I just finished binge-watching each and every single one of your videos from the very first to the very last. It took me three days and I took so many notes, it filled out my entire notebook ! :D I feel like I just graduated from Graphic Design school. I am so ready to start creating. Thank you so much, Abi ! YOU ROCK !!! Amazing content in each video, I learnt so much from you. I am aiming at becoming a freelance Graphic Designer and I didn't know where to start but thanks to you, I have a much clearer idea. THANK YOU and again I say YOU F**** ROCK !
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!
@@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 ♥️
Great video as always❤🔥 really appreciate the tips on the tools! Your video editing is getting even better too, do you edit your own videos or do you outsource?
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!
Your videos are fab!! Already a subscriber 😁 Planning to learn graphic designing and browsed through your channel but couldn't find a video that would show how to become a graphic designer i.e. what courses to study etc. I remember in one of the videos you emphasising on udemy and skillshare though. Thanks for all the content 🎉
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?
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!
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?
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 :)
Morning Abi, I hope I find you well. I am a freehand illustrator or draw much better by freehand. I find the mouse so difficult to control and become frustrated when using the pencil tool. Do you use or recommend a tablet with a screen that I can link to my Adobe Illustrator on my mac.
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
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?
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 + [ 😊
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
Watch some TH-cam tutorials! But really, the best way is to get stuck in and have a play around Illustrator. I'm self taught to and I just kept practising until I got better! Best of luck :)
I commented on one of your other videos but my pentool is not working like this when I draw over a letter it doesn't change shape like yours it does a lot of random other things - I checked my settings and copied yours I am unsure of what's going on
Ahh it's really difficult to provide an answer when I can't see exactly what the error is. What I'd recommend doing is repeating the step and adjust the settings each time (toggle everything off then slowly one by one back on again). It does take a while to get used to - I hope it starts working for you!
@@abiconnick I figured out what it was looking at one of your other videos (can't remember which one LOL) I wasn't making sure I'd select a point first and met another point thank you for getting back to me!
hey hello abi, it's a very important message for you that is about your free pencil tool worksheet. there is a spelling mistake page 01 exercise two....... i know it's not a big deal for anybody except you.

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
this is one of the best tutorials I have ever seen while learning illustrator, thank you so much!!

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?
Truly amazing, good job! Btw i have the free pencil tool sheets, they are great!
Thank you :) glad to hear they have been helpful!
Thanks Abi

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!

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?
Morning Abi, I hope I find you well. I am a freehand illustrator or draw much better by freehand. I find the mouse so difficult to control and become frustrated when using the pencil tool. Do you use or recommend a tablet with a screen that I can link to my Adobe Illustrator on my mac.
I've never used a drawing tablet so I honestly can't comment, if you are connecting to a computer, do you need a screen on the tablet?
@@abiconnick Thanks Abi, I probably need to practice more using the Pencil tool and mouse. Thanks for your reply and have a good week .
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
Thank you so much Abi
No problem 😊
great vid! thx :D
Glad you liked it!
Abi i'm frustrated i checked my settings but the pencil tool doesn't change the font only creates strokes what should I do?
Thank you! ❤
You're welcome 😊
Hey Abi, could you please make a video on how to edit videos? I love your editing style. Which software do you use for video editing?
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?

Present Ma'am 🔥

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.
I love you😍✨
Do you have any free course for beginners?
big fan
amazing
Thank you!
Please show the shortcuts when you work with the tools
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 + [ 😊
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
Do you make tutorials for illustrator on iPad too?
I don't, i've actually never used AI on Ipad!
Customising using pencil tool doesn't work for me!!💔 Do you know why?
you are great ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you :)
Hi ma'am, I want to ask how to learn design autodidactically?
Watch some TH-cam tutorials! But really, the best way is to get stuck in and have a play around Illustrator. I'm self taught to and I just kept practising until I got better! Best of luck :)
@@abiconnick thank you
u never showed how to save it as its own font. can you please elaborate on that.
I love this tutorial but I now only use the Affinity software products.
Why do i have to press the colour fill botton after every stroke with the pencil tool. Really annoying :(
How do you make your video intro? What tools
Adobe after effects

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
Abstract logo tutorial

How much have AIs affected your incomes?
It hasn't whatsoever! I think people are too scared of it taking over (it might one day, but that day isn't now)
hey hello abi, it's a very important message for you that is about your free pencil tool worksheet. there is a spelling mistake page 01 exercise two....... i know it's not a big deal for anybody except you.
Thanks for spotting and letting me know!
