Draw with the Shaper Tool

Th e Shaper tool allows you to easily create basic shapes, almost as you would with a
pencil on paper. Th e software automatically translates your drawing into rectangles,
polygons with other than four sides, ellipses, or straight lines. In this exercise you will
use this tool to create the tent artwork.

1. With icons.ai open, expand the Icon Art layer, and then zoom into the
tent template artwork.

2. Make sure the Icon Art layer is active, then choose the Shaper tool in the
Tools panel.
If you continued directly from the previous exercise, the tool is nested under the Join tool.

3. If you see a window appear with advice on using the Shaper tool, click the
window’s Close button.
Illustrator includes a number of these pop-up “helper” dialog boxes that explain
certain features. Feel free to explore those dialog boxes when they appear.
