Working with Strokes and FillsĮvery object in Illustrator is defined by a path. We will add a color to our shape to begin creating the grass for our landscape scene. They allow us to alter the shape by rounding or straightening the corners if we wish. We also have corner controls on our shape.
There is also an anchor point in the center of the shape. Our completed shape now shows anchor points on each corner and in the center of each side. This indicates the location of our cursor in the document.

This will create a rectangle of any size. To draw a rectangle, we can simply press and drag on the artboard with the Rectangle tool selected. To select the Rectangle tool, in the Tools panel, Several common shapes, such as rectangles, ellipses and star shapes, are available to work with in tool form, but almost any shape can be made by combining and altering these basic shapes. An important part of working with Illustrator is understanding how to use the shape tools. We will begin by working with the shape tools.
