I refer back to this video often - just as a reminder that fewer points actually amount to a more precise vector drawing. Thanks for sharing ❤
I wasn't going to watch this at first because I've watched several tutorials like this, but I'm glad I did because I've never seen anyone mark points in their drawings like that before scanning it and I've never seen people go past a point like you explain at 4:49. Well worth the watch! Thanks for sharing!
+willugoupordown glad you found it helpful!

Best video I've watched on this process. Very clear instructions. I especially liked the "trick" to cross over the path to make the acute angle.
Glad you found it useful. That trick really helps when you have to adjust the curve. Saves so much time!
Thank you for the brilliant tip about the corner on the 'a'! I so appreciate your tutorials!
It's a great little tip that has saved me loads of time.
I wish I had found this sooner! Got some great unique tips from this tutorial!! Thank you!
This was really helpful, drawing on top of a photo of a sketch is a brilliant idea
Thanks Ian. Another great tutorial. This was hard to learn when I started to use vector programs with my lettering designs. You have explained really well how to do this task. Added to my favs!
Thanks Abelardo, I had to learn it the hard way and glad I'm able to simplify it for others.
Fantastic! Thank you so very much for taking the time to film this. It proves that you can't just have used the pen tool once and expect to be an expert; that thing is a pain! I'd better earn my stripes and start practising. You made it look so easy! :D
Great video Ian! This is something I've struggled with and you made it look so easy. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
You're welcome. Glad to help!
The best Tut Vid I've seen on vectoring letters and anchor points!! Thank you.
Glad you think so!
Hey Ian thanks for sharing, really appreciate it! I really like your work and have been following you, I do have a question if you have a minute. So after doing the bezier curve, how do you export or save the image to highlight the anchor points and handlebars? Thank you so much!
Thank you, Ian! That was really helpful. Looking forward to the next video on this!
Is all of your professional client hand lettering work create this way? I create most of my hand lettering on the ipad and am wondering if that is good enough for final production or if it should be brought into illustrator and redrawn?
Thanks again!

One of the best videos I've seen on vectoring lettering! Thanks!
Thanks buddy, glad you think so.
I agree !!!
Great tips as always! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks Ahmed
Thank you very much sir!
Thanks for explaining clearly where to put the vector points. And using the align tool to line up points? Mind blown. :D I have so much to learn.
+Night Enlightened glad the pointers helped. Force yourself to spend time in illustrator, it's the only way that you get comfortable with those curves!
Thaaaaaanks dear so much your rules help me so much
That’s was the easiest way to use the damn pen tool, thanks 👍
HUGE thanks for this :)
You're welcome
thanks - learned a lot from that. I struggle to have the same settings on adobe illustrator as you... can you run through what windows are open and how you layout your screen? Still so much to learn!
I normally just bring up windows I know I'm going to use for a certain project, though default ones would be Stroke, Transparency, Pathfinder, Swatches, Layers and Character.
Great tutorial and new tips, thanks.
Glad you found them useful.
John Valatos great avatar
You're sooooo clever ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Victoria!
Bro, i wrote a name (Wacom Intuos P) , Now how do i clip an image on the back letters that i drew?? Please help!
Glad you had a minute to post it.
How you like Iceland? :)
+AngieWL loved it. Wish we could of seen more of it!
❤️
Awesome Ian! Thanks for the info. Btw, I couldn't help get distracted by your books 😅 which one's do you recommend for learning calligraphy and hand lettering?
For Calligraphy I used a Dummies Guide, which gave a great overviews to lots of different styles. For hand lettering the ABC of Custom Lettering by Ivan Castro is really good.
Gotta try this now !
Let me know how you get on!

Lemme know where i need to improve. Thanks
Looking good. Maybe a little thinner at the top of the 'e', longer and smoother curve at the bottom of the 'l' and the h is slightly to wide. These are only minor tweaks though 👍
Thank you so much for this! Can I ask how it's done with letters where the line is always the same width (is that monoline? I'm not sure in English)? If I do it the same way, I struggle a lot to keep the width even...
Yes you got the name right. Do you mean the width of the line or the width of the whole letter in relation to the other letters?
Thanks! I'm talking about the width of the line.
I normally make it using a stroked line / path to keep the width constant.
Do the guideline angles change if the letters have a slant to them?
Whatever is easier for you. As long as the handles match each other on the horizontal and vertical.
i like you video can you teach me i draw with my hand but not on illustrator can you teach me thanks
Ian, why are you so willing to share this information? :)
+Christi's Fitness love helping others. Know a lot of people who really struggle with this process, so more than happy to give them some guidence.
I used the pen tool but my lines are coming out straight
Lolz...I’m the 666 like!
Cheers, just what I’m after 👍🏼
