In this video we are going to be covering the drawing tools. Along the way i’ll be demonstrating some techniques so you can get a good understanding of the possibilities you have in this programme and what tools you may want to use for any given task. **FYI** In this video tutorial I will be using Adobe Illustrator CC for mac.
