Have a great weekend and remember to check out more Illustrator content across the multiple playlists that I have on my channel homepage, summing up to around 6 years of content! Also check out a new and upcoming channel, Todoroho Studio, who gave me inspiration for a part of todays video. Peace out

Great to hear!

@graphicallydeb9897 Год назад

I was thinking that same thing. I knew I had put in a lot of learning, experimenting and had expanded my skills.. the exciting thing is - when you know more, you understand more and you can learn even more. And that learning happens faster and can inspire more experimentation. I love Illustrator… I wonder if I’ll ever love InDesign.. lol

@brainiac31K Год назад

The first tips after the drop shadow tip, which was mind blowing in itself, I use all the time BUT the snap to artboard tips was a revelation. I’ve had enough problems setting the edges of objects to the artboard to make this a really helpful tip. Thanks!

@nowrinsiddique4574 Год назад

I started watching you when I just started my career as a graphic designer. I remember watching your portfolio videos and it blew my mind at that time. now that I have come this far I look at your videos in a different way. Now I see your content making skill is amazing. how you incorporate the simplest tools and techniques that all illustrator might use everyday, in a innovative way you make it look all dreamy and which is what I love about your video. Shoutout to your content creating. Love you.

@SatoriGraphics Год назад

wow thanks for this really neat comment. I can see how your creative mind has evolved, and you do seem to have a passion for design. Thanks :)

@t20sgrunt36 Год назад

Even better for shadows. Live trace the hand and pull the traced hand, then run through the gradient & blur options.

@SatoriGraphics Год назад

That's a nice technique too, thanks

@smailhamza7251 Год назад

yes ... and draw the object just roughly freehand because we will give it some blur no need to go into details

@keithartworker Год назад

Great stuff. I'm kinda new here. I have made my f12 key mapped to "offset path" and use it to create all kinds of title safe zones or inner text boxes. My f11 key is set to outline stroke. I agree about HSB, it should be the color mixer default in my opinion. Making those subtle changes in saturation or the H or B sliders is like working with paint. (can''t say that about rgb sliders). I look forward to watching more!

@jin_nguyen Год назад

the first tip, scale tool, I just make a shape with whatever width, duplicate it 4 time, put them edge to edge, then select all and use normal mouse scale the whole thing to the width of the artboard. Bam. 4 shapes, each have 25% width of the original artboard :D

@drew9453 Год назад

That's exactly what I do for multiple shapes I want at the same width/height. So much less clicking. It's cool to know the other options are there. But sometimes, those options actually make the process longer.

@ElohAraphel Год назад

Or just draw a rectangle, split it into grid of 4 columns, and scale it to the shape you desire.

@5even5eals Год назад

With color point selected on a gradient you can sample it with shift-click using eyedropper on the go, without all this hex copy-paste hassle.

@janoseki Год назад

just started learning illustrator recently and im loving your tutorials. Cheers man

@johnstanowski9489 Год назад

For the hand shadow: actually, I would apply the sampled background color to the dark end of the shadow gradient as well. Then use Hue to darken it to get to that asphalt black. That doesn't seem very useful here because your BG seems to be white. However, if the background had any color to it at all, the above method would work much better. The midrange on a gradient tends to produce color which doesn't seem to belong. Of course, you could always just use black and white and then use the Multiply feature in the Opacity panel to force all colors of the gradient to properly interact with the BG.

@pateljiagar Год назад

Hi, You don't need to copy the color code and paste. In the gradient bar... bottom left corner you will see the color picker tool....this will save your few sec. in the gradient slider you have to choose which color you want to change, select the color, select color picker from down side of gradient bar, choose color you want, and done...

@SatoriGraphics Год назад

kudos thanks

@makeyourfaith Год назад

or select the color you want to change in the gradient bar, hit 'I', then Shift-click any color and it will become a color in your gradient

@shaynoobie5707 Год назад

This is really helpful, especially I started making design again after a long break

@vladyslav.yavorenko Год назад

You actually don't need a Scale Tool for making a quarter of width. You just can write after your width value in the Transform panel /4, for example "1000 px /4" and press Enter, so Illusthator will calculate this new value and write 250 px instead of 1000/4

@TrollProductionsMC Год назад

yeh it's much faster, even though there is a lot of use for the transform panel.

@mjhonsun Год назад

Or make one rectangle, drag out 3 more copies (snapped to each other), and then select and drag all 4 of them until it snaps to the width of the canvas.

@itailu Год назад

or split into grid with 0 spacing

@tinderbox218 Год назад

The actual workaround for the unfavorable edges when working with raster effects... Effects > Document Raster Settings You should see "Add: 36px Around Object" under the Options pane 36px is the default, try higher (maybe 100px) and the edges should disappear

@SatoriGraphics Год назад

I've mentioned this many many times on the channel (this video from 4 years ago ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u4TT1yBJZIs.html ) but it doesn't always work that well. For instance, when you have a very large design it won't actually help that much. Feathering works best.

@dandee28 Год назад

can you suggest how I can learn illustrator from beginner to advanced? and where did you learn it?

@drew9453 Год назад

I've been working with Illustrator for almost a decade now, and the best method for me has literally been through watching videos just like this. I think most people learning on their own tend to learn better as they simply do it more. Anytime I have an idea or problem in mind while creating, I simply search for that particular solution, and over time you eventually pick up on enough to create efficiently. You also start to find out that the problems you run into are the same ones over and over. So once you learn it, the instincts to find better or more efficient ways to fix them become easier. A lot of these types of videos will also give you little nuggets in between that are just as or even more helpful than what the video is mainly about. I would also suggest learning, and practicing shortcut keys. Once I got a hang of working better with both hands, my workflow increased tremendously. A lot of holding "ALT" and "SHIFT" lol. Then of course "COMMAND/CONTROL +" shortcuts. Honestly, no better way to learn than repetition. I also, personally, worked at a garment print shop, where I knew very little... or at a slightly intermediate level. Never even really touched Illustrator. Mostly photoshop, and even fireworks (took one class in high school) Other designers at the shop were always helpful. But I picked up a lot there as well. Simplifying my work space, file organization, learning different format files for different applications... there is a lot that you can pick up just by being in spaces that utilize these tools consistently.

And no I don’t work for them, just love learning more on how to better use it. Which is why I watched your video. Felt I could learn from you and use that knowledge in Pixelmator Pro.

The best way to avoid the cut edge in any effect is: go to "adjust effects..." (it's the third option in the menu) then the option that says and that's it, there's no reason add another effect, you can also increase the resolution of the effects right there!
