Adobe Illustrator CS6 Using the Page Up and Page Down keys

By

In this movie, I am going to show you how to get around a document using the Page Up and Page Down keys.

Now I am going to be throwing a lot of keyboard shortcuts at you this time.
I am going to expect even the biggest shortcut fanatic to remember all of these.
Just remember this Page Up and Page Down combined with any of the modifier keys, does something in Illustrator cs6 .
So let's go ahead and zoom in quite a bit here, and then I'll press the Page Up key, and notice that I move almost a full screen upward.
And then if I press Page Down, I move almost a full screen downward.
If I want to move in smaller increments, then I press Alt+Page Up, this would be Option+Page Up on the Mac, or Alt+Page Down, this would be Option+Page Down on the Mac.
What if I want to move to the right? Well, then I'll press Ctrl+Page Down, that's Command+Page Down on the Mac.
If I want to move to the left, it's Ctrl+Page Up, or Command+Page Up.
To move in smaller increments, once again, you add the Alt key.
So its Ctrl+Alt+Page Down, to move in small increments to the right, and Ctrl+Alt+Page

Up, or Command+Option+Page up on the Mac, to move in smaller increments to the left.
Now of course, that leaves the Shift key, and you may recall from the previous chapter that the Shift key combined with Page UP and Page Down actually moves you between artboards.
So Shift+Page Up, will take you to the previous artboard, as we're seeing here.
And in my case, I am going all the way back to the first one.
And then Shift+Page Down is going to move me to the next artboard.
If I press Ctrl+Shift+Page Up, or Command+Shift+ Page Up on the Mac, I go to the first artboard,
and if I press Ctrl+Shift+Page Down, or Command+Shift +Page Down on the Mac, I go to last artboard, which
in my case is the big artboard that encompasses all the other ones.
And that for those of you who are interested is how you get around a document, using the Page Up and Page Down keys, combined with every modifier key you got.

Coloring and Line Work in Illustrator CS6

By
Final Product What You'll Be Creating Do a search on “coloring comics,” and you get dozens of Photoshop tutorials. They all seem to involve building up areas of color with transparent brushes. Now you can achieve that same effect with Illustrator CS5, using the Bristle Brush. Unlike Photoshop, however, Illustrator gives you the flexibility to edit individual paths. Since Illustrator’s brush strokes are vector, you can change the shape, width, color and blending mode to achieve exactly the look you want. You can even delete a brush stroke you don’t want. Try that, Photoshop! This tutorial will use another feature introduced in CS5, Draw Inside. Let’s get started! Step 1 You can use this technique with any line art or illustration. I am going to quickly create my line art by tracing a source photo from Wikimedia Commons , photo by Guillaume Piolle . Place the photo in your document and make a Template layer by double-clicking the layer name to bring up its...
