Drawing with Adobe Illustrator?

Can anyone draw using basic shapes in Adobe Illustrator?


Using basic shapes like: circles, triangles, squares, etc.


Can you create animals, cars, sport items, etc. how?


Do you have to know how to draw to use this program?Drawing with Adobe Illustrator?
Illustrator only provides two basic shapes, (with variations): It has a circle and elipse tool, and a square, rectangle and rounded edge rectangle.





Any other shapes have to be made by hand, with a straight line tool, freehand drawing tool and the complex Bezier, vector drawing tools. To add color and shading to these shapes only adds to the complexity of using Illustrator for a beginning artist.





So, the basic answer is that , yes, you CAN draw things, using some basic shapes, and that knowing HOW to draw is very helpful. One thing that NO software application can do is let a BAD ';drawer'; be a good one.Drawing with Adobe Illustrator?
Sure.





You can actually make your picture layout with those shapes first and then go in an tweak. That's what I do.





You should study a little bit about how things are put together though, because the coolness about Illustrator is using and controlling Anchor Points.





I also like using the Pen tool a lot.
sadly you could learn to draw like vincent van gogh before you can learn to use that program easily
