Pen Practice Instructions

Open the following doc and place it in Adobe Illustrator-

You will be tracing each shape with the pen tool. The first row only requires that you fill it with generic colors as stated.

-For the second row, use the live paint tool function (K key shortcut) to create live paint groups. You can use the arrow keys on your keyboard to swap colors.

For the second row, we will be utilizing paint swatches and libraries. They must be filled according to the correct color swatch and may not have strokes.

The third row is the mastery. You must call upon your zoom and hand tool skills to trace the smaller forms. Use live paint groups to trace and fill each form. No strokes are to be used as well.
