How to randomly fill a space with dots in Illustrator | Astute Graphics Quick Tip #Shorts

In this quick tip we’re going to show you how to randomly fill a space with dots using the Space Fill Panel, part of the ColliderScribe plugin. ⚪️ To start with we’re going to draw out the shape we want to fill. I’m using DynamicSketch which is quick and easy to use. ⚪️ Make one dot and color it white. ⚪️ Then select both the dot and the path we just created, and head over to the Space Fill panel. ⚪️ Hit the Make button. This has filled the space with multiple copies of the dot. ⚪️ If they are too large you can resize all filling art. ⚪️ Select the Vary Size option to vary your objects up to 2 times the orignal. ⚪️ You can increase the number of copies, and even if you change the shape of the path it will auto update and fill that space. ⚪️ If you want to make a second SpaceFill object the panel will use the same settings as before, but you can easily adjust and play around with all the settings to fit your project Learn to love Illustrator with our FREE 7 day trial: Sign up here for our LIVE webinars: Join our SLACK Community here: For more details about Astute Graphics’ plugins for Adobe Illustrator CC and our Annual Service Plan, please visit Subscribe to our channel: Follow us on Twitter: Like us on Facebook: Our story so far...
