Clipping masks are a great way to keep your illustrations looking their best. They can be used to keep parts of an image from being included in the final product, or to add extra detail or clarity. Here’s how to use clipping masks in Illustrator:

  1. Open Illustrator and click on the Tools palette.
  2. Click on the Clip Mask icon at the bottom of the palette.
  3. Drag and drop a clip mask onto your image or document.
  4. When you’ve made your changes, click on the OK button to apply your new clipping mask.
