3. Skew in Illustrator

If you’re used to working with Photoshop, you’ll probably know the ’skew’ transform option. Illustrator doesn’t have this option directly, but it can be done using the following steps:

• select the object you want to skew with the direct selection tool (A)
• select the free transform tool (E)
• press the shift key and hold it pressed
• while holding the shift key, click one of the corners, or a center point (if you want to skew the entire line)
• now press control key (while still holding the shift key and holding the mouse clicked) and move the mouse in the desired direction

This is on Windows. On Mac you would have to use the Apple key instead of control key.
