Working on a small scale – spot illustrations for instance – it makes sense to keep the shapes and lines as sharp and straight as possible, if only for printing arguments. It depends on the subject matter to decide if squares and circles are sufficient in telling the story visually or if I feel the need to bring in a bit of hand drawn, organic elements.

Save yourself some work with repeats and patterns: radial repeat, grid repeat, and mirror repeat.

Select an object with the Selection or Direct selection tools to change its opacity or duplicate, delete, or arrange it in the Common actions bar that appears beneath the artwork.

Unique to iPad, primary and secondary touch shortcuts add extra functionality to all kinds of tools.

The new Taskbar contains commonly used features like Shape builder, alignment, pathfinders, text features like create outlines, and new features like repeats.The toolbar, Layers panel, and Properties panel are similar to what you find on desktop.That makes them accessible on iPad and desktop without saving or exporting.
