| 1A | Before we begin, note that complete Mac and Windows Commands, Keyboard Shortcuts & Mouse directions are written in the script, and mentioned only in the audio.The video shows only Mac Commands, using a one-button mouse.Here are the Keyboard Shortcut abbreviations and differences:
This means press & hold the Command key if you have a Mac, or the Control Key if you have Windows, then press the letter, or perform the action, etc…. |
| 1B | A note on Mouse actions:
If you have a one-button mouse for your Mac, you might want to configure it to act like a two-button mouse:
Your Mouse will now work like a Two-Button Mouse |
| 2 | Before we begin, it is important to note that the way you are about to learn how to draw technical flats in these lessons is the way I learned how to do it. There are many ways to draw fashion flats in Adobe Illustrator and also many methods of achieving the same result. My techniques have changed over the past few years the more I have used the program and experimented, as I am sure yours will too. If you find a method that works for you and are able to produce cohesive and accurate flats, I encourage you to pursue it. For these lessons however, I will be teaching the way that I learned and you may find different ways to do what we are doing on your own. |
