1
00:00:00.05 --> 00:00:01.04
- In this movie, we're going to

2
00:00:01.04 --> 00:00:02.08
draw the sides of these blocks

3
00:00:02.08 --> 00:00:04.03
of hot-metal lead, and they're

4
00:00:04.03 --> 00:00:06.06
essentially perspective rectangles.

5
00:00:06.06 --> 00:00:09.01
I'm not going to get into
drawing these ledges.

6
00:00:09.01 --> 00:00:10.09
You can if you want of course,

7
00:00:10.09 --> 00:00:13.06
but frankly this project
is complicated enough.

8
00:00:13.06 --> 00:00:16.01
So I'm going to go ahead and zoom in

9
00:00:16.01 --> 00:00:18.00
on this edge right here, which is

10
00:00:18.00 --> 00:00:19.06
the one that's second to left,

11
00:00:19.06 --> 00:00:21.09
and I'll once again grab my pen tool,

12
00:00:21.09 --> 00:00:24.02
and I will make sure, before I start,

13
00:00:24.02 --> 00:00:26.09
that my fill is set to none, so

14
00:00:26.09 --> 00:00:28.06
that I can see my template, and then

15
00:00:28.06 --> 00:00:30.06
I'll go ahead and click
at this point right there,

16
00:00:30.06 --> 00:00:33.04
I'll click down here.
I'll shift click over

17
00:00:33.04 --> 00:00:36.06
at this location, and
I'll click back up here,

18
00:00:36.06 --> 00:00:39.00
and then finally I'll
click on the first point.

19
00:00:39.00 --> 00:00:40.00
You want to make sure to do that.

20
00:00:40.00 --> 00:00:41.06
It's easy to forget that step.

21
00:00:41.06 --> 00:00:42.08
And make sure that you're seeing

22
00:00:42.08 --> 00:00:44.08
a circle next to your cursor.

23
00:00:44.08 --> 00:00:45.08
All right, now I'm going to zoom

24
00:00:45.08 --> 00:00:47.06
way in on this right edge, and I'll press

25
00:00:47.06 --> 00:00:49.09
the a key to switch to my wide-arrow tool,

26
00:00:49.09 --> 00:00:51.09
and I might select that
anchor point right there

27
00:00:51.09 --> 00:00:53.08
and just nudge it a little bit

28
00:00:53.08 --> 00:00:55.08
by pressing the left-arrow key a few times

29
00:00:55.08 --> 00:00:58.07
and recall that we've reduced
the keyboard increment

30
00:00:58.07 --> 00:01:01.09
to 0.1 point, so we have a ton of control.

31
00:01:01.09 --> 00:01:04.04
All right, now I'm going to marquee

32
00:01:04.04 --> 00:01:05.03
this left edge, and I'm going to

33
00:01:05.03 --> 00:01:06.08
press Ctrl + C, or Cmd + C on a Mac,

34
00:01:06.08 --> 00:01:10.03
followed by Ctrl + F, or Cmd + F on a Mac,

35
00:01:10.03 --> 00:01:12.02
in order to paste that guy in front,

36
00:01:12.02 --> 00:01:13.09
and the idea is that this next path

37
00:01:13.09 --> 00:01:16.08
is so very, very skinny that I want

38
00:01:16.08 --> 00:01:19.04
to make sure that the
two edges are parallel,

39
00:01:19.04 --> 00:01:22.02
and so I'm now going to
drag this guy up here

40
00:01:22.02 --> 00:01:23.09
so that he snaps into alignment,

41
00:01:23.09 --> 00:01:26.09
and I'll press the alt key,
or the option key on a Mac

42
00:01:26.09 --> 00:01:29.00
in order to create a
copy, and now I'll press

43
00:01:29.00 --> 00:01:32.03
the p key in order to
switch to my pen tool.

44
00:01:32.03 --> 00:01:34.01
I'll click on the top anchor point

45
00:01:34.01 --> 00:01:36.00
in order to activate that path outline,

46
00:01:36.00 --> 00:01:37.04
and then I'll click on this one

47
00:01:37.04 --> 00:01:39.03
in order to connect these two segments,

48
00:01:39.03 --> 00:01:41.02
and now I'll do the same down here.

49
00:01:41.02 --> 00:01:43.03
I'll click and click again on each of

50
00:01:43.03 --> 00:01:45.07
the end points in order to connect them.

51
00:01:45.07 --> 00:01:46.07
All right, now I'm going to press

52
00:01:46.07 --> 00:01:49.01
Ctrl + Shift + A, or Cmd
+ Shift + A on a Mac,

53
00:01:49.01 --> 00:01:50.07
in order to deselect that path

54
00:01:50.07 --> 00:01:54.03
so that I can click here
and shift click right there,

55
00:01:54.03 --> 00:01:57.00
and this is the bottom of the s I believe,

56
00:01:57.00 --> 00:01:59.07
so we're going to shift click
up to this anchor point,

57
00:01:59.07 --> 00:02:02.02
shift click over to
this one, and then click

58
00:02:02.02 --> 00:02:05.03
down here at the bottom in
order to close that shape.

59
00:02:05.03 --> 00:02:06.08
All right, now press Ctrl + Shift + A,

60
00:02:06.08 --> 00:02:09.03
or Cmd + Shift + A again,
and I'll just click

61
00:02:09.03 --> 00:02:12.00
around these guys, click here, click here,

62
00:02:12.00 --> 00:02:14.03
shift click down here, shift click

63
00:02:14.03 --> 00:02:16.04
at this location, and click up

64
00:02:16.04 --> 00:02:18.01
in order to finish off that shape.

65
00:02:18.01 --> 00:02:19.02
And I should say I haven't done

66
00:02:19.02 --> 00:02:20.06
a terribly good job of following

67
00:02:20.06 --> 00:02:24.00
the bottom edge of this block right here

68
00:02:24.00 --> 00:02:25.06
inside the template, but according

69
00:02:25.06 --> 00:02:26.09
to the rules of perspective,

70
00:02:26.09 --> 00:02:29.02
there's no way I can
bring this one edge down.

71
00:02:29.02 --> 00:02:31.02
It has to be smaller than the front edge,

72
00:02:31.02 --> 00:02:32.08
and right now it's the same size,

73
00:02:32.08 --> 00:02:34.06
so I'm just going to fudge a little bit.

74
00:02:34.06 --> 00:02:35.06
Doesn't really matter.

75
00:02:35.06 --> 00:02:36.09
Now I'll press Ctrl + Shift + A,

76
00:02:36.09 --> 00:02:40.02
or Cmd + Shift + A in order
to deselect the art work.

77
00:02:40.02 --> 00:02:42.09
I'll click right there,
shift click way down here,

78
00:02:42.09 --> 00:02:45.04
shift click over at this location,

79
00:02:45.04 --> 00:02:47.01
and then click up in this corner.

80
00:02:47.01 --> 00:02:48.03
You don't need to press the shift key,

81
00:02:48.03 --> 00:02:51.04
and then click over on this anchor point

82
00:02:51.04 --> 00:02:54.01
in order to finish off that path outline.

83
00:02:54.01 --> 00:02:56.00
All right, now I'm going to
zoom out a little bit here,

84
00:02:56.00 --> 00:02:57.07
and it looks like the background

85
00:02:57.07 --> 00:02:59.00
changed colors on us.

86
00:02:59.00 --> 00:03:00.07
You sometimes see that
kind of stuff happen

87
00:03:00.07 --> 00:03:03.00
when you're previewing to the GPU.

88
00:03:03.00 --> 00:03:04.08
If that bothers you, you can go

89
00:03:04.08 --> 00:03:06.04
to the view menu and choose preview

90
00:03:06.04 --> 00:03:08.08
on CPU instead, and that will restore

91
00:03:08.08 --> 00:03:10.09
the proper colors.

92
00:03:10.09 --> 00:03:11.08
All right, I'm going to click right there

93
00:03:11.08 --> 00:03:13.08
at that corner, and then
click at this corner

94
00:03:13.08 --> 00:03:15.08
in the template, and shift click

95
00:03:15.08 --> 00:03:18.05
right about there, and I'm too far in.

96
00:03:18.05 --> 00:03:19.09
I just know I am, but I'm not worried

97
00:03:19.09 --> 00:03:20.08
about it right now.

98
00:03:20.08 --> 00:03:22.09
I'll click up at this anchor point,

99
00:03:22.09 --> 00:03:25.06
and then I'll click at the
very first anchor point

100
00:03:25.06 --> 00:03:27.09
to close off the shape, and I'll press

101
00:03:27.09 --> 00:03:29.07
the control key or the
command key on a Mac

102
00:03:29.07 --> 00:03:31.07
to temporarily get my wide-arrow tool,

103
00:03:31.07 --> 00:03:32.08
which is the last one I used.

104
00:03:32.08 --> 00:03:34.04
I'll click on this anchor point,

105
00:03:34.04 --> 00:03:36.08
and then I'll press shift
+ right arrow let's say

106
00:03:36.08 --> 00:03:38.06
in order to move that anchor point

107
00:03:38.06 --> 00:03:41.00
more radically to the right until

108
00:03:41.00 --> 00:03:42.08
these two edges are parallel,

109
00:03:42.08 --> 00:03:44.00
and I don't need to do that because

110
00:03:44.00 --> 00:03:45.04
this edge is going to get hidden,

111
00:03:45.04 --> 00:03:46.08
but we might as well make things

112
00:03:46.08 --> 00:03:48.02
as right as possible.

113
00:03:48.02 --> 00:03:49.04
All right, I'm going to go ahead

114
00:03:49.04 --> 00:03:51.02
and zoom out again and draw this

115
00:03:51.02 --> 00:03:54.01
very first edge that I had put off

116
00:03:54.01 --> 00:03:56.00
by clicking at this point right there,

117
00:03:56.00 --> 00:03:57.06
and then I'll click down here,

118
00:03:57.06 --> 00:03:59.07
and this time by starting at this location

119
00:03:59.07 --> 00:04:03.06
I can assure that I have a
more or less parallel edge,

120
00:04:03.06 --> 00:04:05.02
and now shift click right there,

121
00:04:05.02 --> 00:04:07.09
click up at this anchor point,

122
00:04:07.09 --> 00:04:09.06
and click at the very first one

123
00:04:09.06 --> 00:04:12.02
in order to close off that path outline.

124
00:04:12.02 --> 00:04:13.05
All right, now let's fill these paths

125
00:04:13.05 --> 00:04:15.02
by switching back to the black-arrow tool,

126
00:04:15.02 --> 00:04:17.07
clicking in this path outline for example,

127
00:04:17.07 --> 00:04:19.03
and I'm going to select this shade of grey

128
00:04:19.03 --> 00:04:21.06
that has all values set to 102,

129
00:04:21.06 --> 00:04:23.07
and then I'll click the next guy over

130
00:04:23.07 --> 00:04:25.08
as well as shift clicking on this

131
00:04:25.08 --> 00:04:27.04
little sliver of a path right there

132
00:04:27.04 --> 00:04:29.02
if I can get it, which I did. Awesome.

133
00:04:29.02 --> 00:04:31.01
And I'll change your
fills to the shade of grey

134
00:04:31.01 --> 00:04:33.03
where all values are set to 77,

135
00:04:33.03 --> 00:04:36.06
and you can see that we're
covering stuff up right here.

136
00:04:36.06 --> 00:04:38.00
This edge should not be covering up

137
00:04:38.00 --> 00:04:39.05
all these other details, so I'll

138
00:04:39.05 --> 00:04:41.03
select it and then right click on it

139
00:04:41.03 --> 00:04:43.03
and choose arrange, and then choose

140
00:04:43.03 --> 00:04:45.01
send to back to send it all the way

141
00:04:45.01 --> 00:04:46.04
to the back of the stack,

142
00:04:46.04 --> 00:04:48.05
and now it's not covering up a darn thing.

143
00:04:48.05 --> 00:04:50.02
All right, now let's go ahead and

144
00:04:50.02 --> 00:04:52.05
select this guy, and set it to

145
00:04:52.05 --> 00:04:55.05
the shade of grey where
all values are 128,

146
00:04:55.05 --> 00:04:57.09
and I'll select its neighbor and set it

147
00:04:57.09 --> 00:05:01.05
to the next one over
where all values are 102,

148
00:05:01.05 --> 00:05:02.08
and then I'll select this guy,

149
00:05:02.08 --> 00:05:04.03
want to make him a little darker,

150
00:05:04.03 --> 00:05:06.00
and actually, turns out I missed

151
00:05:06.00 --> 00:05:07.03
I'm misreading my notes.

152
00:05:07.03 --> 00:05:08.03
This guy wants to be the grey with

153
00:05:08.03 --> 00:05:10.00
all values set to 102, and this one

154
00:05:10.00 --> 00:05:11.07
wants to be the next one darker

155
00:05:11.07 --> 00:05:14.01
where all the values are 77,

156
00:05:14.01 --> 00:05:15.03
and then finally I'll set this

157
00:05:15.03 --> 00:05:17.08
final shape to this
shade of grey right here

158
00:05:17.08 --> 00:05:21.09
the one where all values
are set to 77 once again,

159
00:05:21.09 --> 00:05:23.02
and then I'll make it nice and dark,

160
00:05:23.02 --> 00:05:25.00
and then as you can see it's in front

161
00:05:25.00 --> 00:05:26.02
of some shapes that it shouldn't

162
00:05:26.02 --> 00:05:27.04
be in front of, so I'll go ahead

163
00:05:27.04 --> 00:05:29.04
and right click, choose arrange,

164
00:05:29.04 --> 00:05:31.07
and then choose send to back, and then

165
00:05:31.07 --> 00:05:33.07
I'll click off the shape to deselect it,

166
00:05:33.07 --> 00:05:36.03
and I'll press Ctrl +
0, or Cmd + 0 on a Mac

167
00:05:36.03 --> 00:05:38.08
in order to center my view.

168
00:05:38.08 --> 00:05:39.08
All right, so that takes care of

169
00:05:39.08 --> 00:05:42.00
the perspective edges of those blocks.

170
00:05:42.00 --> 00:05:43.03
In the next move, we'll add these

171
00:05:43.03 --> 00:05:45.06
little distress marks, again, with

172
00:05:45.06 --> 00:05:47.06
the help of the pen tool.
