As always a great video for us! Thanks Dansky💯
As always, something for everyone. Great video!
Love how snappy and to the point all your examples always are. Great video as always!
Great tips as always, Dan! I always feel validated when I already know them, but even then you'll still find a way to showcase a nuance of said tip that I hadn't thought of. 👏👏👏
helpful video. many thanks Dan.
great shit man! i really needed this :)
Fantastic video presentation and thank you so very much for making and uploading. I always struggled with Adobe Illustrators more advanced techniques, but am gradually making progress thanks to your wonderful video's. Thank you so very much:) 😊
I WISH I KNEW ABOUT THIS DRAW INSIDE TOOL A WEEK AGO OH MY GOSH 😭 i spent ages making clipping masks for my last piece.
Haha oh no! 😅 Yea it's something I didn't know about for a long time, and whenever I demo it on a stream, it often surprises people watching! Definitely a lesser-known trick for sure!
Such great tips, thank you!
I feel proud that I know some of these tips already, but love that I learn something new too! I never really used the Transform panel before but, seeing how easy it is to create 3D text, I definitely will be, thanks!!
Some are tips and others are different ways to arrive at a result. Thanks for everything 🌹
wow thank you so much!
Dansky, you rule. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers Matthew! You're welcome 👊
Great video thankyou!
Amazing artist ❤
Love all your videos, Dan. Thank you for sharing all that you do.
My pleasure Chris, thank you 😊👊
very nice keen information.. 👌 we are greatful to your content
There were a few of those I already knew about, but a lot of them were new to me so, I’m definitely going to be trying them out!
Great Video!!! 🙌
thank you very much💯🤓
Great learning
Always looking forward to your tutorial,very helpful..as a bag designer and new to using illustrator,can you pls do something on how to put stitching line on the pattern..
also you can make a heart super easily by taking a corner with the end points at the same level and a round end cap, increasing the stroke until its heart shaped, and then outlining the stroke! if you want it to be rounder i like using effects (fish eye, pucker and bloat, etc)
Speaking of the twirl tool, holding down the tilde key ~ when drawing shapes gives you some crazy paths that would take ages with radial repeat or manually❤
How on Earth did you discover that? Impressed over here.
@@ibidesign watching videos on illustrator shortcuts and hidden features , which I knew which one so I could give them proper credit !
very helpful
So fast. I will need to watch this video at least 30 times. Amazing what I learn, though. Many thanks Dan.
Is the video that I needed
wow thanks sir about the pattren
Fantastic video
holy what a handy tipp with draw inside :D
thank | teşekkürler
you the best ! thanks for tips . merci beaucoup
Thank you! 😃
Best teacher ever! Showed me the way to options for the effect tools.
Now the world’s in trouble Coz I feel as powerful as Thanos.
Thank's DAN
Pretty much all given techniques were far from new to me. BUT I have to especially credit that you HAVE put together a good set of "keep these in mind" tips that WILL speed up your workflow.
There are many less experienced users that I am sure will benefit a LO and most possibly those that "DO KNOW (and use)" these will most possibly remain silent...
Thus, I thought a feedback and gratitude would be in order to appreciate your selection of share. It was NOT a waste of my time in any ways.
And for this: Thank you!
That was SUPER informative, as always, Dan. Thank you for sharing. 🩶
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it Steven 🙌
Thanks so much, Dan!
My pleasure!
Wow swirl tool 😮 gonna keep that tool in mind
Really Helpful Video. Thanks Dan!
Super! Glad it was helpful! 🙌😃
Tanks 4 ur help Dude!
Bro you're funky good
0:30 draw inside, basically drawing on an alpha locked layer or clipping mask
1:05 basically just messing around with the effects tab, (pucker & bloat, zigzag)
2:02 how to draw a heart
3:00 variable fonts
3:30 illustrator has patterns. wow I am so whelmed
5:30 smooth out handwriting from the pen tool with object>path>smooth
6:20 warp/distort shapes with width subtool (twirl tool)
7:30 a more uniform way to make shadows than the first tip, the important takeaway is width profiles which is in the stroke panel
9:00 pathfinder crop
9:44 how to manipulate fonts
10:30 masking and gradients
12:10 point type vs area type
12:40 object > path > split into grid
13:30 literally just lasso select
14:00 for selecting similar objects: select > same > [attribute you wish to select]
14:50 object > compound path > make
15:30 duplicate fill color and go to town on transform effects
bloody windbag
These are great! You can apply a single gradient across separate objects by selecting gradient and dragging across the selected objects as well. You may know this already but thought I’d share.
Thank You man, I can Call These Tips " The Designer Survivor Kit"
You're welcome 🙂
The Gradient POW one, you can also use the Gradient tool and click and drag a line in any direction/axis to do the same thing
great video
Draw inside. 💥🤝
Nice bro
I actually Did know about the swarches library! Also, you can make a gradient go across several separate objects by using the Gradient Tool, from the right side. Just cleaning click, hold, and drag across all the objects. Done!
That was a super educational video. This is going to help me a bunch. Cheers mate, you've just earned a sub :)
Awesome, thank you!
Sweet.
Great video, thanks
My pleasure!
I knew about swatches library
Nice techniques!
Thank you! Cheers!
I am not so good at Ai, but after watching these pro tips ❤i am excited to improve further 🎉
Hey that's so great to hear 🥳
Dan, i would to ask where i can find font that free to use on my Project? i get many font but most of them is Paid. lol, i hope you can help me with this.
btw, i always love your Video. when i got stuck your Video is life saver. Thanks, and keep the Good work. Cheers
The pattern fills are also scaleable, rotateable and skewable without affecting the shape they are in by unclicking the "Transform Objects" box (as seen at 15:57).
Nice one 👌👌
Thanks ✌️
Dan da goat
very useful
😃
Great Video
Thanks!
Danskey whatdoes compound path do???? Ive seen a lot of videos but I still can't figure it out.
If you make a collection of separate shapes a compound path, Illustrator will treat all of the individual shapes, as a single shape. That’s why in this example the gradient runs through all of the shapes as one 👍
I have a bit of a niche question about Illustrator that I cannot find the answer to for the life of me. Perhaps you might have the answer? Is there some way to have the default "basic brush" (the plain line for outlines) to have the colorization settings "tints and shades" like one can do with a pattern brush option? I like to use tints and shades to create outlines that are the same color as the shape, with just a slightly darker tone that I don't have to manually set (utilizing a 75% gray for the base pattern brush). The problem with this is that in order to get this effect with a pattern brush is it creates astronomical numbers of points and makes everything run super slow. If I could duplicate the default "basic brush" and just use "tints and shades" it would solve my issue entirely, but I don't know if its possible.
Are the different stages of variable fonts developed by typographers or are the fonts just altered „mecanically“ without paying attention to typographical rules?
I think the intent with variable fonts is to tick all the best-practice-boxes from a typography perspective, and also work in a way that doesn’t require every possible suite of characters to be created manually, as that would be a lot of combinations! 😅
Dang, I really know nothing about illustrator lmao
Lol same.
But I've only been playing around with it for the past couple months.
I just wish adobe would release illustrator and Photoshop In a cheaper bundle. $88 a month to have access to both is steep.
Same I have just been making a mess and playing around with them
🎉👏🏻👏🏻
👍
Select > Same > Stroke color 🤯
itz great tips for beginner but not really pro tips
I tried the last one because it looks so Awesome but the problem is that no matter how much copies I made makes the first few copies the the back of the text still don't look smooth at all so I tried to double the transform and my laptop starts lagging. lol
Set the ‘Scale’ value to 99.9% or the ‘Move’ value to 0.1px and increase the number of copies a lot more 🙌
@@ForeverDansky
thanks, will try that. :)
I have worked with illustrator for 32 years … but I feel it is so unstable these days , running it on M1 chip mini these days , appearances are really horrible
the last one cost a lot of my pc performance
A workaround for this is to use whole percentages (eg. 99%, 98%). The edges will look jagged and not great, but everything will run better performance-wise. Then once the design is done, change the values to something like 99.9% and increase the number of copies for more detail, and do this right at the end before exporting the final design 👍
Draw inside? 😘🤌
hey Dan you are very cute & expert
I want to see your vedios in urdu😢
You look like Messi's brother😂😂
5:45 Who draws like that with a mouse and calls it "VERY, VERY BADLY"! Please sir, please be more humble, we know you're a pro. Anything I draw with the pencil tool looks like a scribble.
W seth rogen
Nothing new. time wasting.😡
