To the users of the illustrator software to share a detailed analysis of the use of the pen tool to draw a closed triangular cone of the tutorial.
The role of illustrator is to create a path. Users can use it to draw mathematical algorithm vectors that describe lines and graphs, which are displayed on the screen as paths.
This chapter details the use of the various basic graphical drawing tools. Using these tools, you can easily draw basic graphics such as rectangles, ellipses, polygons, and stars, which are closed paths, and can also draw various open path graphs such as lines, curves, and spirals.
It is noteworthy that the curve in the illustrator, due to the creation of Pierre Bézier, Adobe very early on the Bezier curve in the illustrator and PostScript page description language, through the anchor point and control the grasp of the handle, You can easily draw and adjust curves.
1 Click the Pen tool on the tools panel with your mouse. Click the place anchor on the drawing board with the pen tool, and move the cursor to place the second and third anchor points, and finally move the cursor back to the first anchor point, a small circle appears in the lower-right corner of the cursor, and click to create a closed triangle.
2 with the "selection tool" on the graphics board click on the triangle to select, you can press the CTRL key to temporarily convert the pen tool to the selection tool. Place the anchor point on the vertex of the triangle you just drawn, create another triangle, and have a common edge with the first triangle.
3 with the "Selection tool" to select the first triangle, first on the Tools palette, "Fill", and then click the mouse to select the "Swatches" panel, in the palette listed on the color yellow, triangular fill color into yellow.
The first step of the technical background: the start of illustrator when the "tool" panel automatically appears on the left side of the screen, commonly used tools can be selected by the "tool" function panel. The pen tool is in the same pop-up menu as the Add Anchor Point tool, delete Anchor Point tool, and convert direction control Point Tool, and its shortcut key is P. Note that you cannot drag on the graphics board with the pen tool, or you will create a curve. The second step to note is that you must first select the previous shape, and then draw the next shape, otherwise the pen tool will automatically become the "except Anchor point tool" Delete the anchor point. 4 Using the "selection tool" to remove the selection of the triangle; still select fill, select another color on the swatches palette, and the fill alias changes; Select Paint Bucket tool on the Tools palette and click to change its color on the second triangle.
5 Select the Selection tool on the tools palette, or temporarily change the pen tool to the selection tool by pressing the CTRL key. Use the selection tool to click on the drawing board to remove the selection of triangles to see the final effect of the graphic.
6 Select the "Selection Tool", click and drag on the graphics board to include all two triangles, so that all two triangles are selected, and on the Tools palette, click Stroke, select None on the Swatches palette, and then select the observation effect.
7 This example describes how to draw a line and a closed shape using the pen tool, it also involves using the selection tool to select and select Graphics, and to make changes to the fill and stroke colors of the graphic using the Swatches palette, which can be said to be the simplest example.
Step Fourth if you use the same method as the third step, you can also change the fill color of the graphic. For this example, the two methods are nearly as difficult. However, for some complex graphics, the use of "paint bucket tool" is very convenient. The Paint bucket tool is a useful tool for coloring selected objects at the same time with the fill or stroke colors and attributes that are currently displayed, which makes it easy to change objects that already have fill and stroke properties.
The sixth step is to select the color as none, there are three methods, there is a "none" option on the Tools palette, the Swatches panel, and the color palette.
Well, the above information is a small series for you illustrator of this software users bring the detailed use of PEN tool to draw a closed triangular cone of the tutorial to analyze all the content of sharing, the users see here, small knitting believe that we are now very clear the way to draw the bar, Then everyone will go to the small part of the tutorial to share with you to try to draw it.
