Tutorial 23

Create objects

FreeHand offers a variety of tools for drawing and modifying objects. You’ll work

with some of these tools now, as you create the art that completes the eye on the

sarcophagus.

Zoom in on your document

Before you begin, you’ll want to zoom in on your document to have a larger area

on which to draw.

1 In the Tools panel, click the Zoom tool.

2 On page 1 of your FreeHand document, click the eye of the sarcophagus on the

left side of the document repeatedly, until the Magniﬁcation pop-up menu

indicates a magniﬁcation of 800%.

Note: You can also type a value in the Magnification text box.

Select stroke and fill colors

To specify the color of the path that you will draw, you use the Stroke inspector.

1 To open the Stroke inspector, choose Window > Inspectors > Stroke.

2 In the Stroke Type pop-up menu, verify that Basic is selected.

3 In the Stroke Width pop-up menu, select Hairline.
