Here in this video I'll show you how to work and us the pentool in adobe Illustrator. The peen tool is

one lil tricky thing to understanding at first. But once you learn it's secrets and what it really can do,

then you're gonna excel when using it. I'll also show you how you can create line art with the tool as well.

Question: Why should I use the pentool, and is it as easy to use like some claim?


Answer: Well the pen tool is a very universal and flexible utility. The pentool can be used in many

scenarios that might take physical and dynamic skill to excite a desired illustrators by hand. However

by using the pentool you can work much easier by placing points and making curves in your desire.

Yes the pen tool is rather easier to use than speculated. Some might look at the pen tool and dread using

it. But don't worry, once you learn the basics then you'll be able to take on any big project with the

pentool. So have not fear, DavinDaGeek is here.

  • One prob I have is I'm used to the way drawing is on Inkscape you and actually draw the strokes and connect them into a path but on illustator it doesn't seem to work that way and it's frustrating to me cause I feel that I won't be able to draw shapes exactly the way I want to.I even tried to use the pencil tool but every time I try to draw the next stroke the first one disappears. Is there any way to change that?

    May our Heavenly Father & Jesus bless you.

  • @InTheKnow88 Ok your first strokes are vanishing? Explain a bit more so I can get a better understanding. :0

  • Can post another tutorial that includes coloring and stuff? thanks.! XD

  • @yuitan21 Lol I have like a billion of videos with me coloring stuff. Checkout my TOON BLOCK playlist.

  • You absolutely got my attention when you said that the pen tool in Illustrator is waaaaayyyy, way different than the pen tool in photoshop. That's why I'm here and I'm glad I saw your video.

  • @jamesandaudi Watch my drawing videos in toon block and adobe playlist on my channel, those will cover all of that. :)

  • Thank You

  • Really great tutorial man!

    Helped me a lot with understanding the fill color / nofill to make new shapes.

    Thank you so much!

  • Thank you so much ... I enjoyed your tutorial, so down to earth in explaining it. Will check back on your videos, needed help (attending online classes for Digital Design) glad I came across your video ... easy as 1, 2, 3.

  • Thank you very much. I had no idea how to do this during art. Mostly because I had the fill in still and it kept going over the image I was trying to trace. This tutorial really helped me out.

  • Tutorial is ok, but you talk too much man...
