In this video, guys, I'm going to show you how to work with the famous bend tool.
It's actually pretty easy with some few complex concepts and lots of modifier keys, but it's easy practically.
If you want to follow along with me, you can come to file and open and you have here a pen dash demo
file that you can open, what is it?
It is.
It's an iPhone and you can open it.
I'm not going to cancel because I already have it open.
Now, let's start over here for once.
I'm going to use the zoom tool, so I'm going to click and drag with the zoom tool.
You notice the shortcut is that then use the spacebar to center it and start working on it.
Let's go for the.
It's pretty easy to use the pental when you are drawing a straight line or as some complex path with
straight lines, for example.
Notice how the Pentagon now on its right or lower right, has a star.
It means you are starting a new path.
All you have to do is to click once and then you notice there is a line that's been created.
Here it is is dragging with you and you can click again.
So you create the line and then you change directions the way you would like and then click again and
draw the line.
Very easy line drawing.
Compared to a tour, you cannot come back here and click on a point and start, you know, modifying
it, not how it's showing you a minus.
OK, on the lower right, there is a minus here.
And saying I'm removing this point.
If you click here, it removed it.
And also, if we come in between here, it says, I'm going to add a point, OK, you added a point
I'm going to undo.
But for example, you disconnected, pressing the escape key when I continue from the other point,
for example, notice at the oblique bar that appeared, it means we are going to continue from this
point.
So you click on the point and then you continue.
OK, so I'm going to come over here and escape to disconnect and continue from here and go back to the
last one.
Now, not as the circle on the bottom right.
It means we are going to close the path.
If you click, so we click, you close the path.
Now, I have drawn a path, but actually is not perfect.
Not is this one and this one.
I cannot edit it with the bentwood itself to edit it.
We have actually a couple of choices.
The first one is to go to your White Arrow or the direct election tool, and then you can click on a
point on an anchor and just move it around.
OK, click and move it along.
That's one way, of course you can do more.
We see that later, but you can adjust your straight line path using the white arrow and not select
a point.
You still have the corner, which you can work on it if you want to.
For example, here it is.
OK, so these are the options that you can use straight forward for the Penta.
But it has something even better that you can do.
Let's come over here.
Zoom a bit down.
Then let's go for the Pentagon.
It's over.
So the way you work now is to click and drag, so you have to Handelsblad one on the left, one on the
right, the mouse pointer is on the outgoing one, it means is going to determine the direction, which
is the curve will appear or we set flat.
And the one that is on the left will determine how the curve is going to come into this anchor point.
So if you do this and you move outside, you notice that you can click and start determining how the
curve is going to be.
You can take it far.
You can take it near OK.
The way you would like.
And again, you can do something like this, something like this.
You notice I'm adjusting it the way I like, then come back here and do something like this.
That's the way to play.
Now let's work.
OK, I'm going to come over to our drawing.
We're going to visit the ghost.
So I click and open.
Not too much.
Too much will be very big curve a bit.
I might be moderate.
It will walk slowly, slowly.
We'll get used to it and click and go down.
So of course I'm going down because I want the direction of the next curve to be down.
OK, according to our drawing and of course the incoming is up.
So come over here and draw this one.
Well, I did not position this one very well.
I'm going to press this button, just put it over here.
You know, you move it very nicely using the spacebar.
I would release just a curve ball, come over and that's okay because I will show you how to adjust
it later on.
Also, I don't like it here.
I'm going to bring it here.
Now we know this here.
We have a big mistake, which we will correct, of course.
OK, at the beginning, you are going to do a lot of corrections.
Don't worry about it and do the corrections.
That fun, by the way.
OK, so here you are.
So I'm going to click and drag upward towards where I want the next curve and here towards where I want
the next curve, it's not going to work.
So I'm going to settle for this.
Come over here on this curve, OK?
And just do something like this and then something just like this.
OK, that's fine.
But another one here just for fun.
And then one thing I shall if for example, you press escape and you know more in the tool, you can
come back to your tool and decide whether you want to start.
So I'm going to bring it nearer.
OK, I notice it's give me this oblique, but it means we can start from here.
You know, you have to click and drag to create the handle here and come back here and that's how it's
going to close.
OK, this is the circle says we're closing this.
So you click and drag.
You don't just click.
If you just click, you will have just a straight line here.
So you need to click and drag towards the direction of the outgoing.
So it's going to be this way.
If few things about the potential, you can add more points if you like, so you come towards the path,
I would come over here and notice how the star has changed into a plus, meaning I can add a point,
but I cannot say at this point with the pental and move it around.
If I try to select it, not as there is a minus now, it will remove it.
So this is the way to the point where you notice I'm adding points and to remove them, you just click
on them when it is minus.
Akino added another one I'm going to undo.
Now our curve is fine, but not fine at all.
We need to adjust it.
There are a couple of ways you can do.
The easiest way is to go for the White Arrow, the direct election tool, and simply select a point.
Here you are.
And then you can move them around to adjust the curve.
OK, so there is one before, one after and they adjust.
Of course, if you turn like this, it's going to adjust.
Both of them is going to keep consistency for the curve as simple as this.
And here you are.
Not if I go very far.
Notice how the curve is going to behave, you know, relative to the previous or the next point.
OK, so I'm going to just like this here.
I know this is pretty short.
Can make it longer, OK?
Here you are, this one I'm going to click and of course, I can move the point, whatever I want,
just positioned here, I can go ahead now and adjust your curve the way you would like me.
Here you are.
And here you are again.
And here you are.
OK, so we are actually playing with this and adjusting the hand is the way you would like.
So that is using the White Arrow after you have analyzed maybe.
Now, let's do this.
I'm going to show you something else, I'm going to zoom in using my old fashioned way that is option
or art on the PC and just Moskal.
I'm going to make mistakes here.
I will show you how to adjust the.
I'm going to take the Pentagon that's a bit advanced, but I don't care.
You know, I think showing you everything about the tool is very good.
It's up to you how to use it.
I would click and drag to create the first point.
I come over here.
OK, I'm gonna put it here.
I don't like its position, so I'm going to press the space bar and just move it release, then adjust
and come over here.
Put it like this.
OK, so this one is not good.
I'm going to go like this and then continue like if nothing happened.
But now I have a very bad curve here.
How do I adjusted.
Yes, you can select the White Arrow then come back and take this point continued curve.
But that is better.
If you press the command key or control on the PC, you will have the white arrow.
You're not the case.
So now you can click on an anchor and just adjusted the way you will want.
OK, without changing to the White Arrow, we have the white arrow working like the are actually our
tool is still the pental.
Here you are.
I can adjust it the way I would like.
Let's bring it here now.
I have pressed the command key while I'm doing all this adjustment.
I'm going to release the command key or the control.
If you are on PC and here I am.
I am back to the Bantul.
I'm going to do something.
I'll draw another one and decide, OK, I want to adjust this one.
So I press command, click on it, adjust its handles.
OK, simple.
Maybe move the point.
Komansky is still press release back to Pental.
That's very convenient by the way.
OK, but that also will lead you into trouble where you will change your mind and do a lot of corrections
too many times.
So now notice here you have the bental with a circle at the bottom.
I'm going to click, not once.
Click and drag.
OK, drag the right direction, guys.
OK, this is wrong directions.
The right direction.
Now, you want adjusted, you could, you know, have fun by placing always the cranky or simply going
to the White Roderic selection and start doing it.
I don't know if I showed you, but you notice this one.
You can adjust the curves.
Not very useful.
Now, let's do a small comparison between the Pentagon and the cover shuttle to come over to this path
here, and I take this point and move it up.
Notice the influence it has stopped on the two anchors that are before and after this point.
So the influence is limited to the Kurds before and after.
So, you see, I'm going to move them.
Protect the curvature tool.
And click on the same point and you look it up.
Notice it has influenced the course before and after and before one and after one.
So it's quite different in concept.
Sometimes it's much easier to use the pentru than the curvature to.
Now, we have seen the comments and we have seen how to work with the pental to add and to delete also
and the still the anchor point to actually the supposed to be the conversion tool.
I don't know why they changed the name to this.
In the next video, I'm going to show you even better techniques on how to draw with the pencil.
See you then.
