Learning How To Use The Pen Tool




The pen tool is difficult to use but when you learn how to use it properly, it can be really fun. Using a grid to make sure all of the shapes were symmetrical and of the same size. Using the pen tool to create different shapes and manipulating shapes with the use of the pen tool. We also learnt how to change the colour of the shapes and how to fill them to how we want, and how that can make different effects. This is very useful as it means I can use it in all different aspects of my work when I need to and I can be much more creative with my work. Learning how to make shapes and then using them to connect different shapes together and manipulating them into the perfect shape that you need which is perfect for when you are creating illustrations, as it means if you have patterns or designs on a garments you can create them accurately, just like you want them, yet they can be so easily changed if it doesn't look right or if it hasn't come out how you've wanted it too. Another thing that is great is that you can duplicate objects so that you can make everyone exactly the same as they would simply be a clone of the original shape you have created.
