Now I’ll show you how to use Live Paint Bucket to color it. The Live Paint Bucket tool only works on live paint groups (objects), and live paint groups can only be paths, including shapes that are created from paths (pen tool paths, strokes, etc).įor example, I’ve created this simple drawing using the pen tool and paintbrush. Windows or other versions can look different. Note: all screenshots from this tutorial are taken from Adobe Illustrator CC 2022 Mac version. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use Live Paint Bucket and what to do when the Live Paint Bucket is not working. As a Graphic Designer and Logo Designer, I wanted to share this great hidden tool in illustrator that allows you to 'fill' in shapes in your vector artwork. You have to make your path or shapes into live paint groups. However, in Adobe Illustrator, there’s an important step that you have to take before using the Live Paint Bucket. Select the Color picker tool from the toolbar and click the gradient. Hold the Shift key and click the objects that you want to fill with same gradient. If you’re a Photoshop user, you’d find it so easy to use this tool because the live paint bucket in Adobe Illustrator is basically the same as the paint bucket tool in Photoshop, which you use for filling color. To do this, click the Selection tool from the toolbar. The other square, which has a black box in the middle, is for the outer edge of the object, known as the stroke. The Fill tool icon is the solid square of the two overlapping squares in the Tools panel. Meaning, Live Paint Bucket only works on closed paths or when there are small gaps between your paths. Click the 'Fill' icon in the Tools panel or press 'X' to activate the Fill tool. Powerful type tools offer the ability to fill objects with text, position text on. Live Paint Bucket is a convenient way to color your artwork if your artwork isn’t a sketch. For the designer, Illustrator is the preeminent choice for typography.
