@@JeremyMuradesign Oh, ok I'm trying on a document, but I have to print in in the end, so I'm actually on CMYK... If I change it for RGB in order to work with the textures and grain, how can I print it when it's finished?
I can't see your other question but make sure your colour mode is on RGB also make sue you use the right colour either white or black or the same colour of the colour below it. when you use those other belnding modes.
@@ArchihumanPlay around with blending modes or expand the grain to shapes because you can't just change the colour it wont work because it is a photoshop effect in AI.
Hi Jeremy, thank you for this video, it's still very much relevant 2years later. I have a question though, it's about the Canvas size, how do we know the right size to use for our artworks
The artboard size yo can chagne it by clicking shift + O and click on the artboard the change the size in the parameteres. Your size should depend on the project like is it a poster, social post for Instagram, an ebook illusrtation? Think about that but for illustrations try and save at a bigger resolution but if it's vector you can always just scale it.
Thanks for this video! But when I try, I've pixels and not your beautiful result! I've trying the different GRAIN TYPE but it's still like pixels. Do you know why ? Because i really would like to have your result. Thanks
Thank you! Question, does the vector change to raster? I want to create illustrations for a photo bank and I don't know will they accept with this photoshop effect.
Hi Jeremy, what an amazing helpful tutorial! A question - can do you regulate the size of the texture grain added? compaired to those in yours video my grains are huge, so it doesnt look harmonious, even though the graphic itself is pretty big. Thank you in advance :)
Thanks Ralina appreciate it. When you add the grain effect you have a drop-down menu that says GRAIN TYPE you can change it to enlarged or clumped test some of those out!
Great video! Really made it easy for me to understand. Question, when you go to change the opacity at around 6:00, my sliders do not appear as circles (just squares) and I can't change the opacity of only one. How can I make the circles appear?
Hi Jeremy, Thank you so much for this owsm tutorial. I have followed the same procedure for creating grain effect and used color mode RGB. But the grain created is like the pixelated one not smooth as you have shown. Please help me out what I am doing wrong.
bro for me only multiply option is working the two are not. When I apply overlay or screen the object just turns white and even after decreasing the opacity, there is no effect.
Change the blending mode to overlay and test other blending modes and make sure grain object is on top. Also the way the effect work it only really reads black and white so you have to apply those the gradient to add the grain first.
Hi! I'm having trouble with my blending mode, when i try to use the overlay method over my shape the shape is just fully white instead of showing the stippled effect! I can't seem to figure out why its not working the same as yours
@@JeremyMuradesign I had this problem and mine still goes white in rgb. If I have both gradient colours 100% transparency its red stipples with white background, if I out the white at 0% theres still a white faded halo around the stipple effect
Ok, so apparently, many people in the comments have run into the same problem as me. It looks super pixelated, the screen mode shows white color and there are some pixels on the edges as well... I'm in RGB mode and in pixel preview. None of the tips in the comments have helped me. Any other suggestions or more detailed explanation on how to fix the problem?
This effect is a raster effect it is not vector effect so that's why it's pixelated if you zoom in. You can expand the texture to make it a vector so it turns into shapes.
@@JeremyMuradesign thank you for replying :) I don't quite understand this raster/vector difference.... I think you can transform a vector object as much as you want without losing its quality, is that it? And I don't exactly know how to expand the texture to make it a vector, but I'll try
Change your raster effects to high quality it's in the settings if it looks pixelated. Secondly, it's a raster effect not a vector hence it uses pixels hope that makes sense. Most people who view it won't see it because in real world people don't zoom in that close to a digital illustration.
i notice that if i attempt to forgo the blending mode and simply make my gradient go from one color on my palette to another, the gradient seems to remain in black and white no matter what colors I select. (I'm skipping the blending mode because i'm not able to get the result I want and I'd rather just directly tell illustrator what colors I want)
Yeah you can experiment but it only really works with a few blending modes. I have other texturing techniques in my texture course on skillshare that might inspire you with the mezzotint effect in illustrator.
Hmm make sure file is on rgb colour mode, make sure it's the right colour / black white or use same colour as shape. It can depends on the contrast of colours as well.
Guys make sure the document is in RGB not CMYK color mode.
Okay thanks
@@markbryantveranga1728 Thanks for that bit of info. I was in CMYK and it was driving me nuts.
Is there a similar way to achieve this effect in Clip Studio Paint?
@@randolphthomasii7040 Not sure don't use that program
Solved my problem. THanks
thanks. never thought how easy it was to add that texture. It makes the illustratons look x10000 times better.
Thank you it makes it look great!
For anyone dealing with pixelated grain: Go to your effects window, hit "Document Raster Effects Settings" and set it to "High (300pp)i"
Yes!

You need to have a gradient on the shape and then just click or select it or else it won't appear.
what file format should i use to print my grain texture effect on mobile, pillow & laptop cases, mugs, tshirt prints, cards or any related things?
Save it as high res PNG, OR bitmap TIFF FILE.
Hi Jeremy,
Thank you so much for this owsm tutorial. I have followed the same procedure for creating grain effect and used color mode RGB. But the grain created is like the pixelated one not smooth as you have shown. Please help me out what I am doing wrong.
Make sure to select the same stippling grain or smaller-sized grain. Also go to view and try pixel preview and see what that does.
Thank you 😊. I will try this.
My grain looks so chunky. Is there a way to decrease the size of the grains? Also, the edge of the art is pixelated and rough looking.
with this effect no I havce a texture course that shows you nother method that gives you more control.
I dont know but ussing brushes in illustrator make it load heavily what is the recommended ram for heavy duty projects in AI?
I have 32 gb Ram on my PC and a good CPU/GPU, at leasy have 16gbram and 6 core CPU because some textures will lag you out.
@@JeremyMuradesign that’s right cause my custom brushes is a complex vectors
i love your video! but i have an issue here. when i changed the opacity to 'overlay', it didn't work at all. can you help me?
Depends on the colour you picked play around with the other colours if it's black or white it wont work as well
Allah Bless you Man❤
Bless you brother!
Hi jeremy, I follow your flow but there's black solid on the edge of my shape. Can you help me?
Do you mean a stroke? select the stroke fille then press the slash key /
@@JeremyMuradesign I think it is not a stroke. drive.google.com/file/d/1HNpiUDBMqX6wpXWA7BtEjv2PBRwARlBH/view?usp=sharing
@jeremy Mura Will it affect anything if I go for printing?
I would test it, remember it's a raster effect best for print is doing a bitmap or making the grain a vector so expand it into shapes.
Nice tutorial. Whats the name of the song and artist?
Thanks Sergio, Figures - Jones Meadow. You like those house vibes aye!
is this suitable for printing? thanks!
I would recommend doing it for digital stuff. With printing you would have to test it but There is better ways for printing.
once i applied the overlay on the stippled object, the color changes into a bright almost neon shade of the original color of the object :
Yeah some colours may not work try other blend modes
Jeremy Mura tysm for the response but damn this is sad :///
My grain is become white or bland color when I transfer to Screen and Overlay. Do you know why?
Are you in RGB mode or CMYK? It matter what you if your shape is on top
bro for me only multiply option is working the two are not. When I apply overlay or screen the object just turns white and even after decreasing the opacity, there is no effect.
Make sure you are in RGB mode also make sure the colour you used was dark black /white. Play around sometimes you gotta mess with it.
how can i change the grain color from black to other colors?
You could but it doesn't work as well.
Hey, Please reply if possible!
I loved your video but i am not able to find the stippled option in grain :(
Edit: I found it Lmao
haha nice one
Why can't it seem to work on me? When I apply the grain effect, colors are restricted to black and white.
I am using CC 2018.
Change the blending mode to overlay and test other blending modes and make sure grain object is on top. Also the way the effect work it only really reads black and white so you have to apply those the gradient to add the grain first.
screen and overlay modes works like in the video only in RPG, so maybe you used CMYK?
Hi! I'm having trouble with my blending mode, when i try to use the overlay method over my shape the shape is just fully white instead of showing the stippled effect! I can't seem to figure out why its not working the same as yours

The grain effects pixels/ rater it's not vector. Make sure you choose stippling effect or smaller grain not large one.

It is a raster effect, not a vector effect. Also, turn off pixel preview.
