TUTORIALS

Tutorial 1: The Pen Tool

In this class, we used to learn how to practice the infamous pen tool in The Bézier Game. This is quite an interesting game to improve our ability to draw straight lines and curved lines in Pen tools. And our main goal for today is to do the car shape in The Bézier Game.

Tutorial 2: Light and Dark

For this week, we learned how to form shadows. We learned this by using some of the tools which are Pathfinder, Shape Builder, and Knife tools. After learning how to use these tools, we were asked to trace a pear and create a shadow on it.

• Tracing The outline and then tracing the shadow with pen tools, By using Pathfinder(Divide) can divide the shapes you have selected among their intersecting lines.

• Using the knife tool can slice the object into different parts. If the object is combined with pathfinder( Divided), can be selected by double clicking and dragging to select the part you want to separate
• And then adding the cutting part with pen tools
