This is very creative. I am more familiar with the Pen and Pencil Tools because I am not able to visualize shapes without a rough sketch first, but you showed excellent examples of how shape building can be used. I wonder if there is a way to break things down. In other words, you seemed to have known what shapes and what tools to use beforehand, but if there could be some sort of prompt that cues which shapes and tools, that would really help.

Great video as usual. How can I measure the shape I trace and print them to the size I need in a PDF form? Thank you.

[@manswer36]

what does convert to curves do?

[@DetailingJourney]

how do you duplicate shape easily?

[@KruMark]

You can just drag them around with CMD / CTRL pressed down this way instead of moving the original, you will make a copy

[@DetailingJourney]

@@KruMark thanks a lot mate

[@guykyar4436]

I'm not understanding how to turn the object into a smart object with orange nodes?

[@MarcelZeboHommes]

Excellent video! (it's says Cornel Tool instead of Corner in your vid) No problem but just saying.

[@KruMark]

Ok, thanks
