Drawing shapes

Learn to create shapes using tools like the rectangle, ellipse, polygon, line, or star. Click and drag to draw a shape freely, holding Shift to constrain proportions (e.g., a perfect square or circle) or Alt/Option to expand the shape from the center.

Adjusting dimensions and proportions

  • Use the chain icon in the Layout panel to constrain or unlink proportions while resizing shapes;
  • Adjust the opacity to change the transparency of the shape;
  • Modify the corner radius for rounded edges, with the ability to set separate values for individual corners if needed.

Adding fills and strokes

Shapes can be customized with:

  • Fills: apply solid colors, gradients, or adjust the fill opacity;
  • Strokes (borders): customize position (inside, center, outside), thickness (weight), and style (solid, dashed, dotted). You can also adjust dash and gap settings for custom patterns;
  • Lines: include additional options like start and end points (e.g., arrows, circles).

Effects and enhancements

Add effects to shapes for enhanced visuals:

  • Drop shadows and inner shadows for depth;
  • Blur and background blur for a polished look.

Editing vector shapes

To edit a vector shape:

  • Double-click the shape or click the Edit Object icon in the design panel to enter isolation mode;
  • Use the bend tool to create curves and adjust vector points as needed;
  • Exit editing mode by clicking on empty space or the X button.

By following these techniques, you can create and customize shapes with precision and creativity.

If you want to know more about vector graphics and raster images, I recommend checking out Raster vs. Vector chapter in Adobe Illustrator Fundamentals course.
