Using the Width tool
Not only can you adjust the stroke weight and the alignment of the stroke, but you can also
alter regular stroke widths either by using the Width tool ( ) or by applying width profiles
to the stroke. This allows you to create variations along the stroke of a path.
Next, you will use the Width tool to create some curtains in the window.
1. Choose View > Fit Artboard In Window. Select the Zoom tool ( ) in the Tools panel,
and then click the white window rectangle three times, slowly, to zoom in.
2. With the Selection tool ( ), press the Shift key and click the white window rectangle,
the gray rounded rectangle beneath it, and the brown rectangle, to select them all.
Choose Object > Lock > Selection to temporarily lock them.
3. Select the Line Segment tool ( ) in the Tools panel, and position the pointer at the top
of the white rectangle, away from the left edge. Hold down the Shift key, and drag
straight down, snapping the end of the line to the bottom of the white rectangle. Release
the mouse button, and then release the modifier key.
