Hello wonderful illustrator people in this tutorial we're going to learn how to make a line cut like
this.
It's super simple.
Let's get started.
All right to get started we need to draw the two sides of our pittel.
Now I've just made a green background and locked it.
Nothing fancy.
You can use any drawing tool you like I can use the Pinto with no fill and no stroke and was going to
like this one so simple was just so nice and look kind it.
And why erro just to make some slight adjustments.
Pins well again.
Now it can be one solid shape and needs to be two separate ones.
I'm going to kind of draw them separately here and not spin too long try to fix it up.
Now there's two things that make this.
Well two things can mess you up if you try to line these up now.
Make them perfect.
You can make them perfect like you.
Yeah.
You really want to when you start blending it does stuff.
So what we're going to do is match them up then pull them back from the I got my smartcards on so it's
sniffing.
It's not snapping at all.
But don't you know.
But he snapped with his buddy Koch.
Don't worry too much about a stroke yet.
We're going to go and fix that.
But before you hit lane just move them apart.
Now we've done plaining quite a few times in this course.
Let's just use the shortcut command option the control alt be OK and now we can play in.
Now we can move them back together so we can make together double click the outside to go inside the
blind.
And now I can grab one of these guys and just kind of line them back up.
And let's go back out smash that area until it comes back out and with it selected double click you're
bleeding to increase your steps.
Now it'll depend on the size of yours.
OK.
Eight practice kind of I remember which I picked held for the moment.
Maybe let's come back to that because what we want to do is you could leave it like straight lines like
that.
That's cool.
And we are going to go to stroke and play around with the profile and just pick this first option here
then increase the weight of the stroke until we get something we kind of like kind of like in there
but I probably need some more steps which go into steps real quick.
OK so that's basically it.
You got two sides you just lines kind of connecting up and using blending now.
I'll show you that kind of a fake where they kind of you know it's more just kind of what other tools
you can use to make this kind of full petto like it was a more like a flower bud.
And I'll show you some of the pros and cons.
Now one of the things is if I start duplicating this and that kind of missing around with it it does
weird stuff with the Strokes.
You can fix it off so you do decide to kind of bend it round and these kind of in points that were good
go to stroke and just kind of turn this on and off again to kind of reset it which is one way.
Another way you might do is just to outline it.
OK so that's what I'm going to do because the next step requires me to do some some cutting of it to
outline it or to kind of expand that is the way that you normally do as you go to object expand right.
Don't do that when you go to blend and go to expand k.
Same sort of thing.
Know but now it's all those lines.
I'm going to I should have gone to transform Flik reflect and just kind of doing something else.
Am I doing here just pointing and you size.
Now what I'd like to do is I want I should have saved version of this.
I'm going to save a version of a version of the site.
OK.
So this guy here I want to get back to my shapes I could go inside and copy and paste it out.
I can just get a plane and say release release my lines.
Thank you.
OK.
And we're going to use one of these.
Actually I'll show you both actually.
I'll make it green so it makes it makes it obvious what I'm doing for this guy it's going to be like
a cutting path might make it a little bit bigger.
Bring it to the front.
Can you just so I can use that I can use that to slice the chunks of this.
OK.
We feel amazing.
Eric he's my keyboards.
Nice.
So I was going to grab both of these guys now and just move out because that's just how to work in there.
OK.
Now we need to legalize gay.
The best way is the shape to hold down the option key on a Mac or PC and just kind of drag across the
wall and then this guy hit delete.
And that's kind of it.
We're going to do that up it with you pots if you want to carry on you can.
Because that's that's kind of what I do to get this now that guy there probably needs the stroke wait
taken down so we can see a bit more of it Fossum now is either one of the top here I could use that
thing again or I could just draw one.
Let's try one.
So do you skip ahead now if you can.
Otherwise let's do this together.
I'm using my drawing tool.
Now what I'm going to do is make sure that overlaps.
So even though I've drawn those two little shapes I'm going to kind of have it so it doesn't.
So I can slice it off.
Now remember keep them separate.
OK.
And until you've done your blending.
Room the command option B or control option control O.P. and let's zoom back in.
It's going to wireframe mode which is command y control y on a PC and they're joined that would like
to go inside them and I can grab one and grip and just make sure that Tippee touch and come back out.
My click in the air a few times command or control Y and with them selected.
Let's add that stroke and this change that profile.
Happy enough with the size of the moment.
Let's increase the blending the leading to specific steps in order here going that way.
Know enough 20 as it mounts.
I actually have a law that says the amount is skin kind of like it maybe it's the right way.
That's not quite working.
Maybe stroke weight could increase it up again.
You don't increase it to begin with it's the enough down the bottom to slice off kill.
So now I'm going to grab the thing that I duplicated forgot to keep a copy of
East End release.
Are these my people.
All right Michael
the side here as well.
And grab that.
And I just want you my friend you piece a little bigger if you just use the same size it doesn't need
to follow the curve as you'd hoped.
OK that was probably just a little big.
That's my plan.
You know exactly we're going to do now.
That's exactly what we did a second ago.
And this guy he needs to be expanded because I can't use the shipbuilder told to delete it because it's
still in the mode.
So I just grabbed this object and release.
No what I want is to expand.
All right.
It's these ones.
I'm using my shaper to show cover that is command in control I'm on a PC I'm just leaving so I don't
need command like error.
You guys are gone revert the crowning glory.
Awesome.
CONAN And that is how to do a kind of a line effect in Adobe Illustrator.
All right let's get on to the next video.
Hold up.
One last thing.
Dropshot as you may or may not like two options and select them all.
I'm not sure why I've paused the video to come back and show you Jobcentres But here we go.
I like little ones little baby ones makes it more.
Maybe from a distance.
More Lonoke Heidi.
All right.
Now you can skip onto the next video.
All right.
See you then.
