In Illustrator, vector images are created using the vector tools. A vector image is a representation of an object or image that is composed of mathematical instructions, rather than pixels.
This makes it possible to create images that are incredibly precise and accurate, without the need for any pixelation or jagged edges.
To create a vector image in Illustrator, first choose the vector tools from the toolbar. You can then choose to create a vector image from a path or from an existing image.
Once you have chosen your type of vector image, you will need to select the objects you want to vector. You can do this by selecting the object or objects you want to vector, and then clicking on the vector button in the toolbar.
If you want to create a vector image from a path, you will first need to create the path in Illustrator. You can do this by drawing the path using the pencil tool, or by using the Illustrator vector tools.
Once you have created the path, you can select the path and click on the vector button in the toolbar.
If you want to create a vector image from an existing image, you will first need to open the image in Illustrator. You can do this by clicking on the image in the document window, or by selecting the image using the selection tool.
Once you have opened the image, you can select the area you want to vector, and then click on the vector button in the toolbar.
Once you have selected the area you want to vector, you will need to select the vector tools from the toolbar. You can do this by clicking on the vector button in the toolbar, or by using the keyboard shortcut of F9.
You will then need to choose the type of vector you want to create, and then click on the start button.
Once you have started the vector creation process, you will need to click on the stop button when you have finished. You can then save your vector image using the save button in the toolbar, or by using the keyboard shortcut of S.
You can also exit the vector creation process by clicking on the quit button in the toolbar.
Overall, creating a vector image in Illustrator is relatively simple. It is important to note, however, that you will need to be familiar with the vector tools in order to create accurate and precision images.
If you are new to vector images, I recommend checking out some of the free online resources available online, such as Learn Illustrator.
