Draw Inside Mode in Illustrator? Noooo! Make a Clipping Mask!
In this video, I explain why I NEVER use Draw Inside mode In Adobe Illustrator. If I need something clipped, I just make a clipping mask. Am I missing out? What do you think?
You'll learn how to use Draw Inside mode, and how to make a clipping mask. Plus, I demonstrate how to use Isolation mode to edit clipping masks in Adobe Illustrator.
Here's how to use Draw Inside: Select a path (or a compound path) and click the Draw Inside button at the bottom of the tool panel. Now, anything you create, shapes, drawings, etc., will be masked by that path until you click the Draw Normal button.
Ready to move or change the color of that object? It's a Clip Group, just like if you had started with a clipping mask, except you can only select it by clicking its foreground elements. This makes it harder, especially for pattern designers, to select motifs like the cherry or change the color of the background shape when working fast.
