- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland. … Welcome to Deke's Techniques, the deep in the July episodes. … Today we're still inside Illustrator … where I'll show you how to create a very basic pool cue, … that is to say the stick. … Now at its heart it's a rectangle, … along with an ellipse for the tip, … a few anchor point level modifications, … some adjustments using dynamic round corners, … a bunch of linear gradients, and a clipping mask. … The result is an hour hand for our pool hall clock. … Here, let me show you exactly how it works. … All right, so here we are inside Adobe Illustrator … and just to cut down on the clutter … I'm going to go ahead and turn off the balls layer … here inside the Layers panel. … Then I'll click on the table layer in order to select it … and I'm going to create a new layer … by dropping down to this little plus icon … at the bottom of the panel. … In previous version of Illustrator … it looks like a page icon. … Regardless of its appearance, … you Alt or Option + click on it …
