Using the Shape Builder tool, you’ll start out by creating a more complex bird shape from a series of simpler shapes like circles and squares. This tool allows you to visually and intuitively merge, delete, fill, and edit overlapping shapes and paths directly in the artwork.

The first method you will learn for combining shapes involves working with the Shape Builder tool ( ). In this section, you’ll explore a few of the more widely used methods for combining shapes. The resulting paths or shapes differ depending on the method you use to combine the paths. A lot of the time, creating more complex shapes from simpler shapes can be easier than trying to create them with drawing tools like the Pen tool. In Illustrator, you can combine vector objects in a variety of ways. Position the pointer over the blue anchor point on the path on the left side (see the figure), and when you see the word “anchor,” click to cut the path at that point.

With the shape selected, in the Tools panel, click and hold down the Eraser tool ( ), and select the Scissors tool ( ).
