Thank you so much, this was the most informative tutorial on layers, all the others I saw missed some little hints that really help on being more efficient

@SusanRutledge 2 года назад

You are welcome Elsa. I'm glad you found this tutorial helpful. I believe understanding layers is one of the basics of Illustrator, but it's often overlooked. I rarely to anything in Illustrator without using the layers panel. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

You answered exactly the question I had, and more clearly than any of the other 4 videos about layers that I watched this morning -- Thank you!! Some day, I'd LOVE a tutorial about how you made those clouds in the background sky!

@timothymachiridza8125 Год назад

@@SusanRutledge I definitely loved it. Liking is an understatement. I agree with you absolutely on understanding the layers. I have watched a couple tutorials on that but yours is by far the best.Thanks a lot for the videos. I have question in the pen too. I was tracing some templates in illustrator with the pen tool and as i did part of the image I was tracing got deleted. Why is that? And how can i keep the pen tool from deleting part of on an image during tracing.

@SusanRutledge Год назад

@@timothymachiridza8125 place the image you’re tracing on a separate layer underneath the one you are creating. You know how to do that now!

@timothymachiridza8125 Год назад

@@SusanRutledge Thank you Susan. Will do that

@SusanRutledge 6 месяцев назад

@@timothymachiridza8125 I just came across your question from 7 months ago - I'm sorry I missed it before; you probably have your answer by now. I don't have any idea why part of the image was being lost while you were tracing. Be sure the item you're tracing is on a different layer. I would also lock it, which should prevent it from being changed in any way. Also, make sure you don't have any fill color selected (even white), or it will APPEAR part of what you're tracing is being hidden.

This is super-thank you! I'm curious about the significance and/or difference between the radio button (where you click to target a layer) and the little square that appears to the right of it. I understand that the square shows a layer is selected... so what does the radio button mean? Can you have one without the other? Why have two different icons/indicators?

@SusanRutledge 2 месяца назад

You'll find Illustrator often has multiple methods to accomplish the same task. However, one of the things you can do with the little square (even with all layers closed in the Layers Panel) is select an item on the artboard, which will add a little box to the whole layer it's in...and you can drag that little box to another layer, effectively moving the selected item. I actually use this every now and then when I find my project is getting so detailed I need to add some layers and break things up. That's the only difference I know of.

@timothymachiridza8125 Год назад

Hi Susan. Thanks for the amazing Tutorial. Can you please do a video on the Pen Tool ?

@SusanRutledge Год назад

Here you go ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GRArE4sB4MI.html. I have 70+ tutorials. You can type in a tool or topic and my name, and perhaps you'll find what you need. After you watch that video, I recommend watching my tutorial on the Curvature Tool (similar but different than the Pen Tool) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zHV_kbRRA00.html.

@@SusanRutledge, Thanks so much Susan. I will delve right into them. I am still learning the ropes. But the one tutorial on layers you covered is very insightful. ❤️👏
