 --> 00:00:35.03
and green is fine as the color

17
00:00:35.03 --> 00:00:37.00
so I'll just go ahead and click okay.

18
00:00:37.00 --> 00:00:39.09
Alright, now you want to
switch to the rectangle tool

19
00:00:39.09 --> 00:00:42.00
here in the shade tool flyout menu

20
00:00:42.00 --> 00:00:43.03
and then go ahead and drag

21
00:00:43.03 --> 00:00:45.06
from one corner of the bleed to the other.

22
00:00:45.06 --> 00:00:48.07
And the bleed, as you may
remember, is that red outline.

23
00:00:48.07 --> 00:00:50.08
And then go ahead and click
on the second color swatch

24
00:00:50.08 --> 00:00:52.08
up here in the control panel

25
00:00:52.08 --> 00:00:55.02
and change that stroke to none

26
00:00:55.02 --> 00:00:56.06
because we really don't need a stroke.

27
00:00:56.06 --> 00:00:58.00
And then click on the first swatch,

28
00:00:58.00 --> 00:00:59.04
which of course represents the fill

29
00:00:59.04 --> 00:01:02.00
and change it to this
medium shade of purple

30
00:01:02.00 --> 00:01:06.03
which is R147 G39 B143,

31
00:01:06.03 --> 00:01:08.04
and we end up with this color here

32
00:01:08.04 --> 00:01:10.07
Alright, now you want to
go up to the window menu,

33
00:01:10.07 --> 00:01:13.01
and choose the appearance
panel in order to bring it up

34
00:01:13.01 --> 00:01:15.00
over here on the right side of the screen.

35
00:01:15.00 --> 00:01:16.06
And what I'm looking for is

36
00:01:16.06 --> 00:01:19.05
a second fill to blend in
with the first one here.

37
00:01:19.05 --> 00:01:21.04
And so I'll click on the second icon

38
00:01:21.04 --> 00:01:23.09
in the bottom left corner
of the appearance panel

39
00:01:23.09 --> 00:01:26.08
to add a new fill and I'll go
ahead and click on it there

40
00:01:26.08 --> 00:01:28.06
to bring up a list of swatches.

41
00:01:28.06 --> 00:01:32.09
And notice this last free
swatch is a pattern called jive

42
00:01:32.09 --> 00:01:36.06
which is included by default
inside any basic RGB document.

43
00:01:36.06 --> 00:01:38.08
So I'll go ahead and select it like so

44
00:01:38.08 --> 00:01:40.07
and then I'll twirl this little fill open,

45
00:01:40.07 --> 00:01:42.06
I'll click on the word opacity,

46
00:01:42.06 --> 00:01:45.05
and I'll change the
opacity value to 50 percent

47
00:01:45.05 --> 00:01:48.02
and I'll press the enter key
or the return key on the Mac

48
00:01:48.02 --> 00:01:50.07
in order to create that
unusual background.

49
00:01:50.07 --> 00:01:53.00
Alright, now I'm going to
switch back to the layers panel

50
00:01:53.00 --> 00:01:55.08
and I'm going to click in
the lock column right here

51
00:01:55.08 --> 00:01:58.04
to lock that rectangle down
so that it doesn't interfere

52
00:01:58.04 --> 00:02:00.06
with otherwise coloring the artwork.

53
00:02:00.06 --> 00:02:02.04
Alright, now I'll go
ahead and zoom back in

54
00:02:02.04 --> 00:02:05.06
and what we want to do is
create a layer of fills

55
00:02:05.06 --> 00:02:09.08
based on our open and closed
path outlines right here.

56
00:02:09.08 --> 00:02:10.09
And so I'm going to go ahead

57
00:02:10.09 --> 00:02:12.03
and duplicate this drawing layer

58
00:02:12.03 --> 00:02:14.03
by clicking the flyout menu icon

59
00:02:14.03 --> 00:02:16.03
in the upper right corner
of the layers panel

60
00:02:16.03 --> 00:02:18.06
and choosing duplicate drawing.

61
00:02:18.06 --> 00:02:21.01
And now I'll go ahead and
drag the new layer down

62
00:02:21.01 --> 00:02:23.02
so that it appears below the drawing layer

63
00:02:23.02 --> 00:02:25.05
and I'll double-click on
an empty portion of it

64
00:02:25.05 --> 00:02:27.06
to bring up the layer options dialogue box

65
00:02:27.06 --> 00:02:30.00
and I'm just going to
call this layer fills

66
00:02:30.00 --> 00:02:32.05
and I'm going to change its color to gold.

67
00:02:32.05 --> 00:02:34.06
Alright, now I'll click
okay to accept that change.

68
00:02:34.06 --> 00:02:36.06
And I'll turn off the drawing layer

69
00:02:36.06 --> 00:02:40.01
so that we can focus exclusively
on this new fills layer.

70
00:02:40.01 --> 00:02:42.07
Alright, now we need to
get rid of a few shapes

71
00:02:42.07 --> 00:02:45.02
so press the v key in order to

72
00:02:45.02 --> 00:02:46.09
switch back to the black arrow

73
00:02:46.09 --> 00:02:49.01
and now you can just
sort of marquee around

74
00:02:49.01 --> 00:02:51.06
to select all of these lines for example.

75
00:02:51.06 --> 00:02:52.07
We don't need them.

76
00:02:52.07 --> 00:02:54.09
So I'll go ahead and select
them and delete them.

77
00:02:54.09 --> 00:02:57.09
And also get rid of this
path outline right there

78
00:02:57.09 --> 00:03:01.00
these two extra pathlines
inside the right foot

79
00:03:01.00 --> 00:03:03.08
and these two inside
the left foot as well.

80
00:03:03.08 --> 00:03:06.04
I don't think these things
are called feet, but still.

81
00:03:06.04 --> 00:03:10.00
Now I'll go ahead and marquee
these lines and delete them.

82
00:03:10.00 --> 00:03:12.01
And I want these lines gone as well.

83
00:03:12.01 --> 00:03:14.09
And now what you want to
do is zoom in on the head

84
00:03:14.09 --> 00:03:19.00
and marquee these lines right
there in order to select them.

85
00:03:19.00 --> 00:03:21.02
Do not select the mouth
and don't select the eyes.

86
00:03:21.02 --> 00:03:22.07
And then press the backspace key

87
00:03:22.07 --> 00:03:24.07
or the delete key on a
Mac to get rid of them.

88
00:03:24.07 --> 00:03:26.01
Alright, now I'm going to select

89
00:03:26.01 --> 00:03:27.08
the creature's carapace here.

90
00:03:27.08 --> 00:03:29.05
And I'll go up to the edit menu

91
00:03:29.05 --> 00:03:30.09
and choose the copy command.

92
00:03:30.09 --> 00:03:33.03
Or you can press control c here on a PC

93
00:03:33.03 --> 00:03:35.03
or command c on a Mac.

94
00:03:35.03 --> 00:03:37.02
Alright, we're done using the pencil tool

95
00:03:37.02 --> 00:03:39.08
so I'm going to go ahead and
close this floating toolbar.

96
00:03:39.08 --> 00:03:43.05
And also press control
a or command a on a Mac

97
00:03:43.05 --> 00:03:45.09
in order to select all the shapes like so

98
00:03:45.09 --> 00:03:48.01
and I'm going to change their fills

99
00:03:48.01 --> 00:03:49.06
by clicking on this first color swatch

100
00:03:49.06 --> 00:03:55.00
to this medium shade of green
which is R57 G181 and B74.

101
00:03:55.00 --> 00:03:57.06
And that will go ahead
and fill all the shades,

102
00:03:57.06 --> 00:03:58.08
and that gives us a sense

103
00:03:58.08 --> 00:04:00.08
for how things are going to come together.

104
00:04:00.08 --> 00:04:04.06
Alright, now I'll shift click
on both of the eye shapes

105
00:04:04.06 --> 00:04:07.00
right here in order to deselect them.

106
00:04:07.00 --> 00:04:09.08
And I'll go ahead and grab
my shape builder tool.

107
00:04:09.08 --> 00:04:11.01
And I want to change a setting here,

108
00:04:11.01 --> 00:04:12.05
I don't want to replace this color,

109
00:04:12.05 --> 00:04:15.01
so I'll just press the enter
key or the return key on a Mac

110
00:04:15.01 --> 00:04:17.04
to bring up the shape builder options.

111
00:04:17.04 --> 00:04:20.00
And I'll change this pick
color from setting to artwork

112
00:04:20.00 --> 00:04:22.05
and then I'll go ahead and click okay.

113
00:04:22.05 --> 00:04:24.04
Alright, now the easiest thing to do

114
00:04:24.04 --> 00:04:25.09
is to press the shift key

115
00:04:25.09 --> 00:04:29.05
and drag around all of
these shapes like so.

116
00:04:29.05 --> 00:04:31.08
Which in my case, produces
this effect right here.

117
00:04:31.08 --> 00:04:35.00
So again, we do not want those
eye shapes to be selected.

118
00:04:35.00 --> 00:04:37.06
Alright, now somehow we've got to fill in

119
00:04:37.06 --> 00:04:39.07
this little area here and the easiest way

120
00:04:39.07 --> 00:04:42.01
to do that is with an oval.

121
00:04:42.01 --> 00:04:44.03
And so I'm going to go ahead and switch

122
00:04:44.03 --> 00:04:46.09
from the rectangle tool
to the ellipse tool

123
00:04:46.09 --> 00:04:49.00
here inside the shape tool flyout menu.

124
00:04:49.00 --> 00:04:50.09
And I'm going to drag to create an oval

125
00:04:50.09 --> 00:04:52.05
that's about this big let's say.

126
00:04:52.05 --> 00:04:54.04
And then I'll switch back
to the black arrow tool

127
00:04:54.04 --> 00:04:56.05
which of course I can
get by pressing the v key

128
00:04:56.05 --> 00:04:58.06
and I'll go ahead and
drag this bottom point

129
00:04:58.06 --> 00:05:00.08
until it snaps into alignment right there.

130
00:05:00.08 --> 00:05:03.01
Alright, now I'll just go ahead

131
00:05:03.01 --> 00:05:04.02
and zoom out a little bit here

132
00:05:04.02 --> 00:05:07.02
and I will select these two
shapes by marqueeing them

133
00:05:07.02 --> 00:05:09.05
and then I'll switch back
to the shapebuilder tool

134
00:05:09.05 --> 00:05:13.01
and I'll just go ahead and drag
through all of them like so

135
00:05:13.01 --> 00:05:14.08
in order to finish off that effect.

136
00:05:14.08 --> 00:05:17.02
Alright now you want to switch
back to the black arrow tool

137
00:05:17.02 --> 00:05:18.09
and I'm going to press control zero

138
00:05:18.09 --> 00:05:20.09
or command zero on the Mac to zoom out.

139
00:05:20.09 --> 00:05:22.07
And I'll return to the edit menu

140
00:05:22.07 --> 00:05:24.02
and choose the paste in front command

141
00:05:24.02 --> 00:05:27.04
or you can press control
f or command f on a mac

142
00:05:27.04 --> 00:05:29.05
to bring back that shell.

143
00:05:29.05 --> 00:05:31.06
And now I'm going to change its color

144
00:05:31.06 --> 00:05:33.04
to this darker shade of green

145
00:05:33.04 --> 00:05:38.03
which is R0 G146 B69 in
order to produce this effect.

146
00:05:38.03 --> 00:05:41.04
Alright, now click on his
outer eye shape right there

147
00:05:41.04 --> 00:05:42.07
and I want it to be the same color.

148
00:05:42.07 --> 00:05:45.01
So I'll go ahead and switch it as well.

149
00:05:45.01 --> 00:05:46.09
So I'm changing the fill colors of course,

150
00:05:46.09 --> 00:05:48.09
and then I'll click on the inner eye shape

151
00:05:48.09 --> 00:05:50.04
right there if I can grab it.

152
00:05:50.04 --> 00:05:53.02
And I will change it to white.

153
00:05:53.02 --> 00:05:54.08
The fill, that is.

154
00:05:54.08 --> 00:05:56.05
Alright, now we don't
need any of these strokes,

155
00:05:56.05 --> 00:05:59.05
so go ahead and press control
a or command a on a Mac

156
00:05:59.05 --> 00:06:01.00
to select all of these shapes,

157
00:06:01.00 --> 00:06:02.05
and then click the second color swatch

158
00:06:02.05 --> 00:06:05.04
up here in the control
panel and change it to none

159
00:06:05.04 --> 00:06:07.05
in order to get rid off all those strokes.

160
00:06:07.05 --> 00:06:08.09
Alright, now let's bring it back

161
00:06:08.09 --> 00:06:10.09
in the form of the drawing layer

162
00:06:10.09 --> 00:06:13.06
which I will turn on here at
the top of the layers panel

163
00:06:13.06 --> 00:06:15.03
and then I'll go ahead and click off

164
00:06:15.03 --> 00:06:17.08
the path outlines to deselect everything.

165
00:06:17.08 --> 00:06:20.03
And that friends, is how you assign color

166
00:06:20.03 --> 00:06:23.04
to your pencil tool art in
part using the immense power

167
00:06:23.04 --> 00:06:27.04
of the shape builder tool
here inside Illustrator.
