Pencil and Pen Tool Video
Drawing a Line
Select the pencil tool and click and drag to draw
a free hand line drawing.
Closing Paths with Pencil Tool
To close a path, hold Alt/Option as your Pencil
Tool reaches the start point. A circle icon will
appear next to the Pencil Tool to indicate path
closure.
Smoothing Jaggy Lines
Normally when you draw with the Pencil Tool,
the path looks jaggy. To smoothen the parts that
are jaggy, simply hold Alt/Option to turn the
Pencil Tool to Smooth Tool. Then draw over the
area of the lines which you would like to
smoothen.
Reshaping Path
To reshape a path, make sure your path is
selected and use the Pencil Tool to redraw the
parts you would like to reshape. Note that the
start and end path must be close to the original
path to make it work.
Pencil Tool Preferences
You can turn on the Pencil Tool Preferences by
double clicking on the Pencil Tool. You can
change the fidelity and smoothness to find a
combination that works for you.
Fidelity: Determines how close the path is drawn to your mouse movement.
Set it at a higher fidelity if your not good at drawing with your mouse.
Smoothness: The higher you set for smoothness, the less anchor point it
produces. Thus, producing a smoother line.

A dialogue box will pop up and the file in
shared-->vmontgomery-->illustrator
Find a photo youve saved somewhere on your
computer.
Click outside your photo to place.
Layers
Double click on the Layer name.
The default name is Layer 1.
A dialogue box will pop up. Here you can
change some of the Layer preferences like the
name. This is my photo layer, so I changed the
name to Will.
Next, I want to lock my sketch layer, so I dont draw on it.
To lock a layer, click on the area to the left of the layer
name. A lock will appear. This isnt permanent, so you can
always unlock it by clicking it again.
FYI, to the left of the Lock is the Visibility. This makes the
layer visible or invisible.
Finally, you want to create a second layer to draw
on. Click on the icon at the bottom that looks like
a sheet of paper. A new layer appears. You can
click on the name to change the name or other
preferences.
