Create Easy Long Shadows | Adobe Illustrator Tutorial 

An easy fix for the problem with the sharp edges after blending: -First of all I recommend using a larger blend distance like 5-20 pixels - Now after blending, and getting the white text in front of the blue shadow, expand the blend (Object, Blend, Expand) - Now use pathfinder to unite the drop shadow into one shape - Use the pen tool to delete the extra unneeded points by pressing on them -- the reason we had a large blend distance is to make this stage easier; if it was only small there would be lots of points to delete at this stage.

These 2 minute tip videos are so good. I just found your channel and it’s beyond helpful. No fluff. Just good vibes and practical info

thanks

Awesome thank you!!

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL!

Appreciated 😎

i did not understand how did the text showed in white?? bracket thing didn't work at all or i wasn't able to follow, can you help

does this only work with text? I imported a PNG of a logo and tried it and when i went to object/blend/make, the make button wasn't active and could be used...

I am unable to create a shadow using distance, however I can create it when I go to object >blend... The rest of the options, nothing. what am I missing here....

When i try to "drag" the shadow, I end up just moving it over. Also, when I try to scale it down it makes the entire shadow smaller instead of making one side smaller. Any idea what I'm missing? Thanks for the awesome tutorials!
