WEBVTT 00:01.310 --> 00:06.870 Hey there it's Shadow time we are going to do three kinds of shows we are going to do lame drop shadows 00:06.890 --> 00:12.830 we're going to do flat shadows and then we're going to do some Fady shadows over technical names. 00:12.860 --> 00:15.840 Let's go and learn how to do those now in Adobe Illustrator. 00:16.070 --> 00:16.400 All right. 00:16.400 --> 00:22.270 You can use obviously any object if you want to play a lot of it up shadows from the exercise files. 00:22.430 --> 00:24.320 OK and there's three kinds of shadows right there. 00:24.320 --> 00:29.960 Is this just typical drop shadows of slick that are at all here and a. 00:29.990 --> 00:35.880 And there's one and stylize There's one called drop shadow using an old version of Illustrator. 00:35.880 --> 00:39.320 It's under a fix stylize Kate Timberview on. 00:39.320 --> 00:41.390 And you get amazing job shadow. 00:41.510 --> 00:42.530 OK it's not amazing. 00:42.530 --> 00:47.780 Often I tend to write down where I'm using it kind of something really small and low just kind of give 00:47.780 --> 00:48.920 it a bit of depth. 00:49.140 --> 00:53.690 Let's say we want a long shadow and we'll just do a long hard chapter and then we'll do a soft shoulder 00:54.290 --> 00:57.930 k I'm going to make a duplicate down here so I can come back to him. 00:58.040 --> 01:04.010 And what I'd like to do is I'm going to pick a background color so I should use the eyedropper to pick 01:04.010 --> 01:07.800 the backgrounds who has the same color and then go to fill and just darken it down a bit. 01:08.000 --> 01:10.940 You can see I'm using the H is b ok. 01:11.030 --> 01:12.220 I find them easy to use. 01:12.220 --> 01:13.510 It's going to make a little lock up. 01:13.940 --> 01:17.070 And up next thing we do is we're going to move it down a little bit. 01:17.090 --> 01:21.990 So we're going to go Object object transform transform each. 01:22.000 --> 01:24.800 This means I can move it down one Paxo across one pixel. 01:24.800 --> 01:30.410 That means it's going to go to the right and down you can go a negative one and get it up and get a 01:30.510 --> 01:31.180 lift. 01:31.350 --> 01:34.730 OK so do that click on copy and it just made one. 01:34.730 --> 01:41.270 So we got to two versions of it now and wireframe mode command y on to make control y on a PC. 01:41.330 --> 01:44.540 I'm going to go back out a command y k and it is going to repeat that. 01:44.540 --> 01:49.210 So we'll get his Kamandi the long way some way. 01:49.280 --> 01:51.170 There it is transform again so just do that thing. 01:51.170 --> 01:53.810 I just did it again and you can see I just flip it out. 01:53.810 --> 01:56.220 Now you'll see that there's a little bit of an edge on it. 01:56.220 --> 02:02.030 OK so if you want it to be less stage there's just no way a real around other than drawing into K to 02:02.030 --> 02:02.600 get any edge. 02:02.610 --> 02:07.310 Now what you can do is we did type transform each and we did one point. 02:07.310 --> 02:08.910 You can do point one. 02:08.990 --> 02:11.700 And the trouble was is that going to take a while. 02:11.860 --> 02:13.240 OK because I'll show it to me. 02:13.240 --> 02:15.670 Kamandi is the repeat member control on a PC. 02:15.690 --> 02:19.060 I'm holding the key down and it's even taking a while. 02:19.160 --> 02:23.540 So you get the speeded up. 02:23.850 --> 02:24.530 All right. 02:24.630 --> 02:26.640 Didn't take that long but long enough. 02:26.710 --> 02:28.410 OK so that's our chatter right. 02:28.500 --> 02:29.660 OK we're going to grab this. 02:29.670 --> 02:32.870 I'll show you how to fix it up but this is basically what we do. 02:33.030 --> 02:33.810 OK. 02:33.810 --> 02:35.910 And yet you did them in small increments. 02:35.910 --> 02:39.930 If you've got the time and you're not worried and you're more worried about the age I'm probably worried 02:39.930 --> 02:45.150 about it enough to maybe turn it down to a half a point makes me want to do is probably trim it all 02:45.150 --> 02:49.380 out because at the moment it's if I got to come on why it's a bit of a mess in terms of its Victor. 02:49.380 --> 02:51.620 So what I'll do is grab this under him. 02:51.690 --> 02:54.080 You go back to where you were doing this all up. 02:54.110 --> 02:57.720 We've been using the shape builder tool throughout this course if you click on the shape be able to 02:57.720 --> 03:01.180 to know it's going to have a seizure. 03:01.440 --> 03:06.150 It just doesn't like so many shapes so we're going to use the more traditional Pathfinder. 03:06.270 --> 03:08.540 If you can't see it over here we've got it selected. 03:08.550 --> 03:10.110 All of this with my black arrow. 03:10.170 --> 03:11.890 You go to window Pathfinder. 03:11.920 --> 03:16.130 I'm going to go on this first option tonight and it's still going to take a while. 03:16.270 --> 03:21.890 OK not as long as Pathfinder and if you've got more say you've done point 1 K to get it really nice 03:21.900 --> 03:23.550 and smooth on the edge it's going to take forever. 03:23.550 --> 03:25.250 Go get a coffee. 03:25.410 --> 03:26.490 All right. 03:26.550 --> 03:27.510 Let's speed this up. 03:28.620 --> 03:29.050 All right. 03:29.050 --> 03:31.430 Bailey need to speed that up and. 03:31.520 --> 03:31.920 Yes. 03:32.110 --> 03:32.890 OK. 03:33.090 --> 03:41.880 They might do is going to grab this grab a rectangle to drag it out some inches pasteboard and I'm going 03:41.880 --> 03:44.040 to now cause it's all united. 03:44.040 --> 03:49.620 Now I can work with my shape build a to shift him rhumba K and I'm going to delete that chunk and that 03:49.620 --> 03:53.390 chunk chunk and just kind of make it look a little nicer. 03:53.700 --> 03:57.350 I drew a bad rectangle but you get the idea right. 03:58.940 --> 04:00.460 Send him to the back. 04:00.470 --> 04:00.740 All right. 04:00.770 --> 04:02.510 That's one way with a hard shadow. 04:02.570 --> 04:06.920 Let's do a softer look at blending modes and we're going to kind of just touch on blending modes. 04:06.920 --> 04:11.390 Now we're going to look at blending modes in its full entirety and a section in this course for the 04:11.390 --> 04:11.750 moment. 04:11.750 --> 04:16.270 Let's do it for the shadows so I'm going to make a copy of this guy down the bottom here OK. 04:16.480 --> 04:16.910 Copy. 04:16.910 --> 04:23.930 Even holding Altona regnant cases a couple of things I need to do is I need to change the color of both 04:23.930 --> 04:26.600 of these and then grip them before I stop moving on. 04:26.800 --> 04:32.990 And so first of all I want to grab my audio to pick the background color I want it to be a slightly 04:33.230 --> 04:33.890 darker version. 04:33.890 --> 04:34.620 Right. 04:34.790 --> 04:43.390 And I'm going to now hold down my own key on a PC and get a Mac and drag the second version. 04:43.520 --> 04:46.110 But I want him to actually be the exact background color. 04:46.130 --> 04:49.990 So he's not going to really fade out with a city that doesn't re that doesn't work. 04:50.330 --> 04:52.120 We need to just mesh the background color. 04:52.310 --> 04:56.840 So next step is getting the right colors but they need to be groups case they're all separate so I need 04:56.840 --> 05:02.850 to go you my friend is a group Comanche on a Mac or control G on a PC to group them. 05:02.990 --> 05:06.950 And the other thing is is that this guy needs to be at the front because it's going to be hitting backwards 05:06.950 --> 05:07.490 at the moment. 05:07.490 --> 05:12.440 He's the second guy they got made so he's at the front and it looks a bit weird as are you my friend 05:12.910 --> 05:15.540 Terrence range from the front. 05:16.070 --> 05:19.540 So they grouped the right colors and they're in the right order. 05:19.550 --> 05:22.070 Now we're just building them case on the object. 05:22.080 --> 05:25.970 I go to Berlin and we say make it by default you get one guy in the middle. 05:25.970 --> 05:27.340 We need to increase that bling. 05:27.490 --> 05:33.980 OK so we're going to go to object and we're going to go to Plan B options and then here we're going 05:33.980 --> 05:35.640 to go to specific steps. 05:35.720 --> 05:40.530 How many steps in between the moment got one and the higher it is the kind of nice at the edge. 05:40.550 --> 05:44.390 But the more stressed out your computer is going to be so play around this it will really depend on 05:44.390 --> 05:48.440 your board size and how far apart things are going to preview. 05:48.590 --> 05:54.250 And let's test 100 K and you can see it's quite jaggery at the age like we did here. 05:54.350 --> 05:55.940 How high. 05:56.450 --> 05:58.640 300 is looking pretty smooth. 05:58.850 --> 06:01.520 OK let's click OK let's kick off in the background. 06:01.610 --> 06:02.810 And there's our shadow. 06:02.990 --> 06:05.500 OK so let's add this guy back on. 06:05.570 --> 06:07.540 Come back buddy. 06:07.580 --> 06:07.970 All right. 06:07.970 --> 06:09.260 Bring him to the front. 06:09.560 --> 06:14.140 And yet that's a couple of things you might want to do is the moment this is like an active blaming 06:14.150 --> 06:19.220 mode which means I can do things like this I can double click it to go inside I'm in isolation mode. 06:19.310 --> 06:23.840 The guns one guy the barman I can just move it around depending on kind of how I want this thing to 06:23.840 --> 06:26.200 look OK and to get back out. 06:26.210 --> 06:27.890 I just double click the background. 06:27.890 --> 06:31.600 Next thing I might do is I might want to expand it because this is like an active effect. 06:31.650 --> 06:38.120 OK I can go to object could expand into say object blamed sorry and say expand and it just kind of turns 06:38.120 --> 06:43.250 it into all those shapes and we can't smush it down like we did this other one because they're all different 06:43.250 --> 06:46.600 transparencies so it's a little bit problematic that way. 06:46.760 --> 06:53.210 And by let's say I want to trim it now you could do it trim it whether using blending modes or expanding 06:53.210 --> 06:54.120 like we did here. 06:54.380 --> 06:57.360 OK I'm going to stick to grab you. 06:57.510 --> 07:03.500 I'm just going to hold command 7 when I make control 7 on the PC and to send it to the Mac. 07:03.650 --> 07:04.640 There we go. 07:04.660 --> 07:10.600 It's all trimmed up and nice and ready to be exported for whale stuff. 07:10.610 --> 07:11.110 All right. 07:11.120 --> 07:14.900 Anyway let's move on to the next videos that's it foreshadows.
