00:01:21 in the bottom left corner of the appearance panel
00:01:23 to add a new fill and I'll go ahead and click on it there
00:01:26 to bring up a list of swatches.
00:01:28 And notice this last free swatch is a pattern called jive
00:01:32 which is included by default inside any basic RGB document.
00:01:36 So I'll go ahead and select it like so
00:01:38 and then I'll twirl this little fill open,
00:01:40 I'll click on the word opacity,
00:01:42 and I'll change the opacity value to 50 percent
00:01:45 and I'll press the enter key or the return key on the Mac
00:01:48 in order to create that unusual background.
00:01:50 Alright, now I'm going to switch back to the layers panel
00:01:53 and I'm going to click in the lock column right here
00:01:55 to lock that rectangle down so that it doesn't interfere
00:01:58 with otherwise coloring the artwork.
00:02:00 Alright, now I'll go ahead and zoom back in
00:02:02 and what we want to do is create a layer of fills
00:02:05 based on our open and closed path outlines right here.
00:02:09 And so I'm going to go ahead
00:02:10 and duplicate this drawing layer
00:02:12 by clicking the flyout menu icon
00:02:14 in the upper right corner of the layers panel
00:02:16 and choosing duplicate drawing.
00:02:18 And now I'll go ahead and drag the new layer down
00:02:21 so that it appears below the drawing layer
00:02:23 and I'll double-click on an empty portion of it
00:02:25 to bring up the layer options dialogue box
00:02:27 and I'm just going to call this layer fills
00:02:30 and I'm going to change its color to gold.
00:02:32 Alright, now I'll click okay to accept that change.
00:02:34 And I'll turn off the drawing layer
00:02:36 so that we can focus exclusively on this new fills layer.
00:02:40 Alright, now we need to get rid of a few shapes
00:02:42 so press the v key in order to
00:02:45 switch back to the black arrow
00:02:46 and now you can just sort of marquee around
00:02:49 to select all of these lines for example.
00:02:51 We don't need them.
00:02:52 So I'll go ahead and select them and delete them.
00:02:54 And also get rid of this path outline right there
00:02:57 these two extra pathlines inside the right foot
00:03:01 and these two inside the left foot as well.
00:03:03 I don't think these things are called feet, but still.
00:03:06 Now I'll go ahead and marquee these lines and delete them.
00:03:10 And I want these lines gone as well.
00:03:12 And now what you want to do is zoom in on the head
00:03:14 and marquee these lines right there in order to select them.
00:03:19 Do not select the mouth and don't select the eyes.
00:03:21 And then press the backspace key
00:03:22 or the delete key on a Mac to get rid of them.
00:03:24 Alright, now I'm going to select
00:03:26 the creature's carapace here.
00:03:27 And I'll go up to the edit menu
00:03:29 and choose the copy command.
00:03:30 Or you can press control c here on a PC
00:03:33 or command c on a Mac.
00:03:35 Alright, we're done using the pencil tool
00:03:37 so I'm going to go ahead and close this floating toolbar.
00:03:39 And also press control a or command a on a Mac
00:03:43 in order to select all the shapes like so
00:03:45 and I'm going to change their fills
00:03:48 by clicking on this first color swatch
00:03:49 to this medium shade of green which is R57 G181 and B74.
00:03:55 And that will go ahead and fill all the shades,
00:03:57 and that gives us a sense
00:03:58 for how things are going to come together.
00:04:00 Alright, now I'll shift click on both of the eye shapes
00:04:04 right here in order to deselect them.
00:04:07 And I'll go ahead and grab my shape builder tool.
00:04:09 And I want to change a setting here,
00:04:11 I don't want to replace this color,
00:04:12 so I'll just press the enter key or the return key on a Mac
00:04:15 to bring up the shape builder options.
00:04:17 And I'll change this pick color from setting to artwork
00:04:20 and then I'll go ahead and click okay.
00:04:22 Alright, now the easiest thing to do
00:04:24 is to press the shift key
00:04:25 and drag around all of these shapes like so.
00:04:29 Which in my case, produces this effect right here.
00:04:31 So again, we do not want those eye shapes to be selected.
00:04:35 Alright, now somehow we've got to fill in
00:04:37 this little area here and the easiest way
00:04:39 to do that is with an oval.
00:04:42 And so I'm going to go ahead and switch
00:04:44 from the rectangle tool to the ellipse tool
00:04:46 here inside the shape tool flyout menu.
00:04:49 And I'm going to drag to create an oval
00:04:50 that's about this big let's say.
00:04:52 And then I'll switch back to the black arrow tool
00:04:54 which of course I can get by pressing the v key
00:04:56 and I'll go ahead and drag this bottom point
00:04:58 until it snaps into alignment right there.
00:05:00 Alright, now I'll just go ahead
00:05:03 and zoom out a little bit here
00:05:04 and I will select these two shapes by marqueeing them
00:05:07 and then I'll switch back to the shapebuilder tool
00:05:09 and I'll just go ahead and drag through all of them like so
00:05:13 in order to finish off that effect.
00:05:14 Alright now you want to switch back to the black arrow tool
00:05:17 and I'm going to press control zero
00:05:18 or command zero on the Mac to zoom out.
00:05:20 And I'll return to the edit menu
00:05:22 and choose the paste in front command
00:05:24 or you can press control f or command f on a mac
00:05:27 to bring back that shell.
00:05:29 And now I'm going to change its color
00:05:31 to this darker shade of green
00:05:33 which is R0 G146 B69 in order to produce this effect.
00:05:38 Alright, now click on his outer eye shape right there
00:05:41 and I want it to be the same color.
00:05:42 So I'll go ahead and switch it as well.
00:05:45 So I'm changing the fill colors of course,
00:05:46 and then I'll click on the inner eye shape
00:05:48 right there if I can grab it.
00:05:50 And I will change it to white.
00:05:53 The fill, that is.
00:05:54 Alright, now we don't need any of these strokes,
00:05:56 so go ahead and press control a or command a on a Mac
00:05:59 to select all of these shapes,
00:06:01 and then click the second color swatch
00:06:02 up here in the control panel and change it to none
00:06:05 in order to get rid off all those strokes.
00:06:07 Alright, now let's bring it back
00:06:08 in the form of the drawing layer
00:06:10 which I will turn on here at the top of the layers panel
00:06:13 and then I'll go ahead and click off
00:06:15 the path outlines to deselect everything.
00:06:17 And that friends, is how you assign color
00:06:20 to your pencil tool art in part using the immense power
00:06:23 of the shape builder tool here inside Illustrator.
