- [Instructor] Sometimes we need to do more than create basic shapes. Before Sketch, people had to understand the real details of vectors. But Sketch allows you to create vectors and manipulate objects in different ways. At the end of this video, you'll be able to understand how to work with objects in interesting ways. To start, let's try to create this cart icon. I've got an art board here. It's a Square, 96 pixels by 96 pixels so that you can practice with more precision. You can start by selecting the vector tool, which we can do using the V. If you hold down Shift, you will get a straight line and then you can angle slightly and then draw another straight line. Hit Enter and I'm going to bump up the size of the vector. I could do with having this line a little bit longer, so I'm pulling it. And now I'm going to draw the next line. So another V and I'm holding down Shift again. Bump up. And then, we can…
