Creating a clipping mask
The Layers panel lets you create clipping masks to control whether artwork on a layer (or in
a group) is hidden or revealed. A
clipping mask
is an object or group of objects that masks
(with its shape) artwork below it in the same layer or sublayer, so that only artwork within
the shape is visible. In
Lesson 14
,
“
Using Illustrator CC with Other Adobe Applications
,”
you will learn about creating clipping masks that are independent of the Layers panel.
Now you'll create a clipping mask for the pattern for each shirt. As you create the clipping
mask, you'll learn about working with Isolation mode so that you can focus on specific
parts of the artwork.
1.
