This is our Third Illustrator tutorials post for the Beginners. Here we have listed very basic method to handle Symbol Panel, Styles, Brush, Paint Brush Tool, Mesh Tool, Define Pattern.
Symbol Panel:
This panel stores all the objects, which can be used by the symbols sprayer tool. You can also create your own customize symbol. Symbols that you create and store in the Symbols palette are associated only with the current file.
Styles :
You can apply graphic styles to objects, groups and layers. (You can’t apply graphic styles to type objects that use outline-protected fonts or bitmap fonts.) When you apply a graphic style, the new graphic style overrides andy graphic style that was previously applied to the item.
Brush :
Brushes are the present objects, which can be used to draw the strokes with designs. Working with the paintbrush tool can use these brushes.
Paint Brush Tool :
This tool is used to draw the freeform paths and also apply brush both together. The number of anchor points set down is determined by the length and complexity of the path and by the tolerance settings in the Paintbrush Tool Preferences dialog box.
Mesh Tool:
This tool creates the mesh line vertically and horizontally on the object to provide the easy way to manipulate with the colors. At the intersection of the line you get the anchor point, which can be , edit easily. It helps to change the intensity of a color shift, or change the extent of a colored area on the object.
The same option with the desire way to work is given the object menu with the title called Create Gradient Mesh where where you can specify the row and column of the mesh.
Define Pattern(Edit Menu ):
This option helps to create the pattern as per your requirement, which can be used for fill option. To create the pattern creates the desire objects and select all the object from which you want to create the pattern & give the command to define the pattern.
