#ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR FOR IPAD PRO 2020 HOW TO#
The 'learn about Illustrator' video that you can play from the Home page is more inspirational than tutorial it shows you that you can adjust a curve or paste a mirror image of a selection rather than showing exactly how to do that. And while the interface looks fairly sparse at first, there are a lot of controls and tools available - but you'll have to play around to find them. So you can pick colours from photos or quickly take a snap and mask a selection to use in an image. It takes advantage of not just the Pencil, but also the fact that a tablet has a camera. Take time to explore the resources for learning what Illustrator can do, in order to avoid frustration. (These days, that's equally useful during a power cut or when someone else needs the computer for school or work as it is when truly mobile.)
It's optimised as a sketchbook that designers who choose to work on an iPad will find useful for creating vector illustrations quickly and naturally, that they may later refine on the desktop. Illustrator on the iPad doesn't try to fit in all 80+ tools from the desktop version.
And on such a small screen, Adobe needs to balance having enough tools to be useful while avoiding cluttering the screen up with toolbars and panels. Drawing in the desktop version of Illustrator relies on indirect manipulations that create curves based on points and splines (and take time to develop expertise with), rather than directly drawing a curve with something that works like a real-world pen.ĭesigners working on an iPad with an Apple Pencil will want both the precision and control of the desktop tools and the natural interactions of touch and digital pen. Porting mouse and keyboard-optimised vector illustration tools to touch-first tablets involves more than just fitting the interface onto a smaller screen.
