Islamism, welcome to Figment , this our Th class regarding illustrator , so what we will study in today's class ? , all about stroke i will give you details about stroke , then it will become easy fit you to understand the strokes , so this class will be little but different for you , because we are not making anything today but yes we will make something , but you will learn how to use stroke in today's class , so let see , i made a file for you , here are some boxes ( rectangles) , or squares one thing i want to tell you that , this all are of same sizes , so because of different properties of stroke , this are looking different , so first this path , this is fill and stroke path , generally if we take fill and stroke it will look like this , and if i will select this , then here fill and stroke will be visible to us , and if you want to change then double click here and , pic whatever colour you want to choose, i had told you this things in previous classes , OK , if i , come here and i want to off it's stroke , if i want to off the stroke then i have to select this stroke (that is i have to put this stroke box on top position) , and i will do nun from here , then stroke will remove from here , similarly if we want to remove fill then i will select fill and then i will press nun form here , then fill will remove from here , OK come to the next this is the fill only path , it don't have any stroke , this symbol indicates that it stroke is off , next we have stroke only , if you select this , this will show that it don't have any fill , which is clearly visible to you that there is no stroke here , one more interesting thing is that , those path who have fill , you can easily select and drag it then it will move , same here in this fill only i am moving it very easily , but this stroke only , if i will move like this it will not move why? , there is no fill here , so we can't hold anything for dragging to move this path , so for moving this you have to click on stroke and then drag it , so click on stroke directly and then drag , OK , alright , next topic you have is stroke alignment , this is align stroke to center , OK where will you see this property? see here in upward position in menu bar , there is stroke option , if you click here then a panel will open , this panel is also available here , this is stroke panel located here , another way is , you can also go to window and i am scrolling down , and here is stoke option just click here , then it will open from here , i am putting this here and i am closing this , one more thing, when i am selecting this, , you can see weight due to it , here weight is 8 points , when you will see here (upward panel of stroke) you can more details than this panel , don't take tension , see this is your fly out button and click on it and , click on show option , then exactly same panel will be visible to you , alright . OK see this , when i selected this , align stroke , here align stroke to center button is showing on here , if i will select this , , it will show me that align stroke to inside is applicable to this path , and if i will select this , , it will show me that align stroke to outside is applicable to this path , one more interesting thing is that all the three paths have same sizes , but they all are looking different this is looking smaller , , this is looking larger and this is looking more larger , because their strokes are aligned in different manner , so remember one thing that the size of you shape will appears different , depending upon the align property , that is inside , outside or align to center , these three property contain difference , third thing is when we will use it ? , when we go further we will learn or easily understand this that when to and how to use it , one more interesting thing is when i will select this and increase it's weight , then see here the size will increase from both the sides (that is inside and outside , and when i will select this , and increase it's weight (same W points) , so it will increase from inside , because it is aligned from inside , when i will select this and increase it's weight (W points) , it will become more larger , because it is aligned from outside , if you will come below , here the topic is joins (corners) , how your corner will look like , this is Miter join by default Miter join is applicable to your shape , equal to this , this is round join, see this ( this is round join) , the difference is when you will apply this , it will show round corner on your shape , it looks better in many places because of smooth corners , in some places it looks better , third is bevel join , it look like this you can say it is cut from edge , remember that these 3 are same strokes , only difference is which type of join we had selected , OK see if i will select these 3 together then , it will not show any active join in the panel , because these all are different from each other , if i will select this then it will be show press , and if i will select this then it will be show press , and if i will select this then it will be show press , next you have dashed line , you can change any stroke in to dashed line , if you remove check from here , see when i removed the check from here the dashes disappeared , if i will on this then dash will come again , how much gap you need ? you can give your value from here , for example i gave 4 points , then it will show 4 points dash , by default gap will come depending upon the value , you gave on it , but if you want some different then you can give more value in this gapes , i mean you can give 2 points gap here , and next also 2 points and then again 2 points , then it will show you dot dash dot dash , interesting line is made and , you can apply it on any path to convert it like this , this thing is known as doted line and , for doted line one thing remember that your weight must be equal , to the dashed point then it will show dot line , for example if i will make it's weight one point then , it will look like dash not dot . why ? , because my dash is 2 points and the weight is 1 point , so one point weight need one point dash , then it will look like dot line , so you can convert any path like this , next you have open paths and , it's end point or cap , what is cap , the place where you line close , you can see this visual , here your butt cap is on , this have round cap , third one we have projecting cap , what is projecting cap ? , it is same as like previous one , only difference is that it will close little near the closing path , i mean stroke will close near to the closing path , always remember that these three have same sizes , but only for the caps these all are looking different , lastly , you have some arrows , how to add arrows ?Simply here is the arrow option , one is for starting and other is for ending , see this it has both start and end arrow , how to use it ? , for example let me make some path , OK let us make with pen tool , this is our path , correct and , i started from here and then i selected it , i started from here so this is my starting point , i want this on my starting point , and in end i want this arrow , then it will show this easily that is it will give me this arrows easily , OK if you want to make these arrows little bit smaller , then you can do this by changing their values , i am giving W % value , and in this place i am giving W % value , this is your all path settings , OK , one more thing , see this arrow , now , the place where your path is ending , is the same place your arrow is also ending , if you want to make it little forward then , press this button and , see this your arrow is now little forward , i hope change it because this one is looking strange , this is also better , anyways remember one thing , it will end on that place where you path ends , your arrow will end here and , if you want to end your arrow before , means this will on the end of path , and this will beyond the end of path , so shh see this , i am taking solid arrow it will come towards outside , OK , i hope everything is clear till here these are small things , this is for only for knowing that , whatever you making , contains this property of strokes , next thing is that , here are some line segment which you know that , i don't want to disturb this , i am coming directly into the brush , paint brush, OK remember that paint brush is , also a stroke , it is little bit different and we will see this in details when we will make our own custom brushes , shh , i am taking a new file and , let me use something to make you understand , see , the special thing about this brush is that it is working very thick , simply take your brush , click and drag , you can make your drawings very easily , inside this brush you have bob brush , but before it i want to tell more about this paint brush , whenever you will draw anything with it , so remember that when you will change it's colour , so you have to change the stoke's colour , this is not fill this is stroke , so change the colour of stroke , this will change your brush's colour , if you selected any colour then it will show that the same brush colour , and you can change it's colour also , for example i selected green , now when i am doing this , it is showing me green strokes , one more important thing you have one panel known as , brush panel , so if you open this that is brushes , and look it carefully you have , you have different brushes which are default brushes here , don't worry we will see how to make our own custom brushes in details , but i will not tell you about this today, , but today i will tell you how to use it , i mean how to use this , one more thing this brushes which are visible to you , is easily applicable to your any path , for example even i made any line with my pen tool , like so , and i want to apply this , then simply click on it it is done see this , OK , as we are talking only about strokes , so let me tell you how many ways we can get this strokes , inside the brush there is also one tool that is , bob brush, i am telling you about this because , i want to tell you about the difference of both , paint brush is your stroke and , bob brush is your fill , see whatever i made is showing as fill , there is no colour on the stroke , remember that you can increase your brush , and you can also decrease your brush size, there is one shortcut of it , you have square brackets in your keyboard near to P key , if i will press right square bracket see this , my brush will increase , so and , we will discuss later that what we will make with this , now just know it how to use these stuffs , shh , why , what is difference between our normal paint brush and bob brush ? , so remember that bob brush always give you fill , means you had made a shape with this , if i will swap like this then , it will show us stroke , OK remember that bob brush is not stroke , it is fill , this will give you a shape and paint brush was our stroke , OK if you take default brush it will show like this , why we are disusing this things , because our next tool is pencil tool , i will tell you about sharper tool , but first see pencil tool , pen tool is same as brush tool , but the difference is , this is plane and thin line , it will not give live result of brush , if you want to see live brush , then you have to use brush tool only , pencil tool is nothing but it's a stroke free , i mean you can make freehand strokes , inside this pencil tools there are also some tools example , smooth tools , path eraser tool , this are also very helpful for your works , for example i made a line with pencil tool , , let me make some rough line , OK look it carefully , if you want to make it smooth , or a sharp corner comes like so , and you want to make it smooth , so you can make it smooth by smooth tools , one more thing remember that , this tool will not only work in only pencil tool , even if you made anything , with pen tool and , it is made very rough , let me make more rough , OK , and i want to make it smooth , so take your smooth tool and , move it by pressing your mouse over it , it will give smooth results , if you do it more then it will give you more smoothness , if you do it more then it will give you more smoothness , and good result of smoothness , because many times we need this , whatever we are making sometimes , we need to make it smooth so we use this tool in our works , it is helpful( smooth tool) , lastly we have path eraser , remember that it erases path only , OK , path eraser means it will give you open path by erasing it , see these are different parts , so if we have closed shape , for example i made a square , and i take my path eraser tool , and i move here by pressing mouse left click , remember that my cursor was looking like this , because my caps lock was on at that time by mistake , if you caps lock will on then your all cursor , or brushes will look precise , for example when you will take pencil tool it will not look like pencil , it will show plus sign , Han , if i will take pen tool and my caps lock will on then it will show cross , don't panic because of these , why my cursor changed ? always check your cursor is on or off , so make your caps lock off and , your cursor will again normal , alright we are talking about path eraser , path eraser work is that it only erase path , see this parts are separated , OK , alright next is , your have , sharper tool , this is a new tool , this is new in cc , i mean this tool is added in adobe illustrator cc , it is little bit interesting , if you want to make some shape quickly , for example if you want to make triangle then make it free handed , it will give you a perfect rectangle , if i want to make rectangle , i did this and see this , if i want to make circle , i did this and see this , it will give you shapes very easily , ah , we use it sometimes , sometimes we make some things , and we don't want any tools so we use this tools to make shapes when we do our work in very speed mode , so for that things it is very useful for us , if we will make open path , then it will say that i don't understand what is this , this is only for shape , shape is that which have close path , if i will make this type of oval , then it will give you oval shape , OK , next my favorite is join tool , you can use this tool more , i mean you can use it during tracing , let see , i am making a path from my pen tool , and , see i made this path simply from my pen tool , OK , i made a open path , and , i am closing it's fill , one more path i am making , like this , and one path i am making like this , remember that these 3 paths are open paths , when i am making this i pressed control so i can get my selection tool while doing my work with any tool , and , when i click out side this path don't disturb me , so remember that these 3 are different curves , one , two , and three , this , join tool. what is the work of it? , joint tool joints this overlapping path , if will select these both and , i will move my mouse while pressing left click of mouse , simply i selected them and then , i will move my mouse while pressing left click of mouse like this , again , i selected them and then , i will move my mouse while pressing left click of mouse like this , see them , this is now a complete shape in front of us , here you don't need to do average and join , here simple corner is coming , you can do curve if you want , i said about this tool also , this is added in cc , you can make shapes very interestingly , see this , many times , see i am making paths with my brush , and if i will select them , and i will do like this with my join tool , it will join , it will become a close shape , please use it and do experiment with this , and you can make most interesting things with it , i hope , alright these are some tools , which we use while working , these are all related with strokes , and my heart wants , to add more tools specially , eraser scissors and knife , OK let see this things also , i want to move fast because i think we are moving very slow , so lets include eraser scissors , and knife , see , you had seen a while ago that was path eraser tool , so this is a simple line , yes you can use it no problem , if you have any closed shape , for erasing this you can use eraser , but see what happens , when i erase this eraser will erase it but it will give close shape path , so if you use this eraser on any shape , for example like this or like this , this will erase , this are now different parts , but remember that it will give you close shape or close path , i am , putting in default colours , so we can select it easily , i am making next shape , i made a circle , i took eraser and did like this and this ... , see this it is very interesting thing , you can erase and make new shapes with it , you can do it free handed , so what is the difference between , path eraser , and , our normal eraser , i erased this path like this , it will remain open , and if erased this like this , it will give you close shape , this is a difference between them , sometimes we erase for open paths , why we want that ? , for example i erased this by path eraser and i did like this and i want to add arrows here , we had seen earlier that we can add arrows on strokes , simply put your arrows from here , and , done , but this thing is not applicable in this , i cant do it here , since this path is closed , but yes you can , by direct selection you can select this , they are larger numbers so , i pressed shift and selected them and then delete , now this path is open , it is more better, it was more easy , so i said you the difference about , both erasers i mean path and normal eraser , it is used to erase shape , but it will give you close shape , next is scissors , scissors is again only for path , it will not give you shape after cutting it , if you click and drag it will give error always , please use your scissor tool on a segment , or in an anchor point , but , not an end point of a path , it will not work on end point , it will work on between of some path , for example if i will click , then it will give a separate path , move it , and i selected this again and i used scissor tool , i clicked here and remember this arrows is coming because we added this features in our paths , so if you want to remove it , simply , come here , and do nun to remove this , OK , also same thing from here , so arrow will remove , i hope you understand scissors also , last you have knife tool , knife tool is also similar to eraser , see i want to tell you some difference between eraser and knife tool , i am doing it little bit side , now i don't need this , now , if i , if eraser it by eraser tool then it will give me two shapes , but a gap will come , which is same in size as my eraser size , you can change size of eraser same as like we did during the use of bob brush , square bracket , see i am making it larger , by pressing left side square bracket i am making it small , if will take knife tool from here , so whats the work of it ? , it will also cut, it is not erasing it is cu ting , it will also give you shape in close way , so if will deselect this see this is a different shape and this is another different shape , but both are sitting closely with each other , OK and , it is very interesting tool sometimes we need to remove some shape from somethings , for example i cut like this , i am selecting this , and giving it different fill , sorry i mean i am giving it different fill , and also i am giving it different fill , this is very interesting thing , you can also cut more here in these shape , and one more interesting this if you don't select this , then also it will cut this , whatever shape you want you can change it's colour , OK , done , OK and you can also off it's stoke , i hope , you all understand this all things related with path , or you can say all about stroke , plus i told you about some erasers , brushes , i hope you will practice this , and please understand this , i will make my next class as much as quick Ins ha Allah , we will learn Rotate tool and we will make some interesting with it , please don't miss it , so if you did't subscribe it , i mean same dialog , and please subscribe it if you did't and , please share it with your friends , why you all are sharing so slow it was so fast when i started this channel , i was very happy when so many peoples were coming to my channel , so , please bring some more new friends , so my students who are well known to me had subscribed this Chanel so , please bring your friends, cousins and lovers, well known persons whom ever you know , bring them they will get many things to learn , please tell me to subscribe it , tell them to watch , , learn and everything is free here , please come very quick thank You
