With technique 3 you can use the group selection tool to move the shadows without having to go into isolation mode 😊 great video, very handy!

Been following your art for a bit and have learned so much through your videos! Illustrator can be daunting, but you have a great way of explaining everything in an easy to understand way. Love watching your full process. Thanks for the amazing art and videos!

[@codyabanks]

Ayyy that makes me so happy to hear that my explanations are clear. Sometimes I wonder if I'm making any sense lol

[@oliverpage8619]

Love these tutorials! I know you make your characters straight from Illustrator but would be great to have a video on tips for character design, something for beginners who are struggling to draw

[@codyabanks]

Great idea. I will do this soon!

Have you ever thought of doing live streams?

[@LeStudioDeVictor]

How do you make such clean lines/curves with the pencil ? Just talent or something to modify in the pencil settings ?

[@codyabanks]

You check out my master the pencil tool video for how to adjust settings. But really it’s just a matter of taking your time and making adjustments as you go.
