Just when you thought the last video about shipbuilders was long as more get a few little special tricks
again to do to complete some of the previous drawings I've done like this guy we did earlier we're going
to run the line through the middle and split them up and do gradients and over here we're going to show
you how to kind of expand some of these lines so that you can add the feet and stuff that we started
earlier on in the tutorial series.
All right.
First thing you need to do though is go and open up the file called File Open and it's in your exercise
files.
It is called shipbuilder extra.
Go do that now and I will see it in the video.
All right.
So some extra shit build a business.
I like it that much.
A couple of things we haven't covered.
One is the first one is like a bit of a short cut.
So I've got three circles just happened to be circles.
You can have lots of circles.
I'm going to select all three to my shape build a tool.
So here and my tuba and and I can kind of join these up by clicking through that's fine K for three
circles is no big drama.
But if you hold the shift key down and click and drag you get kind of like a rectangle monkey too.
And it just kind of does that little one goes.
You've got lots of objects and data trying to drive across them and scroll through them.
Just hold shift drag across all three.
And that kind of uses like the shape builder where it kind of flattens more into one solid object code.
Next little thing that's going to happen is maybe this from earlier exercise.
OK if I select all of this and grab my shape build it'll be like a K I kind of feel the same.
Tippett He might be like oh it's because of the gap because that gap if I fill that gap it still won't
work.
So why aerotow drag it costs.
K but exaggerated did not grab my toe.
So a big hole you can kind of see why.
And if I selected all you can see the blue lines here indicating that's the path of the the kind of
spine of the path there.
And you can see this is more of an effect.
It's meant to fill around the outside because there's actually a massive gap between this line and this
line.
You see this here just like a pretty effect.
So to what we need to do is to fix that.
OK so it's two things I want to do.
I'm going to copy and paste.
So I've got a version of it up here because I never want to destroying stuff that I've made because
I'll come back and I'm like I want to just get an account because of smashed it to pieces.
So what is selected here.
We're going to go to object and we're going to go to this one this is expand appearance OK and just
kind of like expands it so it's no longer in effect it's actually a shape running around the outside
case and now k it might fill the gaps pretty big over here.
But let's grab our shape build a tool.
OK.
And it does look fine.
Now another thing I want to show you before we move on is if you double take the shape build it all
you can have get attention like the I as a medium you can crank it right up to large or even custom
when you say I wanted to fill in all these holes.
Casey you might have an artwork it just needs like that.
You've done some hand drawing.
And you want to fill it up after a live trace or something like that.
Everything else.
Here is when I turn off.
Is this one here.
Cursus watch preview.
It just gives sort of the colors above my error.
The one that annoys me so much but it does.
OK.
And let's look at two things I want to fill this with White and whites.
Fill this with a random green fill up properly and the second and I want to kind of split that in half.
OK so I don't need to be a line running down the outside so I've got kind of two colors within here
and it's going to be this tool here basically.
So I'm going to make another duplicate of him OK with my black area holding down the key on PC.
Well the auction can't get a duplicate.
And what I want to do is actually go to stroke here and go pre-fall uniform.
I don't want any of that with the.
Goodness.
I want to turn the weight down to something really tiny.
It doesn't really matter what size it is.
And I'm going to drag it down now what I want to do is get a kick off I'm going to grab this in part
of it and see it and try and jam and then I hope for the best.
I feel like I might have got that case on a stick.
Both of these black air drag around both ends.
What I'd like to do is back to my With two and you can see it's kind of confident.
Two little pieces you might have to go around and get to take action to fix that.
But I'm just going to put in random colors and I'd agree in a second cause that's kind of where I wanted
to start.
You know slick that all say stroke.
None.
OK.
I kind of had to stop myself.
They are going to go off in a gradient so this and gradients are particularly exciting I'll do that
at the end because this is more important stuff like this over here.
So what I'm going to do is when Iran expanding a line I'd like to have a copy game to stick my being
and I need later on and what I'd like to do is at the feet to this case so and we're going to kind of
join the two bits and pieces so what I'll do is I'll draw I will first and let's grab the two came and
took off in the background so it doesn't select that you'll notice it again and again that my cursor
change from the crosshairs to the pin.
It's just a lucky cabin's day sometimes you can kind of see my keyboard tells on the screen what it's
doing.
OK so what I'm going to do is I'm going to zoom in here and I'm going to click click molding shift so
it's a perfect line that looks like double click and a curve in there.
And I'm going to click here.
For in the corner case there is one side.
And what it might do is turn the strip quite down to something a little here line which is point to
five case that's one side.
Again I want to start on the side.
What I might do is just kind of overlap here OK and get it close and double click it.
So it's a corner not a curve.
And like once for a corner and know by clicking once to kind of tidy it all up at the end.
So I've got my kind of rough guides.
I'm going to just tidy this up using the why error came get it kind of how I want to.
I'd love to spend a lot more time fixing these up
I don't get to do that while you're watching for that.
OK.
So we've got this.
Now we want to join these two up right.
So I'm going to I'm going to leave some of the badness in.
And so what I need to do is expand this one we kind of looked at it before.
OK so we're going to object explain to parents and now it is no longer I can't use the tool to fix this
now.
That's why I've got a copy of the top there.
OK but now I can grab these to grab my shift to I'm sorry.
Shift him.
Ok ok for my shipbuilder to join these two and delete them but K and probably join these two and have
a look how bad it is am and that's not too bad.
Can I get my a full wire.
And this guy he needs some corner love.
OK.
We go with this guy.
Love.
We love those guys.
And you first see these tigerish like oh what do you do there.
You can do corners.
It's OK.
It's kind of cool but it's when you get into this when you start joining the exe and you've run into
trouble before.
It is a terrible secret.
In fact I'm going to leave it as I followed my dooring without thinking wow that's bad.
OK.
It's going on down here.
Yeah it's.
But you get the idea.
I've learned in principle.
We had to outline this and we kind of drew this separately so there's a law in this document where that
would draw the width to.
But this but down the bottom here and the sheriff and I will draw separately.
All right.
And that's where it ended OK and where you can carry on.
I'm going to show you what I'd probably do with the serifs K rather than what I've done currently.
OK.
And I'm going to go a gradient to it.
OK so I'll show you what I do with the Sirus because you probably brought me into it.
But you know I'm going to draw them straight up.
OK so I'm going to say that's going to be my self and I'm going to copy paste this case in a spin you
know these both up.
Senta senta senta once.
OK.
I'm going to use my Shabir a little to join them.
Thereby ease my sneaky shortcut to shift.
Drag a box across them and we're going to grab my toe K and a kick on this guy.
Actuation you can grab more than one holding Shift to grab both of those two inside ones and drag him
up.
And this guy here.
I want to skew across.
So up here my transform window you might not see it in a window.
Get on to transform K can you skew.
And I'm going to use this to get started now.
Nice little trick for they call it SSIA here is because I've got kind of like really pre-defined ones
like you you're not going to probably find it in there.
So if you just click in here and up and down arrow and I find that's a really easy way I'm just kind
of typing my up error and it's going up at a great time.
Slow slow but I'm going to get this kind of working and that's going to be my Sarah for the rest of
the job.
What I would do is I'll just kind of use it for lots of things.
Or am I happy with the weight of it.
It's probably a little thick but you get the idea right.
So I'm going to make a duplicate of it and I'm going to use it a good few times.
It's actually way too thick.
But as I get these here I'll use it again or else I can use that here.
OK.
In this case I want to split it up and open the sun and then move it out.
GRAB MY TOE.
OK.
It's like that guy.
Hold shift.
Grab all these fellas.
OK so I've got everything on that right hand side and my Araki.
Tap them across.
And this is how to build out and that's going to be my say my main Saraf and this is going to be my
thing when I deleted that one.
Capac so I'm going to use these two guys to start building out that rubbish one can remove.
So you can see I can and do it for you.
There's lots of times I can use that.
OK all these kind of use of version of it.
And I can use that as my starting with the love that but off I can use one and I can kind of yeah I
guess use it for lots of things to get started to kind of speed things up.
I'm rambling now.
Horror Nights and gradients.
Am I going to do that.
You don't need to be around for that.
I'll get the speeded up actually.
All right.
We'll see you then.
OK.
That's it.
That's.
Don't judge me by saying that and Xandra.
