Give Your Bug Some Boots

Give Your Bug Some Boots

Before we give Ms.Ladybug her new boots, she needs some legs!

Select the Pen tool. From the Tool Options palette select Mode:Draw Point to Point, Connect Segments UNchecked, Line solid, width 4, anti-alias OFF (for clean straight lines). Colors: Black for stroke and none for fill.

Click and drag the Pen tool to draw 3 short strokes for the 3 legs. After drawing the each leg, click Apply on the Tool Options palette to create each leg as a separate shape.

Leave enough room for boots in between each leg.

On the Tools palette, select Rectangle from the Preset Shape flyout menu.

Tool Options: Rectangle icon should be highlighted. Line: solid, width 2, anti-alias ON. Colors: Black for stroke and blue for fill.

Draw just 1 rectangle for the first boot. Click Apply.

We need to do some node editing to make this shape look more like a boot! Then we can copy and paste finished boot onto the other 2 legs.
