I never thought I would come this far in learning Illustrator, Thank you Abi!
Happy to help!
Next step, how about learning to make your own fonts in Illustrator? (we might have a video or two about his matter ;)
this is one of the best tutorials I have ever seen while learning illustrator, thank you so much!!
What a lovely comment! Thanks so much 😊
This is mind blowing. I'm usually scared of going around Illustrator like that, this was eye opening. Looking forward to watching more of your tutorials.
Where i learned graphic designing i was told comic sans is the worst font to use for any kind of design & teacher teaches in big university since decades 😅 so not saying he's wrong or you are, it's actually up to individual's what they like & feel comfortable with!
Generally comic sans isn't the best font, but that's why I use it in the video, to show the power of customising typography!
@@abiconnick yeah i got your point You are creative i wish i can be half good as you are learning from you & trying to improve keep posting stay blessed ♥️
The history of Comic sans is actually very interesting, it had a use.
@@bakeraus will read about it than 🙂 i think every font & everything is in this world is for some reasons no one & nothing is unimportant 🙂
For me its Arial or Impact
Creativity is in your DNA! Keep grinding Girl ❤
ahh thank you! I appreciate it :)

Thank you Abi. This was super informative
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent work Ms. Abi
Thank you!
Thanks Abi
Awesome video ✨✨✨
I have a question!!
I followed every step to use the pen tool but it's not working as in the video
Its just leaving blue strokes with anchor points(?)😭 what to do ?
Same thing, checked the pencil menu that pops up once you do double click and all specs are the same. Still only that blue line and it doesn’t let you delete parts as Abi does😅
I feel a bit stupid, it looks quite easy😂
I think it worked for me finally. You need to make sure that you choose a letter with direct selection tool and then choose a pencil tool, take a smaller potions of the letter you work on ( also I was first practicing on a random M letter and forgot to create an outline and ungroup) hope it helps❤
Thank you AB ICONIC 👑
Thank you! Here you go: www.abiconnick.co.uk/product-page/brand-presentation-template 😊
Love! thank you :)
what a video to the point 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Thanks!
I have taken your pencil tool worksheet and its really helpful.
Edited: how do you create amazing design with pencil tool do you get an idea first and then work on the type or it's just your flow like people say creativity is in your DNA 😊
Glad to hear it's been helpful :) So I first find a couple of fonts that I like, they play about with them until I land on something that works, but I always do brand strategy before I start designing, so I already have a bunch of ideas and the direction I want to go in!
Short but great! Thanks Abi!
No problem! Glad it was helpful :)
Thank you maam from The Philippines
I didnt know that trick about using alt to quicky switch to the smooth tool from the pen tool 😃
amazingggggggg!!! thank you
You're welcome!!
Truly amazing, good job! Btw i have the free pencil tool sheets, they are great!
Thank you :) glad to hear they have been helpful!
My master
Thank you so much Abi

I hope you make branding design course soon :) & ily so much
Thank you! ❤
You're welcome 😊
best thank so much
Thank you ✨🤲🏼but I couldn’t get the penicillin tool worksheet…I didn’t receive it in my email
Thanks
Estou incrédula que você começou com uma comic e foi pra isso 😮😮😮😮
Obrigado!
I love you😍✨
you made SOPHIE comic sans 😭
Hello! When I use offset path, my border overlaps with each succeeding letter. I address this by uniting all of the borders and sending them to the back. Is there an easier way to do this?
you are great ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you :)
Awesome
Hi Abi! ❤
Hey!
@@abiconnick I'm gonna try this when I get home for sure 😀. I recently got a new laptop so Adobe Programs run fairly well.
04:22 how did you do that? My letters are basically stack on and cover eachother😮😮
Once you've created the offset path, I use the 'Unite' tool within the Pathfinder panel and send the united shape to the back. Keyboard Shortcut is Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + [ 😊
Thanks!
No problem!
Present Ma'am 🔥
😊
How do you switch from filling mode to erasing mode when crafting the letter M, I rewatched it so many times and still have not figured it out. Many thanks!
Hey Abi, love your content! I cant believe i just stumbled upon your account now! Quic question, how do i preset an A5 page if id like to achieve a specific hardcopy i.e for a small menu in AI? hope you could help!
amazing
Thank you!
big fan
Do you have any free course for beginners?
I really love your videos! just found you and just subscribe. If i can make a suggestions, could you go a little slower when you click, like half a second or so. it is now super hard to see what you are actually clicking and even if i want to pause the video it's hard cause it's so fast
Pencil doesnt work for me the way youre editing. All the backend is clicked on. Not sure if an update is missing in my adobe?
I'm not sure if it's just me but I dont have the same tools or at least I cant find them or they are named different things. The ruler tool and pathfinder tool even after using the search button. I am US based and brand new to this program. Am I doing something wrong?
Abi i'm frustrated i checked my settings but the pencil tool doesn't change the font only creates strokes what should I do?
In the settings, make sure 'Fill New Pencil Strokes' is selected. That should hopefully resolve the issue you're running into!
Thank you very much for the content and videos!
If you could help me with an answer, I would be very grateful!
My question is, when I take Baskerville, for example, transform it into a vector and modify it with my own style, do I end up having copyright over this new font/letter?
Thank you!
That's a really good question. I think it would be dependant on the font license. Each type vendor has custom licensing. Some are happy for you to have the rights to edited assets and others not so it isn't a one-size-fits-all! Whenever you're using a font, just double check the licensing agreement :)
@@abiconnick Thank you so much for helping me.
Hello I'm a beginner in graphics design learning a lot from your video..
Thanks for such educative resources.
I also like your tool hoping to own same one day 🤔 though I'm left wondering if your trash 🗑️ got some of your old tool you can share or donate 😅 lol.
Thnks
I have problem, my Pencil tool doesnt seem to be working like yours despite having the same settings! It draws "over" the shapes, doesnt remove the excess like you did with the M.
It's really hard to answer this without seeing a video of what's happening! If it's creating another path over the top instead of adjusting the original path, double click the pencil tool to bring up the settings, and make sure 'edit selected paths' is ticked!
If you're still having issues, reach out to adobe directly as I'm sure they'll be able to guide you :)
Hi, Abi. I downloaded the pencil tool worksheet but there was nothing inside the file
Hey Abi,
I find your videos really informative but I would like to know if you have ever worked with Affinity Designer by Serif, and if so, can you do any tutorials and informative videos on the same topics?
Please show the shortcuts when you work with the tools
great video, but unfortunately almost none of the shortcuts or ways to select a tool work with my ps 2025..
Annoyingly illustrator and photoshop shortcuts are completely different!
Hey, could you help me please. I have a hand drawn logo picture can make it as vector using shape builder tool in illustrator. Because I need it urgent but my illustrator is expired 😭 please
Lol
u never showed how to save it as its own font. can you please elaborate on that.
Nice
nice but just in the new version the m looks like a n so thats why when i read it it sounds like conic but anyways nice it does a big difference
Customising using pencil tool doesn't work for me!!💔 Do you know why?
Is this all applicable in ai for iPad too
Ai for iPad is pretty limited in terms of capabilities so it doesn't quite work the same I'm afraid!
