734 Using the Puppet Warp tool in Illustrator CC

- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland. … Welcome to Deke's Techniques. … Now lately, I have been a little bit critical … of Illustrator CC. … For one thing, Adobe has taken the Pen Tool, … am I right about this, the best tool in the software, … and turned it into a kind of stubby goat's huff, … which I find, I mean, I'm, am I the only one … who finds it unpleasant to use the tool anymore? … I mean it's like looking at my face … without a goatee. … And then there's the Properties panel, … which I think we can all agree … is a waste of space. … But there is one new feature that is so great … it makes up for everything else, … and that is the Puppet Warp Tool. … And I'm going to show you how we can use … that tool in Illustrator CC 2018 and going forward … to take this bat skeleton and make it all funky. … And you may look at this and say, … Deke, that is ridiculous. … You're the one with the software flaw, … and that may be true, but it's demonstrative, right? … You can see that we're making a big difference …
