Rocky! Your videos are a treasure! After watching your videos, I was able to land my first freelance work doing a logo, business card, and t shirt! Thank you for sharing, and inspiring :)

@RockyRoark 7 лет назад

That is so so so great to hear man! I'm glad that I can help you land your first gig and I hope you get many many more to come!!!!

@InsaneXade 3 года назад

Thank you! I always did like the blob brush but filling it in was such a pain in the neck. Now I just outline, select the inner, and delete, easy as that! You really helped streamline my production! you're a great teacher but you ramble on and on at the beginning so much that I skipped to the action after a minute.

@vickipeters5217 2 года назад

This was great! Started to use illustrator for my illustrations, you made it very easy to understand!:)

@lovein8bit 7 лет назад

This was such a great tutorial for me! I've just started using illustrator for my illustrations and didn't even know that the blob brush tool existed. Thank you!

@RockyRoark 7 лет назад

You're so very welcome! Let me know if there are any tutorial videos you'd like to see in the near future! (:

@SpookerMovie 5 месяцев назад

You EFFIN ROCK Rocky! I've drawn decent stupid cartoons all of my life. And made a career doing "graphic design" CPG packaging. With a little practice, I bet I can actually be a bona fide illustrator. Multiple times as I'm taking notes I catch myself saying "Holy F*CK this kid is brilliant!!!" Hope some of my client's will say the same thing about this old man. Rocky showed me the way - bestest so far. Peace.

@mrzachblk 6 лет назад

Great, its a wonderful tech nick to fill bigger area with Blob brush, the most important is I don't want to redraw the shape once I draw

Great video, nice mix of speedy and interesting, but also covering everything necessary. Love the shades tip, I always used a tone of the background colour and opacity, so I'll be trying your method out in future. :)

@eelettricblue 5 лет назад

Hello! Thank you for this video. How did you the drawing? With pencil tool or pen tool, maybe? Thank you for the answer!

@RockyRoark 5 лет назад

I actually did it with the brush tool (:

@NoraEtoile 6 лет назад

Hi thanks for your wonderful video! I have a question regarding the blob brush fill and stroke, which one do you use to change a swatch color? the fill for the background color and the stroke for outline? correct? But how do you do it? Select your swatch color first then, proceed to your selection of fill or stroke depending on what is needed? I always get them confused and would love some clarification. Again, thanks for your video!

@jesuslimbertclarosclaros8842 5 лет назад

Thank you

@bgmariano2003 4 года назад

Thank you for the tutorial, but I have problem, its not working when I tried to color inside a shape(circle) the color its not automatically filling inside , I mean it should just fill the color inside once you brushed on it right? It should go on the back of the circle, mine its overlapping when I tried to brush color inside the circle. Please help..thank you in advance.

@jayjayjaythebrand 7 лет назад

Awesome video man. Do you think you could ink a tad bit more complex character in real time? Maybe link Wind Waker Link or a chibi Spider-Man?

@RockyRoark 7 лет назад

Hey first off! Thanks for watching! I think I could definitely do that in a future video! (:

@jayjayjaythebrand 7 лет назад

wow thanks for the quick reply lol, and awesome! Looking forward too it!

@funforvictoria4229 4 месяца назад

Hi! I can't make it to work with a mouse. Is there anything I can do to make it work?

@keil8560 3 года назад

Mine keeps going back to a fill and stroke and it's not saving the varying size and pressure

@yoitsjust773 3 года назад

Can i use a different kind of brush (like with texture) using blob brush? Will it still do the same just like what the calligraphy brush do?

@gebbygebbers 2 года назад

To my lost comrades (who need a quick search result)! Shift + E for an eraser that is not restricted to strokes, paths or fill shapes. Works just like a classic eraser brush! (Remember to select the thing you're trying to clean up, otherwise it will affect the rest of the drawing) Shift + B for the blob brush tool, B for regular paintbrush!

@mimib1583 5 лет назад

@RockyRoark 5 лет назад

@@RockyRoark thank you so much:) i have been trying to figure this out.

@benpics 7 лет назад

Hi there. You mention in your intro that you use an iPad pro with Apple Pencil to do your illustrations. But you seem to be using an Mac version of illustrator to demonstrate the blob brush. I'm a bit confused. Are you using your Apple Pencil, on an iMac?

@RockyRoark 7 лет назад

Hey there! So I'm using my iMac paired with my iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. In order to do this I use Astropad Studio which basically mirrors my iMac onto the iPad Pro. (:

@benpics 7 лет назад

Interesting. I'll look into that. Thanks!

How do you use your iPad with illustrator? I have a pc not a Mac and an iPad Pro

@tanjinnaem5257 4 года назад

why you used #A6307f color for shade? you can use other one for shade but why this. any specific reasons?

@simisanoo5382 5 лет назад

Hey cool tut. Just a question since it's my 2nd day with the tablet and illustrator. For the black outlines of your character, is that just the default pressure sensitive pencil or is it a specific brush preset? Thanks, Looks really cool!

@splunge743 8 месяцев назад

A brush used for calligraphy or calligraphic, is pronounced --- Kali-grafic.

@luisegrice9039 7 лет назад

I'm wondering what program are you using to record and zoom into what you're explaining Rocky?

@FrancescaCostyea 6 лет назад

It looks like sometimes you colour outside of the lines, but it still manages to end up all within the lines, I saw this happening a bit with the eyes. How did you do that? Apologies if already answered.

@RockyRoark 6 лет назад

So what you're seeing there is the brush is getting super close to the edge of the stroke but not going all the way to the edge. Since the stroke is above it its not showing the white, but if we probably zoomed in really close there would be a little bit of white showing. Sometimes we have to go back through and clean up the illustration a bit when we're finished depending on what the illustration is going to be used in. (: Does that make sense?

@FrancescaCostyea 6 лет назад

yes thankyou :)

@NimMortensen 4 года назад

Hov often do you make new layer. I am new in this

@RockyRoark 4 года назад

Not often believe it or not, I don't use a ton of layers in Adobe Illustrator.

@VipulSodhi 5 лет назад

how to change the brush colour? with keyboard shortcut

@RockyRoark 5 лет назад

What I'm doing in there is pressing the "X" key which just allows me to toggle between my stroke color and fill colors. (:

@irenebirgita 4 года назад

When you add fill colour, did you do in new layer ?

@marygartner5195 4 года назад

irene birgita I noted that he did not use a separate layer when he filled color in using the “color behind mode”. Once he finished his base color he locked that layer, then created a separate layer to add his shadows using the multiply blend mode with an opacity of 35%. I’m learning too. Correct me if I missed something.

@jenwu636 4 года назад

thanks for the tutorial! I am having a hard time using the bold tool for inking because it leaves lots little lines for clean up... is this normal? or if there is anyway I can improve this? I took a screen shot in the outline mode : imgur.com/a/tKWz2px

@marygartner5195 4 года назад

Jennifer Wu he used the pencil and smooth tool to clean up the blob messes. He said he often uses the pencil to go back in and edit areas where needed, like gaps in the blob brush lines.
