Video of Compounding vector shapes & strokes Pathfinder tool Ep16/19 [Adobe Illustrator for Beginners] in Adobe Illustrator course by Gareth David Studio channel, video No. 17 free certified online
In this video I am going to demonstrate how we can take the vector drawing composition created in the previous video and compound it into a single flat vector.
There are many good reasons to use this technique. The main reason why we are going to compound our vector is to help us add colour to the artwork in the next tutorial.
In this video I will be also be demonstrating how to use the compounded shape vector as a stencil.
FYI
In this video tutorial I will be using Adobe Illustrator CC for mac. Almost all of the principles demonstrated and covered will apply to future and previous versions. Some differences may apply if you are using a previous or future version.
