In this tutorial we're going to draw from this drawing that I've made. Just to make it simple, so we can all follow along. What I'd like to do is, in Illustrator we're going to go to 'File', 'New'. Pick a document size, I'm going to start with 'Print'. I'm going to use 'US Letter', I'm going to use 'Landscape'. I'm not going to change anything else, just going to click 'Create'. I'm going to save it, so I'm going to go to 'File', 'Save'. What we'll do for this class, is I'll put everything on my Desktop, you do the same. I'm going to make a new folder on my Desktop. I'm going to call this one 'Illustrator Class Files', and that's all. We're going to stick everything from this class. Let's call this one 'Sleeping Fox'. Let's click 'Save'. Let's leave everything as the default.

[@chartamad6595]

EDIT: In case someone has the same problem, I found the solution: change Essentials to Essentials classic and the tool should work. Great tutorial, thank you :) I just have one problem: my line segment tool is greyed out. Anyone knows how I can activate it? Many thanks.

[@danielayala3170]

what if I can't find the properties panel?

[@QEDFitness]

2 years later, but if you're still looking, go to "Window" at the top toolbar and make sure "properties" is ticked

[@danielbreaden8051]

3 years later@@QEDFitness

[@mohammadshahidshikalgar7584]

How to get the properties panel? From 2018 properties panel was introduced! I'm stuck at scale and stroke and effects,since I don't have properties panel. I'm currently using Illustrator 2015

[@dominicbadal5680]

Abit late maybe but, on the top bar Effect>Distort and Transform > Transform and check the box there for scale stroke and effects
