And now, we draw better
- Illustrator supplies you with six shape tools. See them here? They include the rectangle, rounded rectangle, ellipse, polygon, star, and flare. They're a relatively simple bunch, and possibly they don't look terribly exciting, but they are, terribly exciting. In this chapter, you'll use these tools to draw a fairly elaborate piece of artwork. Now mind you, I don't want to get too showy, you know, just to make something wildly cool all for the sake of proving how flexible a few seemingly mundane tools can be, but too late, because as you're about to see, even the most obvious of tools can result in some wonderful artwork.
