As a professional illustrator, I’ve been working with Illustrator for almost thirty years and I still learnt some great tips from your videos. I could probably have saved myself about ten years of flaffing about if I’d seen them before. Love your work Michael. 👍🏻
Thanks, much appreciated! Not trying to sound like an advertiser, but you then might like my 10 essential tips video too. It's a bit old, but the points are still good little workflow helpers.
this is awesome!! i've been using illustrator for like 8 years and i was shocked that i didnt know like half of this stuff 😂im subscribing i need all your wisdom
super duper helpful! the accent drives home the fact that it’s PRECISE! seriously, this video in 11 min would’ve taken me at least 45 min to explain to a student. THANK YOU!!!
As beginner these 10 tips are not the tips, This is the guideline of the whole illustration process. You sort out all matters I struggle about the illustration process. Highly appreciate this, God bless! ♥♥♥
WOW. I'm SO glad your video showed up in my suggestions! I'm a long time Illustrator user and had no idea about some of these things. I love your art and I look forward to incorporating these techniques in my workflow!
I’m learning illustrator from a udemy course and subscribing to your channel to supplement my learning because THIS IS AWESOME!! My jaw literally dropped when I saw the tip about separate windows. Whaaaat??? Thanks for your videos and keep up the amazing work! 🙏🙌
Thank you so much for this tutorial! THIS is the best tutorial that I have come across on TH-cam, I have watched others for hours and they've never been as straight forward as this one.
@@Juicefoozle You're more than welcome, I will use these technics to create my NFT collection. Please make some more tutorials, I will happily join your patreon!
Always love revisiting this channel for refamiliarizing myself with illustrator after a hiatus. The coloring portion came in clutch for a class as I was never formally introduced to the program. Been searching for a video that showcases it for a couple of hours with no luck. This is the first video that actually shows how to color your outlines that I have come across
I used this again tonight and I wanted to thank you for being such a rock star tutorial maker. Michael, you are extremely talented and on top of that able to explain concepts in very simple ways. I appreciate it very much.
Wow. I've been using Illustrator for years but had never looked into the line width tool - thank you so much for showing this. I love your level of explanation of your workflow. Your style has reignited my inner illustrator. Subscribed.
Ooooh! Number 9! Thank you! I was getting so frustrated with my lines changing shape when I tried to paint. This solved it aaand with color on another layer. Yay!
Great follow up to your previous Illustrator tips video! There were some things in the last video that I wish were more detailed but you made sure to cover them in this one. Well done and thanks for sharing your workflow 👍
Thank you very much, it's always hard trying to recreate the success of that one video, so it’s awesome to read that you find it to be a great follow up. 🙏

These are the type of tips I have been looking for, for years. Thank you so much. You are the best !
Oh man, I just found your tuts and I have to say I'm really sad you're not doing tuts anymore. I've learned more in this one video than countless others I've seen online. You also have a very concise way of describing what you're doing and how to do it. Also, you've got a smooth voice!
Thank you very much. I am considering new ones once in a while, but since I'm not freelancing anymore I just have constant lack of time and energy. Anyways, still means a lot to me to read comments like yours.
Step 8, you can actually double-click on the line with the width tool and it will bring up a panel where you can set the width of that segment. The default for it is the width where you double-clicked on the line. (instead of eyeballing it)
Thanks a billion. I had those same bullshit white lines whenever I tried to color anything, and changing the mode into RGB helped. You are a lifesaver :)
This is great - Ive been a working creative for years but you do get stuck in your ways and its nice to see little tips and tricks to help improve your workflow! Subscribed 👍
Wow. This video was really helpful. Other videos like this often tell us something we already know or is useful to the point that you use it once in few months. Thank you so much!
Hi there just want to let you know that when you work in CMYK the little white border you see on everything is not a display error but more of an auto stroke that allows some room between different colored elements because other wise if they overlap during the printing process they will mix and create a possibly undesirable effect.
The color error you described is because, by default in CMYK mode, the "black" swatch isn't true black. To adjust, open up the CMYK color panel and pull the sliders all the way to the right. That'll make it go away and you'll be using true black instead of a tinted RGB black. Also, to change the settings in the default swatch, double click the color swatch and adjust the sliders there. Loving the content!
Hey the CMYK antialiasing are pretty usefull when you design prints, this mean you need to add some bleeding to those shapes to make sure every color pass will fill correctly!! but I understand you, for sketching its annoying :P
1:30 - I prefer to double-click on the Layer Thumbnail (the square preview icon to the left of a layer's name) to bring up the Layer Options dialog. That way, there is no guess-work about where the "center of the space" between the Layer Name and the Target Icon is or accidentally entering "Layer Name Edit" mode, because you missed the "hot spot" or the layer name is so long that it goes all the way to the target icon (or perhaps even gets cut off to an ellipsis before the target icon) leaving no empty room to double-click in the (non-existent) space between them. The Layer Thumbnail is always on the left, always present (unless you turn them off), always the same size, and always brings up Layer Options when double clicked. If you make your layers large using the Layer Panel Options, it's even easier to (not miss when you) double click on the Thumbnail on High DPI and/or small diagonal monitors.
you all prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Lian Dario I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
How slower do you want it ? He literally took you step by step over how to do the coluring, even told you the keyboard shortcut in full details. There is literally nothing else he can see about the coloring process. If you are struggling following this level of basic stuff, even with clear instructions, the problem lies within your comprehensation on Adobe Illustrator and you should first be looking over a very basic beginers guide into AI, so you can learn the layout and what everything does within the program. This level of thing you should not be doing right now, if you struggle to use the program. What you are doing now is basically trying to learn to swim and throwing yourself in the deep water, before you even have the ability to crawl. The problem lies within yourself, not the tutor. Now you understand a little more on whats blocking your progress and a random stranger has been kind enough to hold your hand and tell you what you need to fix (learnig AI before using it ). Now you can easily correct the error and come back to the tutorials much later once you have learn Adobe AI inside and out. You can't learn a process, before first learning how to use the tools. That would be like a Construction worker trying to build a wall, but doesn't yet know how to use a trowel or how to mix cement. Once you master your tools, then you will have the knowledge to create what is in your imagination and also following other peoples tutorials. Hope this information serves you well.
@@Juicefoozle HAHAHA man I Hope I did not give you the impression that I was a MEME account! I really really appreciate your videos!Keep up the awesome stuff!
I have been playing with Illustrator for some a months now, but I haven't been able to dig in illustrations. I was too afraid to try it. Because of your video, I just created my first one :) Good job!

Some great tips right there. Thanks bro! And amazing art skills! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Also, as a newbie to TH-cam, I wanted to say kudos on putting this video together. I don’t think many understand how long it takes to put videos together! 🍻
OMG ! thank you so much for uploading this kinda video, this really helps me to start drawing in illustrator.. Hope you can upload more tips like this and more motion graph that use AE ~
@@ZaidanMhmood I always did back in freehand mx days, but always found the way ai handles it pretty clumsy and inconvenient, might give it another try now, after your recommendation. Cheers.
Let's create something I see. Am not really recommending it. Same as you I found it clumsy, so I was wondering what you think about it. There should be a way to automate the pathfinder step though in the way you showed here. I will see if I can use actions to make a shortcut for that.

Thanks for the motivation. I wasn't sure if I could do it, but I might try it eventually.
I have been complaining about not being able to use two windows and its been here the whole time. Smh. Great video!
😹 where did you look for it?
@@Juicefoozle Same as Photoshop: Window > Arrange.
Also: Do you have any knowledge of the white thin line that appears? I'm not sure if its anti-aliasing or what.
Hi there just want to let you know that when you work in CMYK the little white border you see on everything is not a display error but more of an auto stroke that allows some room between different colored elements because other wise if they overlap during the printing process they will mix and create a possibly undesirable effect.
