Hi there.
In this story, we are going to learn how to use these stroke options, are we going to use them to
create some awesome strokes, such as shapes with dashed lines, curves with arrows and a profile and
some dotted lines here, which is very important?
And also, we going to create a grid with some arrows inside, some awesome work that will help you
to create even better designs.
So let's start our plastic surgeon, OK?
Hopefully you do it only in your state or not in real life to follow along with me and to do the work
you need to open the strokes, dot a I and you will get this lady where we are going to see how we are
going to do the surgery using these stroke options.
So let's start first of all, I'm going to come under the eyes here and zoomIn.
Most of the option I will show you now, they apply for all what you learned, the shares, the segment,
whatever it is inside here, but not all of them will apply to the brushtail.
Remember that got to start with the pencil and start drawing something just like this.
OK, that will do.
Now, let's go to stock option.
And then you notice here you have several groups, the first group is about the stroke itself.
It's with the cup, that's the extremities, the corner and the stroke.
This applies to cruise ships.
So let's go and zoom in.
First of all, I will zoom in, OK?
Just put it here.
The first one is the cap.
The cap is about the beginning and the end of the path, the beginning start with an anchor point and
the end starts with the anchor point.
So you have backup there.
Just stop off in the same direction where the path has come.
Also, you have a round where you round them.
So notice it has rounded and projected beyond the anchor point.
So really, you have one point.
If I take it more, you will notice the projection here will go now, four points, something like this.
This is important if you're doing, you know, some very precise artwork.
And also you have the projecting cap.
If you click on it here you are is projecting beyond the anchor point.
Now you have corners.
But what is really called a corner, this is a corner.
So it has a hard angle.
So it's like the stroke comes over here, stops and continues.
Now, let me give you an example of what is not a corner.
So this is a corner, but this or this is not a corner.
If you are driving.
This is a corner.
Actually, in graphics.
There's not a corner.
This is a curve.
L.A. So let's stick to graphic design and not driving.
So here we have a corner.
If we come to the stroke here, you would not have options for the corners.
The first option is the matter joint.
Actually, it's like the stroke comes in and goes out there and you have a hard corner here or hard
angle.
The second one is the round joint.
So you are rounding them.
You notice how it has around it over here and you have the Bevell joint.
It just cut it off.
So let's get to Rob now, you have a stroke here, which does not apply to the pen.
Let me show you where it applies.
I zoom out this come over here, I'm going to draw a rectangle.
OK, I'm going to have the stroke so you can see it very well.
Come to the stroke.
And Noticia, by the way, the corners apply to ships so you can round or Bevell the corner of a ship,
which is very interesting here.
What is a line struck you notice you have the banning box, the red one here and now our option is to
center the stroke, meaning half of it is on the inside of the building box and half of it is on the
outside.
You could say, I want it all on the inside or I want it all on the outside.
Depending on the graphic, you're doing good.
Let's keep this rectangle there.
We are going to give you more examples.
And the next option is dashed lines.
OK, let's do we can take the same one and good stroke and enable dashed lines.
Now, I'm going to delete this.
Five will do five dashes, so not just now, you have the dash over here, you have a dash and a couple
assuming you're not, you have a dash and a gap because I did not specify any gap.
It takes the same size as the dash.
So if you create the dash to seven, the gap will be also seven.
But you can specify a gap, for example, three.
Here you are.
So now we have a gap of three.
You can also have another dash, for example, of five, another gap of, I don't know, five.
OK, that will have been the same.
Something like this.
I guarantee this guy the rest will be deleted.
Also.
But not just here, what's happening, OK?
You notice you have two options for the dashes.
The first option.
We start with the dash and dash gap and so on, and they try to fix itself at the end here.
And that's how the corner is.
The better option is a line dashes and here you are.
So I'm going to move around the corner for now with this option.
It aligns the dashes.
And on the corner here, you will have a dash.
Let's show you another example.
So if you come over here to do something like this, OK?
And then you come to the stroke, let's reduce the stroke, and then this is the first option, I'm
going to go for the second option and notice all the corners now have dashes.
It's much nicer design.
Listen to this.
Now, let's go for the selection to select this guy got a stroke and I wanted a round cap and Round
Corners is pretty nice.
Let's go ahead and duplicate it just over here.
Now let's go for the curvature tool.
I'm going to draw something nice to control and click to this select start with the curvature tool,
one here and one here and one here.
And that's school is go for the selection tool symmetric.
But you know, it's okay.
Let's go now and work on the dashed lines.
But what I would like to create is a dotted line to create a dotted line.
You make sure that the real cap is on.
The country doesn't matter.
And then we come to dashers and you say zero.
Now you have small dots all over.
You want them bigger, just increase the weight.
And of course, you will want to increase the gap here.
Let's put it at six, something like this, OK?
Now, let's come to the fore head here, I'm going to use the curvature to control and command to this
select and draw something just like this, OK?
Of course, now it's reverting to the default, come over to the stroke and then no cap and actually
no dashed lines.
And it's three points.
Reduce it to two or one point.
We do.
Now, let's focus on the arrowhead here.
You can add an arrow at the beginning of the path, not at the left or right.
It's at the beginning of the path.
So if you draw it from right to left, the beginning will be on the right.
And this one also left and another arrow at the end.
These arrows are too big for what I want to do.
I want to reduce the size.
You're not just here, you have the scale for the others and you have a chain link in the chain link
is on, we can reduce the size of both left and right or beginning and end at the same time.
You can also add a profile, which I always like, if you unchain, you can increase the size of one
of them, for example.
So let's take this one comment click to deselect our press option and comment, because I don't want
to go to for the Black Arrow, make one and make another one.
And I'm going to select the ship over here, come back to stroke and put the airline stock the normal
way, reduce a bit the stroke rate and go for the dash and go for the normal cap.
So I'm going to give a dash here of five and really no gap.
Read the gap.
OK, here.
So that's what's happening.
If I click out.
They're not the corners, really not nice at all.
What you can do is to come to the stroke and select the second options which ensure that the dashes
are around the corners.
And if you come to stroke and just put this one to zero, so that's zero.
Got five.
Make sure you have a rounded cup.
Here you are.
You have a daughter circle.
And also you can have in the same thing a star as to the star.
Unfortunately, you have to go back to a stroke and select the second option for it to set.
So I actually have a dot at every corner political fight.
So let's apply this here.
I'm going to take any leaps and draw the ellipse just over here, something like this up.
Don't be very congested.
OK, put it here and go for the stroke.
Actually I don't want round so I'm going to use a five by five that will be nice and remove it just
like this.
Reduce the size is too much.
OK, that will be cool.
OK, another option for the arrows.
We have the possibility to extend the arrow beyond the last anchor point and of course, the first anchor
point, the option is here, extend the arrow.
So this is extended.
This is inside.
Now, let's make it more beautiful, let's draw certain things, I'm going to come to the line segment
and just draw arrows just like this, OK?
Appreciate to have some arrows, which we are going to be OK.
So I'm going to select all of them.
Come to the slok here and add the arrow and reduce its sights.
OK, that's pretty fine here, but actually it is not what I want.
I want the arrows to come from down to up.
Well, I have the option here to swap the arrows.
Here you are.
So if you had another arrow over here.
OK, let's take one just like this, OK?
And then you can swap them.
OK, pretty nice and pretty useful.
By the way.
You won't waste your time.
Now let's take these guys here and duplicate them.
I put another one here and another one here.
OK, let's draw now a grid.
OK, something we haven't seen this rectangular creature.
So you come over and you draw like you don't like a rectangle.
But now if you use the Aparo, you will increase the horizontal lines down arrow.
You decrease the horizontal line, the right arrow, you will increase the vertical lines left arrow,
you will increase them or decrease them.
OK, so just like this now, not this, if I release, I will not be able to use the arrows.
So now I still have my mouse down, OK, I still going to reduce them a bit just like this.
And from here also reduce them.
OK, that will do.
Cool, just like this space bar to move it.
I'm going to move it just over here, but let's go to the stroke now and reduce the stroke, OK?
Want the very thing?
We could change the color also.
And let's add some arrows to the grid.
That would be interesting.
Very interesting arrows.
So that is the beginning.
Not as where it's beginning.
OK.
And that is the end.
Very cool, right, guys, this reduce the size of the chain link on.
And then I would change the color to some dark green like this.
Oh, that's very beautiful comment zero to see.
Here you are.
You have done all that is required to do her much more beautiful than before is going to be a fantastic
surgery.
Now you need to experiment.
You need to play with this.
That would be very interesting if you come over and create your own.
OK, this is mainly to demonstrate for you, which can be quite artistic now and use all the tools that
you need except the brush to please and really create something.
They are some, for example.
You could use the R, for example, come to the R, come to the stroke, I need to reset it and no dashes
and create a very nice arc just like this.
But as the shift key.
And then rotate the arc, I would go for the selection tool and just rotate the arc like this, I just
put it over here and say, OK, I want some arrows.
One on the left, one on the right.
I want them to be, you know, projecting a bit.
And I really want to reduce their size because that's the key.
I like the key because I can see them getting smaller and reduce the stroke.
Now I need them bigger.
OK, so now that we're fine and let's add some dashes for this girl.
But we don't want this.
I should want a 10 dash and I'm taking the second option.
Here you are.
OK, now it's awesome.
So you can do your work and do your surgery.
Good guys come over and play as much as you want.
There is no assignment for this one.
Just playing around, doing it much nicer than I have done.
I was here in the next Ottery.
