yea but it doesnt work for me. if i merge the original layer with an empty layer above it.. it just keeps the white background and nothing happening. i wonder what could i do wrong. it looks so easy here and i was so glad i've finally found a good solution..but it seems like no shortcuts for me..
alright. just so you know.. if you skip the "layer style blend if grey adjustment" thing, it doesnt work... but after i tried that also, it magically started to work. and i'm also high right now, maybe thats part of the problem too.
Inspired me to start hand lettering, after watching a lot of your videos. Being a graphic designer there's always new tools popping up to help with my work but sometimes nothing beats a pen, a bit of paper and hours and hours of practice... Cheers Ste!
Looks amazing! By the way, if you hold alt and click between the layers 4 and 3, the layer on top would only apply over the layer under it. (try it and you'll understand what i mean) I think it's a bit easier and quickier
Great tutorial! I'd work non-destructively though, using adjustment layers and keeping them as smart objects and at 16:30 just Alt-Click between the two layers to automagically clip the top layer :)
This video is captivating and masterful (apart from the advertising, but artists gotta eat, we get it). It's such a joy to watch your tutorials, can't wait to give it a go.
awh thank you man, I honestly really appreciate that comment! I thought people would be bitching and crying because of the sponsored ad, so Im glad you understand! :)
When you merged the "C" and the "l" together it would have been a good idea to select the eraser and just take a soft large brush and click on the part where the "C" wraps around and connects to the "l", and it would have made the gradient between the "C" and "l" completely seamless. Looks great either way. Good job!
thank you for your awesome tutorials, I've recently just jumped back into Illustrator after 6 years of not touching on it..great inspiration to push me forward to get back into art.
Hi man i try to contact you last week through email, but so far I got no answer :/ you still accepting freelancing? Really like your work and want to put it in some designs.
For limiting the shadows to only show on the type layer, it would be just as easy to just create a clipping mask from the shadows onto the text! Either way, great video! :)
ahh yes! Ive never been one for using clipping masks because I never really understood them that much for some reason, but since recording this video, I have finally took some time to get to understand what they are, and I actually use them now :D You will see in one of my future tutorials where I use a clipping mask for a texture! Thank you for your input and advice though, hopefully it will helps others :)
I was thinking the same. Maybe it was just a more comprehensive process. Nonetheless, this is a great video and tutorial. Knowing how to keep the brush texture is very useful.
great buddy we need more and more handlettering tuts bcz there r very rare techer like you :p do take care of your youtube students from time to time my friend plz +ste bradbury just loved this tutorial man
This is a great tutorial! I'd love to learn how to do the splash effects around the text on some of your other tutorials. Maybe I just haven't stumbled across the right video yet. Or is it just splatter brushes? thanks!
Great tuto. I'm really much more in video rather than photo but I don't know how I can animate things like your intro. I mean on the fondamental concept: Do you have your logo as a picture that you animate with masks or do you really make your logo in after effect?
Hey, great tutorial! Question: what if paths cross? would it be ideal to use the scissors tool or the shape builder tool? I'm kinda stuck doing trial and error for now. Thanks in advance!! -Edwin
Sick !!! I was always wondering how you do the step between the scan and photoshop , that's help me a lot. Good work man, keep going :) Do you use a particular scan for this ? Because I've been trying with mine and this is kind of messy , there is too much pixel. :/
If you were to vectorize this(to be able to size it up and down without quality degredation) How would you trace this perfectly as it is without compromise? Making it into a vector
You should blend the "C" to "larity" with a layer mask and a soft brush before you merge them. After you merged the two layers you can still clearly see where one layer ends and the other one begins.
nice tutorial! how about making some content about yourself, youre story, how do you got to lettering and how you progressed in it? i think we'd like to see that :) (sorry for my englisch im swiss^^)
That trick of removing the original scanned background with layer options is so cool - thank you for sharing!

Dude! thank you so much for this. Giving away this information for free is crazy.
After so many Canadian and American channels, I love hearing a fellow UK Northerner, and delivering such quality videos! Cheers pal!

Doesn't like as complicated as I thought it was gonna be. Thanks!
This is literally my favorite tutorial that I have done in a WHILE...so helpful. sincerely!

Yea so you could just hold alt and click the layer below.
I was thinking the same. Maybe it was just a more comprehensive process. Nonetheless, this is a great video and tutorial. Knowing how to keep the brush texture is very useful.

thanks!
Great work man! :)
Quick shortcut... once you have the pen shape closed up, you can hit Cmd or Ctrl + Return and it makes the selection that way.
Thank you so much I really wanted this !
Depending on what you choose the size of the document ?
Thanks man
Great tuto. I'm really much more in video rather than photo but I don't know how I can animate things like your intro. I mean on the fondamental concept: Do you have your logo as a picture that you animate with masks or do you really make your logo in after effect?
Freakin awesome video! Your work is excellent!
I love your promo!
Amazing work, I would like to know how to put this on a t-shirt
in your opinion which is better, photoshop or illustrator
Merzie depends on what u wanna do.. logo kind of work - illustrator.. other kind like editing n all - Photoshop
What's the song in intro?? It's awesome!!
Awesome intro! How to do this animation?
ssoooo greeattt!!
Great video!
I just wondering where did you get your intro done? Did you create it yourself and if so what software did you use?
Hey, great tutorial!
Question: what if paths cross? would it be ideal to use the scissors tool or the shape builder tool?
I'm kinda stuck doing trial and error for now.
Thanks in advance!!
-Edwin
That's insane !
Thanks!!!!
love the intro can u do a tutorial on that ?
This is amazing

Good! use adobe illustrator for better results.
thanks heaps!
I'd like to know how you apply that grunge texture and splashes I saw on this video thumbnail and "Handlettering Monoline" either
nice tutorial! how about making some content about yourself, youre story, how do you got to lettering and how you progressed in it? i think we'd like to see that :)
(sorry for my englisch im swiss^^)
Whats a good scanner to use that isnt super expensive?
Im not entirely sure tbh, I just use the built in scanner on my Canon MG5650 Printer
The First Song is actually: 20syl - Voices feat. Rita J. (Thoughts become actions)
awesome! :)
How did you make the intro???
