WEBVTT 00:00.820 --> 00:05.530 High that it is advanced pintu tips and tricks time in Illustrator. 00:05.550 --> 00:11.070 Now if you are a bit afraid of the Pinto's Still you might want to check out the essentials course goes 00:11.090 --> 00:15.730 through the pins on a lot more kind of I guess a bit more of a basic understanding. 00:15.730 --> 00:20.490 This one here is going to jump straight into the your ok user of pintu when you want to take it to the 00:20.490 --> 00:21.290 next level. 00:21.420 --> 00:22.560 So get a notepad out. 00:22.560 --> 00:28.380 There's a few little shortcuts and key combinations to make this work and go fast but yet get in there 00:28.380 --> 00:32.270 or redraw this little doll thing and make it look like this. 00:32.280 --> 00:33.370 All right let's get started. 00:33.480 --> 00:40.110 OK so advance pintu time let's bring in an image so file place and let's bring in from your exercise 00:40.110 --> 00:40.560 files. 00:40.560 --> 00:42.010 One called pintle. 00:42.140 --> 00:43.720 Are you pintu you out there. 00:43.800 --> 00:50.340 Make sure it's the templates click place so it's on its own land locked and next thing is under properties. 00:50.340 --> 00:53.320 Let's grab our Pinto from October OK. 00:53.340 --> 00:57.850 And make sure we've got a fill of none came and will have a stroke of black. 00:57.850 --> 00:58.620 That's fun. 00:58.650 --> 01:03.010 One of the first things you need to do when using the pintu is turn off the smart guides or command 01:03.040 --> 01:07.800 you turns it off otherwise it starts trying to snap to things and you lose your mojo. 01:07.800 --> 01:10.110 Now fast track is bit of curves right. 01:10.110 --> 01:12.330 Say I want to do this curfew bit on the bottom here. 01:12.330 --> 01:17.670 You might be at a habit or the way you were taught by clicking once for corner clicking and dragging 01:17.670 --> 01:20.040 for a curve and in a corner here. 01:20.040 --> 01:26.350 Now that is fine but often you can get nice curves by using handles added additives corner point swing 01:26.370 --> 01:30.030 and start by clicking and dragging out and I'm directing at a curve I'm dragging towards the line. 01:30.030 --> 01:33.750 I want to go and roughly about there and then wash this. 01:33.750 --> 01:39.930 I'm going to drag out k and I get the same line with less and good points and you'll find that if you 01:39.930 --> 01:45.210 have just two anchor points using handles it'll just give you a nice smooth shape than you would get 01:45.450 --> 01:49.830 from doing you know two corners with a curve in the middle. 01:50.190 --> 01:53.980 And the trouble runs into if you want to change direction here because there's a corner right. 01:54.050 --> 01:55.790 We knew it was a corner when we drew it. 01:56.100 --> 01:58.970 So let brings me onto my next shortcut. 01:58.980 --> 02:03.330 If you've got a curve where you want it to be a corner you can just hold down the key on a Mac or the 02:03.360 --> 02:09.990 option key on a PC and you can see I've broken at there gay ending and I go up to here and I want it 02:09.990 --> 02:13.100 to be a king still song and a click and drag out. 02:13.360 --> 02:19.350 OK I can break it again later on remember by holding the key on a PC or the option key on a Mac and 02:19.350 --> 02:24.850 breaking it as I'm drawing rather than kind of during it out and then having to go back to the can and 02:24.900 --> 02:27.870 anchor point to law the white arrow case. 02:27.870 --> 02:29.680 Just a nice handy extra trick. 02:29.710 --> 02:30.720 So there's one way of doing it. 02:30.730 --> 02:35.880 Let's show you even better way and the way I normally draw is with the Pinto case adding in to click 02:35.910 --> 02:40.720 and drag out here to get this first curve click and drag out and instead of doing what we did before 02:40.720 --> 02:45.930 as draw and then kind of come back to it and break it using the option key or the key on a PC is you 02:45.930 --> 02:47.830 can actually do it here before you stop. 02:47.910 --> 02:52.530 But when you get a kind of roughly where you want it to just hold down the key on a PC and an option 02:52.540 --> 02:53.930 you want to make that same key. 02:54.160 --> 02:56.900 OK before you let go and it actually stamps it while you're going. 02:56.970 --> 02:58.770 OK so I'll often do this. 02:58.920 --> 03:02.900 And drag outs that say I want to keep these curves. 03:02.940 --> 03:06.670 I'm doing a real rough job to speed through it but I get to hear and I drag it out. 03:06.770 --> 03:11.220 Now I hold old and just bring it up this way because I know that's going to give me roughly where I 03:11.220 --> 03:12.480 want to go. 03:12.600 --> 03:14.850 K I'm going to get to this point. 03:15.120 --> 03:16.350 OK so I'll break it. 03:16.380 --> 03:21.560 Be get to this point and I know I need it to be really long to get that existing right. 03:21.660 --> 03:27.900 But I know that this topoint up here you can see like No-Man's kind of gone too far and you end up you'll 03:27.930 --> 03:29.680 have your methods to fix it up. 03:29.790 --> 03:32.730 What you can do is watch this while I'm dragging that one out. 03:32.880 --> 03:38.160 If you hold down the command key on a Mac while the control key on a PC you can it still keeps it like 03:38.160 --> 03:42.840 locked but it brings this handle in so that the extent is not as far. 03:42.990 --> 03:48.450 OK so while you're dragging you can kind of SHORTEN One of them by holding the Command key. 03:48.450 --> 03:52.680 I know these are all a little bit tough to remember but you've got your notepad next to you and you're 03:52.710 --> 03:57.480 going to just spind whenever you're doing Unix drawing just kind of like OK you might only use two or 03:57.480 --> 04:02.700 three of them but I find I use all of them and it just makes my pain tool experience a lot better. 04:02.800 --> 04:07.350 Another one we're going to do is say like I get along here and I start drawing and it's just not quite 04:07.350 --> 04:08.410 on the line right. 04:08.460 --> 04:13.290 What I can do before I let go is this hold in the space by key and then when I moved my mouse it's moving 04:13.290 --> 04:14.610 the anchor point. 04:14.620 --> 04:16.620 So I can continue on to get it perfect. 04:16.920 --> 04:17.230 All right. 04:17.250 --> 04:18.890 That's going to be a first super shortcuts. 04:18.890 --> 04:22.530 What I'd like you to do for your project is to kind of finish off this drawing. 04:22.530 --> 04:26.520 You can use the pin tool or the curvature to get it which we learned in the previous video. 04:26.520 --> 04:27.620 It's up to you. 04:27.710 --> 04:28.550 Just get a rough drawing. 04:28.590 --> 04:33.540 Or if it's not perfect I'd like you to do it because we're going to use as an example letter on to kind 04:33.540 --> 04:37.300 of color it in you had a kind of color and a drawn Doring. 04:37.740 --> 04:42.890 So and one of the things that you might run into is like how do you want to complete this. 04:42.900 --> 04:46.000 Now you're going to get to like this point here and go OK. 04:46.020 --> 04:47.850 Do I go down here or up this way. 04:47.850 --> 04:51.180 OK so let's just turn it into a pile of pieces. 04:51.180 --> 04:55.620 What I mean by that is that I'm going to grab my black are going to take off in the background and I'm 04:55.620 --> 04:57.450 going to draw as a separate line. 04:57.450 --> 05:01.080 We will join them all up later on using some cool tool called the shape. 05:01.080 --> 05:01.910 Build it too. 05:02.070 --> 05:07.520 I'm going to click and drag down here and do I want it to join and probably do and. 05:07.670 --> 05:12.600 But you can see here I'm not worried that it doesn't Garonne completely Joines we're going to go through 05:12.630 --> 05:14.790 and connect these up a different way. 05:14.940 --> 05:18.680 So paintable that say this line here is this kind of hand. 05:18.730 --> 05:24.300 K all I'm going to do is click once and just click once there OK and that's going to be enough for what 05:24.300 --> 05:25.200 I need. 05:25.200 --> 05:29.300 I'm going to use the Pinto now k and I got a joke. 05:29.390 --> 05:35.110 A joke of have. 05:35.810 --> 05:40.400 What am I do is just kind of overlapped this a little bit because do I want to get them all perfect 05:40.400 --> 05:41.180 along there. 05:41.330 --> 05:42.970 It becomes too hard to draw that way. 05:43.100 --> 05:47.940 OK so we're going to overlap that and what I'll do is I'll draw that foot over the top and Will's trumped 05:47.960 --> 05:49.460 up using the shape building tool. 05:49.610 --> 05:51.770 So that's the kind of technique that I want you to use. 05:51.770 --> 05:55.410 Just make sure everything is doesn't have to overlap completely like this. 05:55.460 --> 05:57.220 It can be close like that. 05:57.230 --> 06:00.590 We'll show you later on this is a magic way of kind of joining those up. 06:00.620 --> 06:04.300 I'd like to go through draw all the lines that you can see here. 06:04.310 --> 06:09.290 Don't stress too much about kids but this might be a really good time to practice your super amazing 06:09.290 --> 06:12.260 fantastic new advanced pin tool tricks. 06:12.260 --> 06:12.420 All right. 06:12.420 --> 06:16.850 I'm back and I was just kind of drawing this and I thought actually there's probably more I can add 06:16.850 --> 06:21.980 to this video because one of the big problems is let's say we're using any of the tools came using the 06:21.980 --> 06:27.440 pintu is Vaj kind of say I want to click over here it's going to really want to join up to this tool 06:27.600 --> 06:31.540 OK or do up to the end of these lines like on stock connecting up. 06:31.580 --> 06:35.240 K The easiest way is so the covenantal is the word for it right. 06:35.240 --> 06:40.580 If I start down here and I put one there one there and I want to go to this. 06:40.700 --> 06:43.830 It really wants to kind of do stuff with us thing like oh what happened. 06:43.850 --> 06:45.240 We were just doing this line. 06:45.360 --> 06:48.330 OK the easiest way is just it goes zoom in real quick. 06:48.330 --> 06:51.550 OK so I click there and joined up. 06:51.580 --> 06:53.350 Look they are really exaggerated these lines. 06:53.350 --> 06:54.620 You can see they all overlap. 06:54.630 --> 06:56.970 We'll tidy that up in a future tutorial. 06:57.290 --> 07:01.400 But click once and where it gets and here really wants to join does zoom in. 07:01.480 --> 07:02.740 OK I'm using c'mon. 07:02.750 --> 07:08.770 Plus you might lose control plus and just click and he gives you I guess a bigger room to kind of you 07:09.000 --> 07:13.450 know kind of trying to guess these lines so I often do that zooming in just to kind of make sure it 07:13.450 --> 07:15.110 doesn't join up with the lines. 07:15.110 --> 07:19.850 Another thing that I kind of realized while I'm working is that to de-select you can go to the black 07:19.850 --> 07:21.520 area at the V key. 07:21.560 --> 07:26.050 I use the most is holding the command key down you can see get the black and click off in the background. 07:26.260 --> 07:27.940 So while I'm drawing. 07:28.430 --> 07:30.740 So let's say we can draw this line. 07:30.740 --> 07:36.920 So click once using the courage to take once I've got just a nice curve but it keeps on joinings all 07:36.920 --> 07:40.880 come on and just click off in the background so I can start again and again it's going to really want 07:40.880 --> 07:41.960 to join that line. 07:42.020 --> 07:48.330 So if I zoom right in holding spacebar to click and hold and drag this around who is going to stop you 07:48.350 --> 07:54.270 know kind of exaggerate this and am going to try and avoid this line here. 07:54.690 --> 08:05.330 Once one's friends go coverage to build for making weed here flowers they kick off in the background. 08:05.330 --> 08:09.320 All right one last thing before I go is when you get to the end of your drawing because we're going 08:09.320 --> 08:11.340 to kind of listen later on. 08:11.370 --> 08:16.520 You kind of left with ugly looking during and Galal things overlap and it's not very nice nice little 08:16.520 --> 08:22.070 easy trick is I'm selecting it all with my black arm holding down the key all the option here on the 08:22.080 --> 08:24.060 MC Cain is making a duplicate. 08:24.230 --> 08:29.170 And with it selected just give it a stroke and pick something down here as his profile. 08:29.280 --> 08:35.270 That's something nice like this first one here with pre-fall gives it a nice kind of hand-drawn look 08:35.330 --> 08:38.970 of bump up to three point looks a bit better. 08:39.050 --> 08:43.280 Like I said shape a little wiggle to make this and fill it in and do some cool colors. 08:43.280 --> 08:43.520 All right. 08:43.520 --> 08:45.950 That's it for advanced Pindell stuff. 08:45.950 --> 08:46.910 All right I'll see in the next video.
