High there in this video we are going to take the whip to to the next level.
We're going to take this hand-drawn logo and amazingly vectorize it.
Same with this one here we're going to take this pencil drawing and Dule is kind of cool with the blobby
bits to the ends.
All right.
Let's go and learn how to do that now in Illustrator.
All right.
So I've got open the width to one door I file.
And we're going to draw this kind of curve in the middle.
Here's the logo that I made a really long time ago for a company called Arctic Kiwi and it just has
this really nice kind of like coral New Zealand currish shape in the mountains.
That's what is meant to be anyway.
But we want to get this curve.
We're going to use the with Tool and we'll look at some of the advance with Tool features.
So first of all we need to get that kind of curve shape now that can be the hottest bit right when you
use the curvature too.
And it gives me the kind of nice coastline.
And we're practicing the courage to remember something like once.
Now if you kind of put two not enough curve points on K I'm trying to be really sparingly.
And if you know like the least amount of anchor points Gemini gives you a nice curve and that's good
but it's not kind of following the line as I wanted it.
So what we might do is I'm going to undo and just kind of add one or two more extra points so instead
of going all the way down to here I'm going to kind of maybe get there maybe you can
you you'll see like that kind of comes around.
It kind of reaches back and influences the line.
Thank you guys.
Now if you get a close look actually it's kind of close but not what I wanted.
You can use the White Hart to adjust it.
Or let's say it's really bad and you've got like something that's not what you wanted.
Actually let's do a duplicate over here.
A nice little trick.
And before we do that with toe is with it's selected if you've got something that just doesn't flow
very nicely.
You can use the object path.
Simplify doesn't always work.
You can see there is just a tiny adjustment.
And I feel like it has a nice curve there now especially across the top here it's kind of peeked across
this.
You can play around with curved precision can decide on how much or how much.
Don't worry too much about like where it is on the slider because you know it just kind of changes the
shape so I am just kind of drag along until you find like actually I think that's quite nice so I kind
of liking it about there.
And Mitchell previews I'm game and also know that sometimes I use it and it just makes a big mess of
it.
But no I'd say it was the time it makes a little bit better.
You can see I'm looking to get more.
Goodbye.
Your in it in the background on trend line.
Back up again.
And when you are doing this don't worry too much about the background drawing because that's just hand-drawn.
Like it was my good guess at trying to get it nice and curvy.
But we want to get something that looks perfect and Victor.
OK so you don't worry too much about it.
So now we're going to look at the width too.
So what so is this one here.
So it's like a hop something on him.
And the easy way to do is find somewhere kind of the fairest point of that line I'm going to just drag
it out.
OK so that's a pretty cool thing if you've never used it before.
But a lot of people have.
So there's a few things you need to watch out for is if I zoom in because I used a font size of one
I had a stroke width of one point to start with you can see it's kind of like flat and it's not what
I wanted.
OK so afterwards you can do one or two things you can just grab it and just drag this and get it to
be nice and tight OK at both ends.
Or you can to start with a really small white font to start with before you start drawing it up to you.
All right other things to know about the width to which you can have more than one point you can see
you can kind of adjust this when and having what sort of points if you get something in the wrong place
you can click hold and just drag the center of it and you can see you can kind of move it around and
I'm going to delete these by clicking it and on my keyboard.
Great views as well.
Another thing you can do is let's say I want this outside to be up just a bit bigger.
OK so how I want to know about them.
You can hold down the key on a PC or an option key on a Mac and you can grab either of the sides and
you can see they work independently of each other.
Let go of it.
They start working together.
Why I'm holding down the option key or the OK on a PC.
I can kind of adjust just this one get it kind of how I want it to be.
OK so lots more awesome with two action to come let's just finish this off.
And I want to run into one of the problems that people do have and a little cool shortcut to fix it.
They say I'm using the with two carriages.
Sorry I'll draw these lines but I want to draw them as separate lines because what happens is click
once again like there and I joined up.
That's easy I can play golf.
Now I want to click down here you and I don't want this to join up because it does kind of weird stuff.
I just wanted to do separate lines.
They kind of quickest way to fix that is with the selected the black are hold command on a Mac or control
on a PC.
That just locks it.
It's kind of locked in the background now.
Back to the coverage a toe pick once like once and then up the top here it's not going to try and join
it.
OK.
If you hold command to it just looks it again.
So it's kind of like easier than putting him on its own layer when you stopped doing that.
I'm going to go.
Come on to throw a lot so I can just continue on my merry way.
You want to join some of these lines.
OK.
So you my friend come on too.
And then I grab my courage to
once again back on the top there now you're thinking these are all joined.
OK so nice little trick is let's make sure unlock them all.
So the object is unlock all some reason that shortcut doesn't work on my machine.
It's being done by something else but what we can do is grab all of these blank of points of the top
here.
So I've used my white arrow I've just select them all OK.
And then I can go over here the line pen to say I want you to line there and line vertical lines into
horizontal and they just kind of overlap each other now.
Perfect.
So let's move on to our next with Tool example.
OK so the second example is open up with two to do these kind of like Sayce Scott's style kind of.
Check out sy Scott is I Scott for he's got amazing stuff like it's total and kind of copy of that type
of effect.
And what we're looking for is we're looking for these kind of like teardrop genes and these nice curves.
There's two things we're going to do is do the teardrop one.
So I'm going to grab my.
Here is the courage to talk.
I find it's easier for doing these curves.
Like once click twice how many do I need.
I've practiced this a couple of times teaching it so I kind of know I need a little bit more than I
normally do.
OK.
I want to kind of come around here and then maybe Irish k now I could use the white arrow to tidy up
I'm happy roughly how it is so.
And what you might have run into problems is mine didn't have a fill view of funding it had to draw
just enough to fill before you start drawing.
Next thing I want to do is turn the story quite way down so it's nice and thin and let's grab the with
two areas.
We're going to have a couple of things.
One is the start point.
Now what you find with the style point sometimes you drag it the wrong way and it's like it seems to
not work.
Just get kind of the opposite ways I'm breaking down.
And so that's my kind of first part is doing a pretty good job right.
And then it's because I want that teardrop at the end.
OK so what we'll do is I'm going to zoom in close on this tip and you need to pass out one part.
OK.
And now it's just kind of looks like a regular line but just behind it you drag it in a skinny bit and
it kind of makes like a little Chuba thing and you might be working by before it's probably not OK but
if you click on the line go to hit a stroke and click on the word stroke.
And by default it sits the Unfortunately named but gap.
You want to go to the next phone call around cap and it will give you that kind of look.
Mick Rik's the same but we can fix it and easy by lobbing it off by give you that nice kind of teardrop
shape and that's kind of what we're looking for for this drawing.
Now you might be a mass with the Pinto and spend a while getting this curve is pretty good right.
But it's not perfect.
I'll show you a way say this when he has quite circular.
I want to kind of I'll show you a trick that I use to kind of get us reasonably perfect circle.
So let's start with the lips Casey might have to hold down the rectangle to grab the ellipse to and
then draw an ellipse now shook out if you hold down the key on a PC or the option to make it starts
from the center and don't shift and we'll give you a perfect circle.
That's what I'm looking for right now.
But my thing underneath is just a hand-drawn one so it's never going to match up perfect it don't.
I guess we're not looking to try and do that or I would just yeah we're looking to kind of get a close.
So and what I want to do is slice this into bits.
Now I don't use the knife tool very often sees the short cuts this little scissors till I said knife.
I mean it says so if you can find it it's hiding underneath the race at all.
And he's really good at going click once and click again.
And what it's done is if I just hit the delete key on my keyboard twice it deletes that kind of chunk
you might have the wrong bit deleted you this like with a black error and delete the bit you need to
go on.
You can see how kind of got the beginnings of this going.
Now I want to continue it on.
And so I'm going to use the pintu all the courage to use the carriage all.
And I want to show you something like.
It was like I want to be the side because that was last point drawn you know like I know I don't want
you to beat this side and grab my why are you when I say click on you.
Now if I go back and my wife says I defy you and do whatever I want to go back.
That first one so I find this is a little bit of a bug if you can think of a better way than this.
Heck what I do is I click on this thing once and then go back to my Courteau and it goes Ah did you
mean this guy.
Yes I did.
So I used the pain to just cook at once.
So what I'm looking for now is probably one about there.
I'm going to follow this guy down the middle.
Now I wanted to kind of follow down the same.
So I want it to be straight.
I don't want a big curve like this song in a double click and then hear double click ok then do a great
job there song and I go back and maybe just adjust it.
OK.
And I want to record too much looking.
OK.
You might now go with your white arrows and just kind of tidy this up.
There's a couple that's old man stuff and not getting perfect circles with two apps.
OK I'm using the why are the direct selection told us to cantare it up.
I feel like I'm kind of the need a little bit of work across what I might do as well as tune this one
underneath off because it's kind of influencing where I think it should be.
You know the same thing again.
So if I use the source code to get the kind of bulk of it done now I'm going to turn down my stroke
to something really light and I'm going to grab my With two and I'm going to might need to turn it back
on now.
And that off is I want a big chunk.
And probably want to match it about here because I want the fun to kind of be the same with two about
there before it gets kind of skinny and my doing it gets a bit thinner across here.
So I'm going to tighten it up there and then I want to do this like a little blob.
Remember it's practice that.
So when I go you k to get that kind of in place and then just a bit further back on that last part of
the answer.
And then for the back.
I'm just going to tie it in and you might find like holy moly.
Gay goes to or maybe a bit too big.
You just tuck this in or so I'm happy enough.
What am I doing.
Trim it up I want wanted to be but for the back.
So c c o McKey this is to say snap like air.
Grab that chunk.
Don't need them.
In my block back here and I'm kind of it's a work in progress right.
I'm drawing a little circle here which these guys arounds.
It's kind of the thing I'm looking for.
How perfect is it.
It's pretty good.
Pretty good.
So what we're not going to do now is draw these letters.
You could totally easily draw these but you draw them separately OK.
L draw with just the paint all the courage to a draw.
These two things separately using the with two and we'll join them up in an episode and probably two
videos after this one.
Actually no the very next video where we kind of start merging different kinds of shapes like this with
two with just regular shapes.
So what I'd like you to do is keep practicing on a few of these.
OK there's a few of them that change direction OK in this case I probably just do two separate lines.
The one that came out here and stopped there.
OK.
Now it's the luck of your answer.
And draw another one.
OK that will be really easy to do with a circle.
Should done that one would have been real easy.
I did this one that kind of curves as well but you get the idea.
OK some of these ones change direction and I totally do that in one big long line.
OK.
And yeah I'd like you to practice on a few of these and we'll finish it off in a future video.
All right onto the shape of the tool which I keep talking about and finally finish off a few of these
drawings in the next one.
All right.
Let's go.
