    Illustrator Illustrator CS4. Can't fill a compound shape!

    Thank you, Hawkeye. The tutorial I'm working from is: 50-illustrator-tutorials-every-designer-should-see. And I chose it because I want to learn some ILL design basics. But I'm going to give up on their tutorial (http://ndesign-studio.com/tutorials/tracing-photo) because I'm just going to...

    Illustrator Illustrator CS4. Can't fill a compound shape!

    Hi Hawkeye, Thanks, but that doesn't seem to work. Hopefully my little graphic presentation will make things clear. I didn't attempt this technique for the whole face. Just the reflection off the models forehead. 1. I start out like the above.... 2... then I copy and paste in...

    Illustrator Illustrator CS4. Can't fill a compound shape!

    Hi folks, I'm reading this online tutorial. http://ndesign-studio.com/tutorials/tracing-photoAnd it says to trace over a photo. The first trace is called the base path. In this lesson it calls to trace a face, but I decided on a less complex approach and "traced" a simple circle with my pen...

    Illustrator How to create my own Illustrator keyboard shortcuts?

    I want to create, as in make up, a keyboard shortcut that will change the name of the layer. I don't want to double-tap. There is no ready-made shortcut in ILL to modify or otherwise use. You can do it in Photoshop. Do you know how to do it in ILL? I can't find out how on my own. Thanks!

    Illustrator How to create my own Illustrator keyboard shortcuts?

    Thanks, but still not what I'm looking for. Example: in photoshop, I didn't like double clicking on the layer to change the name. So I found a way to create, as in totally make up, a keyboard shortcut (CTRL-F1). Is there a way to do this exact thing in Ill? I guess I should have been more...

    Illustrator How to create my own Illustrator keyboard shortcuts?

    Hi folks, Please read carefully before answering. I do NOT want to customize keyboard shortcuts that are already available to me. I repeat, I do NOT want to do this. My situation is: I can't seem to find a keyboard shortcut to rename a layer in Ill. If it's there already in the shortcuts...

    Pasting / importing an image looks too small on the page.

    Hi folks! Whether I copy n paste from a Flickr page, or bring up a recent webcam pics of mine, when I paste or load them onto a US Paper sized page (8 1/2 x 11), the image appears rather small. Of course (CTRL - T) allows me to expand it, but then the pixels start breaking up. I'm at View /...

    Illustrator Restoring both handles to an anchor point.

    Hi folks, So I create an object with a closed path. I use the Convert Anchor Point tool to bend and reshape a line in that object. Two questions: How can I begin the reshaping by using only one handle instead of being forced to use both and then going back and deleting the second handle...

    Illustrator Illustrator cs4. Which profile is best for uploading to the web?

    Hi folks, I draw comics. Nothing professional, just for fun right now, but I know that at least in Pshop that a .jpg is what you want to save your files in so that you can upload to the web. But what about Illustrator? When you open Illustrator, you are given a few Document Profiles to work...

    What if it IS on its own layer?

    Brushstroke or pencil line thickness.

    Hi folks, If you draw a line (paintbrush or pencil), can you change the thickness AFTER you have drawn it? Thanks, J.

    Trying to find a picture online.

    Well, yes! It would. Now I need to find or make water wake splashing away from the front of the missle as if it is on the surface and headed for a ship. Any ideas? Thanks for that pic! I can store it as a template.

    Trying to find a picture online.

    Hi folks, I know this isn't exactly a PShop question, but it is indirectly. I want to look at an image and backwards engineer it / recreate it for my own work in PShop. Can anyone post a link to, or provide a jpg of, a torpedo visible underwater, with the water wooshing all around it? It's...

    Toning down the black.

    Hi folks, Let's say I've got a stormy cloudy sky. Very dark clouds. I want to draw a single, thin ray of light coming through the clouds. By looking at actual photos, I thought I could put the JPG image on Layer One. Then using the Eraser Tool, I could erase in a straight line to simulate...

    Photoshop Paintbrush blobbing unexpectedly.

    Hey everyone! I figured out it was the settings on my Wacom Tablet pen. Too sensitive, it would create lines when coming too close to the tablet. I reduced the sensitivity and now I can sketch to my heart's delight! Thanks!
