Finally someone who can explain clearly and fully how this works without distracting special effects and music. Thank you so much!!! I'm going to check your other videos now
I wish I could up vote this video so many times. I have spent all day searching this exact informations and was almost giving up til I found your video. Straight to the point but very informative. Ty so freaking much!
Hello Heather ! thank you so much for this very informative video. After I expand vectorisation, the image has a white background and not a transparent background. Hence when I try to put two layers together (both of which I did up to the expand vectorisation stage), I can’t see both as they have white background. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks so much for your time!!
Hello! After the Image Trace step, use the Magic Wand tool (Y on your keyboard) and click anywhere in that white area to select the blank space. Once it's selected, hit Delete on your keyboard. You can also hit Expand in the Image Trace panel and check the option/box that says "Ignore White" and that will automatically delete the white area during the tracing step. If you're still having issues, please send me an email and I can help walk you through it! HeatherLynn@LoBoDesigns.com
Great video! Followed the tutorial but when i went to print, it did not vectorize the image and it printed huge even though i had it mucg smaller inside illustrator (since it was test) whay am i doing wrong? Do i need to save it first then print?
Since Procreate designs in Raster, it will look pixelated on the edges if you zoom in close enough, totally normal! As long as you're designing on a screen-sized canvas (or larger) and using a good brush for drawing/lettering, it'll trace beautifully!
Hello! You can change the drop-down menu inside the Trace options to a color trace and it will pick up the colors instead of just the black. Reminder, it will trace around each color so in the spots where two colors meet, you will have two paths that can manually be removed/joined, when needed! Lmk if you want me to do a tutorial on this!
@@LoBoDesigns Omgosh thank you! I think my app is either older or newer because I couldn't find that option and just thought I didn't have the feature :'). I found that I have to select "Paint" on my vectorize option!
Hi Heather, do you have any plans for tracing in AI with the Apple Pencil of a picture to turn into a svg to laser cut or engrave? Or do you know of a video for this. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks for watching! I can definitely create a video for something like that. Are you looking for the end product to be a layered cut file or something you'll be engraving?
@@LoBoDesigns thanks for getting back to me. I would like to understand how to do both. I am currently cutting more than engraving so maybe that will be a good place to start. Thank you
Sorry for the delayed reply! We're in the middle of selling our house and moving so life is a bit hectic, but I added this to the list to record a tutorial that shows the overall process for how to do both! Thank you so much for the suggestion! 🎉

When you say "print" are you sending it to a laser or using a UV or sublimation printer? Wondering if maybe the file type is the issue here!
@LoBoDesigns i have an inkjet 2830 which i was told would work.
That'll definitely work. I would recommend exporting from AI as a PNG or JPG and printing that on the printer!
@@LoBoDesigns okay cool thanks I’ll try.
I love this video my vector looks smooth in AI but when I open it in procreate to color it looks pixelated. Am I doing something wrong?
Since Procreate designs in Raster, it will look pixelated on the edges if you zoom in close enough, totally normal! As long as you're designing on a screen-sized canvas (or larger) and using a good brush for drawing/lettering, it'll trace beautifully!
If you’re using colors or color filled elements in procreate, how do you keep it from being removed in illustrator iPad?
