                           CREATING ILLUSTRATIONS

                 Varied illustrations can be created with the help of Illustrator.
                 Let us understand how different shapes can be created.


                 DRAWING A TRIANGLE

                 Illustrator doesn’t have a direct Triangle Tool, but you can create one using the Polygon Tool.

                 Step  1   Select the Pen Tool (P).

                 Step  2   Click on the artboard to create
                           the first anchor point.

                 Step  3   Click to create the second point.

                 Step  4   Click  again  to  create  the  third
                           point.
