My skills in Adobe Illustrator have improved over the last few weeks, and now I am able to make better art overall and I want to learn how to use new tools to improve my skills even more. The two tools I researched were the Rotate Tool and the Perspective Grid. The Rotate Tool can be accessed with 'R' on the keyboard, and it is an easy tool to use. Simply select what you are trying to rotate first, select the Rotate Tool, and click and drag to rotate your object, like you are using the Group Selection Tool. The next tool, the Perspective Grid, is another simple tool. The keyboard shortcut for this tool is Shift+P. This tool brings up lines over your art that help you draw with perspective. You can click and drag to move the lines around and you can use other tools without accidentally selecting the perspective lines. To turn off the Perspective Grid, you can click the 'X' on the icon that will appear once it is turned on.
