There are a few things you need to know before starting to draw shapes in Illustrator. First, the basic shapes that you can create are rectangles, circles, and triangles. You can also create other shapes by using the Polygonal tool and the Marquee tool. Next, you’ll want to learn how to draw lines. The most common line type in Illustrator is the straight line. To make a straight line, press Command+L (or Control+L on Mac) and drag the line out of the way so it’s no longer visible. You can also use the Line tool to make lines by pressing Command+L (or Control+L on Mac) and dragging a line out of the way so it’s no longer visible. To make a curved line, use the Curved tool and drag out a curve until it looks like you want it to be. To make a round shape, use the Round tool and drag out a circle or triangle until it looks like you want it to be. Finally, if you’re creating logos or illustrations for your website or product, you’ll want to learn how to create text using the Text tool.
