Hide other layers - work with only one active layer at a time with Shape Builder tool. If you have more than 1 layer open, the Shape Builder tool will combine the 2 layers and you will loose your details.

# data[].attributes.body
The eraser takes away portions of either shapes or lines. In this case we are using it with the Blob brush tool, and it takes away the parts of the shape the Blob brush tool creates.

Holding the shift key constrains the movement of an object to horizontal or vertical.

THIS WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR YOUR EXERCISE 2!

Holding the shift key constrains the rotation of an object to 45 degree steps.

# data[].attributes.body
Object/Transform/Scale - will make a circle that is Concentric - spaced inside/outside of the original circle. Make sure you copy your original shape to have 2 circles.

THIS WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR YOUR EXERCISE 2!

# data[].attributes.body
With an object selected, hold down the ALT key and drag the extra object away from the first.

*Holding the ALT & the SHIFT key at the same time will allow you to duplicate a shape, and also keep it horizontally or vertically parallel with the first shape.

# data[].attributes.body
Using aligning speeds up the design process by making your objects align either to each other, or to the page. This quickly makes your design symmetrical and more appealing.

THIS WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR YOUR EXERCISE 2!

# data[].attributes.body
To make something symmetrical on both sides, make a shape on just the left. Transform/Reflect/Copy. Move to the side while holding the shift key to keep it level with the first shape and then use the Shapebuilder tool to keep the parts you want & delete the parts that are not neccesary.

Gradients

Do a sketch of your animal on paper first - Keep it simple, you’re not really drawing the animal — you’re mainly just drawing its features

Take a photo of your sketch if you want something to follow

Place it on your layer 1 and lock it

Create a second drawing layer and using only circles and Shapebulder create your animal

Use different gradient colors & fills in your animal and also your background

Hide your layer 1

Make a new layer underneath your animal drawing and fill it with a gradient
