 Hello everyone, welcome back to another Adobe Illustrator Tutorial. Illustrator CC guys, I'm in Illustrator 2019 as you can see here. I'm going to show you how to use the live shape properties that you can use with all of the different shapes. You'll see here that I've drawn a rectangle, a circle, and I've also got a polygon here. If you're really new to Illustrator, I'll go quickly here. The ability to draw shapes is over here on your bar. You'll see these tools right here. The live shape properties are a little different. These are basically adjustments that you can make to a shape after you've already made them. If I was to click on this rectangle here, you're going to see inside that you'll see these little I guess little circles with circles inside them. You can go ahead and drag these corners or these circles and make adjustments. You go from a rectangle to a rounded rectangle just like that. I am going ahead and using the selection tool. If you want to make adjustments to just one section or one side or two sides instead of the whole thing as I did here as you can see here because when I pull that in you'll see all four sides get adjusted. You'll want to go up here and grab the direct selection tool. When you do this you can select one corner just like this one and when I pull that in it adjusts just this one side. I'm going to command your control z to undo that. Alternatively, you can select this one. I'm going to hold down the shift key and I'm going to select this one and I can make adjustments to two sides here and make actually a really cool shape. What is that? That looks like uno, right? That's like the shape for uno I think. There you go guys. Those are just a couple of the things you can do here. These are live selection or live tools that we're using to adjust currently made shapes. Let's go back to the direct selection tool. If you go to the circle here or the sphere, don't have the same options because there's no corners in a circle. If you have done math you'll know that. Thank you Pythagoras or whoever the hell or Archimedes or whatever. But anyways, joking aside here you will see that they do have a ability to make some adjustments. So I'm just going to go ahead and hit the direct selection tool and as I pull on this this is basically kind of like the Pac-Man tool where you can make Pac-Man right there one click. You're basically selecting angles and you're making adjustments to the starting and ending angle. So if I was to raise this up here, okay we've got a nice pie shape here and then you could take this one, the second one and then you could end angle it down here and you'll see here that we've gone ahead and made an adjustment to the shape live. The last one I will show you is the polygon tool. When you create a polygon and I'll just do a quick one here, I don't know, let's say that has what one, two, three, six sides, something like that. There when you go to this one here you're going to see this option here, you're going to see plus minus. As you raise or decrease this you'll see here you can add and decrease sides to it. So these are some of live shape properties that exist inside the polygon tool. So if you've already gone ahead and made a polygon but you realize it has too many sides, you don't have to go and draw a new one, just use this tool just like that. Also you'll see here that you can go ahead and make adjustments inside to the different angles. So if you wanted to be more like, well that's a perfect circle, but if you wanted to be little more rounded corners, for example, there you go, you've got a nice little mushroom hat looking thing going on there or a crown for example. But any guys this is live shape properties inside Adobe Illustrator. This is for newer people to Illustrator. I hope this tutorial helped. I've got a lot more stuff coming up. I'll be back soon.
