Basic tools of Illustrator

Here are a few of the main tools used in Adobe Illustrator and what they do:

Brush:

The brush tool is the simplest but very important of tools. It's basic function is to freely draw lines on the artboard. The width, pattern, and many other options can be customized.

Pen:

The pen tool is like the brush in many ways but instead of clicking and dragging the line anywhere, the user clicks one point, then again at another point. A line forms between the two points and it can be curved if desired.

Selection:

If you need more space to work in, this tool allows the user to select previously drawn elements and move them anywhere no the screen. This helps with alignment, layout, and composition.

Type tool:

If a user wants to have text in their creation, the text tool is perfect. it allows the user to add an area of text anywhere. The text can be colored and the font can be altered.

hope this helps.
