- [Instructor] As an alternative
to using Illustrators 3D tools.
Here's another way of adding dimension to your characters.
Start by converting the type two outlines
right click on the letter, create outlines.
Now I am going to make sure
that the fill and stroke are both set
to numb and then switch to my outline view mode
I'll zoom in nice and large
and make a duplicate
of the letter form holding down the option
or alt key and the shift key as I drag away from it.
I now need to create some connecting lines.
Incidentally, I have my smart guides turned on,
and then at the top and the bottom to close up these areas.
Okay, now I want to do
is select everything.
We can switch back to preview
I'll come and get my shape builder tool
and choose from the colors on my swatches,
and then define the segments
with this very small segment top and bottom.
You might want to zoom
in to make sure that that gets included.
