Join Mike Rankin for an in-depth discussion in this video Drawing with InkScribe, part of Learning Astute Graphics for Illustrator (2014).
…The pen tool has been one of the most fundamental features of…Adobe Illustrator since the application was first created back in the 1980s.…Countless millions of pieces of artwork have been…created and edited by people using the pen tool.…But it can be a difficult tool to master, and sometimes it…can take a lot of effort to get the results that you want.…Astute Graphics InkScribe gives you some powerful…new ways to work with Bézier paths…and points, and in many cases it offers a welcome alternative to the pen tool.…So let's check out what you can do with InkScribe.…
To begin, I'll open the InkScribe panel by choosing window, InkScribe,…InkScribe panel And I'll select the Inkscribe tool from the toolbar.…In the panel I have ten buttons for…various features for working with paths and points.…And we'll look at each of these over the next few movies.…Starting at the top left I can see buttons for drawing straight segments, for…drawing curved segments, for removing points, for…making smooth points and for making corner points.…
