This video is a hands-on watch-me-work session where I show you how I use the Shape Builder tool to color and edit my drawings and create spot illustrations. It's a game-changer for flexibility – you can easily edit both strokes and fills and apply color with the Shape Builder.

The Illustration style is up to you - you can use clean, uniform strokes or add textured linework with brushes or vectorized drawings. In this demonstration, I show varied ways of styling your illustration. The versatility of vector art is why I love working in Adobe Illustrator! I drew most of these illustrations using Illustrator on the iPad - check out my iPad tutorials for more.
