Easy "iPad version" Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop Introduction to beginners

Let's use Illustrator and Photoshop, an Adobe flagship application that appeared in the iPad version

　An intuitive mobile version of the iPad -compatible mobile version of Adobe Illustrator "Adobe Illustrator" and the image editing software "Adobe Photoshop", which have supported creators of various industries for many yearsThe creative work style was spread.Adobe will work smoothly to Mac work through Adobe Creative Cloud, which is provided as a subscription service.Introducing what you can do with iPad using two software.

The iPad version is available for free with the Creative Cloud plan that includes each of the App Store or each of them.

　The iPad version of Adobe Illustrator (hereinafter Illustrator) and Adobe Photoshop (hereinafter referred to as Photoshop) can be purchased from the App Store for 1080 yen per month.

　If you purchase a personal desktop application with the Creative Cloud plan, the iPad version is included.Install applications on multiple computers from one license and log in to up to two devices.In addition, Creative Cloud's Illustrator and Photoshop both have a "single plan" price of 2728 yen per month.Photoshop also has a "photo plan" of 1078 yen per month.

　After purchasing the desktop version, the application can be launched at once to one iPad or Mac, but for example, drawing roughs on the iPad and increasing the degree of perfection while packing the details on the Mac.The production work can be performed seamlessly.

Illustrator is easy to create "business card"

　At first, let's create business card data while utilizing Apple Pencil on the iPad version Illustrator.After launching the application, tap "Create" on the left side to select a canvas format.This time, it is a "business card" size of 55 width x 91mm in the top and bottom from the preset.

Select a business card -sized artboard from the creation of a new file to start files.

　The workspace of various tools on the left and layers and properties menus on the right are the same for the iPad version of Illustrator and Photoshop.The circle at the bottom left of the screen is called a "touch shortcut", and the "action" assigned for each tool while pressing and holding this circle.One tool has two types of actions, a primary and secondary, and presses a circle and drags it to the outer end to switch to the secondary.Here's the details, but if you can use this unique interface, you will be able to handle detailed creative work on the iPad, just like the desktop application on the iPad and Apple Pencil.

The iPad version Illustrator and Photoshop are a unique work style that moves Apple Pencil with your right hand while holding the "touch short cut" with the left finger.

　First, use the "figure" tool to draw objects such as square, triangle, and circles that become the base.With the object selected, you can apply the surface and line from the right property panel or change the size.The "layer" tool is a square icon lined up at the top of the right menu.When creating complex shapes and illustrations, you can manage and manage the layers for each object.

I will use the figure tool to assemble the base

　The fish illustration was shaped while drawing a bezier curve using the "pencil" tool on the left.If you tap the object with the "Direct Select" tool after drawing, you can move the anchor point to adjust the shape, or to cover the shape.

If you have Apple Pencil, you can enjoy drawing with a pencil tool intuitively.

I will draw a picture while adjusting multiple shapes using direct selection tools, bonds and alignment functions.

　Select the "Text" tool and then enter any character on the keyboard.If you sign up for the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription plan, more than thousands of fonts will be used for commercial and personal use.If you draw a path, select it with the text, and select "Pass upper character" in the right property panel, the string can be bent in an arch.

Adobe fonts that can use thousands of font data for free is convenient

If you use the pass character function, you can freely deform the arrangement of characters along the path.

　When drawing a continuous pattern or pattern like a fish "Uroko", the "repeat" function of the right property is convenient.After selecting an arbitrary repeat item after selecting an object that is the base point, dragging the handle can be repeatedly copied in a certain direction, or a mirroring can be reversed to the left and right.

Convenient repeat function when you want to make a continuous pattern pattern

Completed by placing the family crest made of repeat radial functions on the left and right of the fish

　At first, the interface using the iPad and Apple Pencil was a bit confusing, but when I got used to it, it was more interesting to draw the intended shape than drawing with a mouse in the desktop application.
