    Definitely method 3. It's more flexible where you could create any type of shapes to customize your own texture, more options such as adjusting the brush's properties and to save it for future reuse . Thank you

    Literally just blew my mind. I love Illustrator to bits, but have always disliked the fact that you can't get the same yummy textures as inside Photoshop. But you're telling me that after all this time, making projects for YEARS, that there's 3 EASY WAYS to get that toothy grit? I am LITERALLY SHOOK 😲 Thank you so much oh my god

    • @CosminSerbanDesign
      @CosminSerbanDesign  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      means that you probably have more anchors than your computer is comfortable with hehe, if you're using brushes try to select, then go to object > expand appearance and then from Pathfinder > Unite - this will create one shape that you can then move more easy. If you still have a lot of paths, go and find Path > Simplify and that should help. Hope this works 😅
