I am in Illustrator CC 2020-2021 and that join icon is not available and I cant figure out how to do the whole join by going over the line. I am not seeing the same options now in this last AI update.
Hey Pocho, the Join Tool is under the Shaper Tool in the sub menu. It will be in the same location as the Pencil Tool. It has not been removed from the new update for 2021.

This was in the description: This is our first workflow video and will not be a direct step by step tutorial since your drawing will be a little different than mine as well as the finished product. I have covered all of the major steps and shown the process so you will be able to get through from start to finish. This will let you just focus on getting your lines down, adding variation and the clean up (which does get a little intense for brand new users which I don't recommend) We go full on UGLY in this one. We will finish slightly before the image shown in the thumbnail, which if you watched the last tutorial, you will be able to add on inner glows to the flat colors without any issues.
Thank you again! Always great content, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you taking your time and calling out the key binds as you perform the actions. I learn a lot every video.
I am having all sorts of difficulty with the pencil tool. When I make a line and change the stroke size, it will keep reverting back to the original stroke after I make a line.
Check your preferences. Is your scale strokes on/off. Are all of the strokes changing or just the last one you draw. The new strokes should have the new size of the stroke if you adjust them.
@@JasonSecrest It seems to be working now. Before it I would draw a line and adjust the stoke, but the next line would go back to original size. Now it seems to work with scale stokes on or off. I am not sure what I did.
I’ve been watching you for a year and a half and you’ve been producing some outstanding artwork. Can you do more image tracing on photograph as far as like humans
Magic wand tool. Double click to knock the tolerance to 1-5. You can also modify what it selects in the same panel. Hold shift w Selection Tool for point and click of multiple lines
On the website I have a Tablet Quick Start Guide which might be helpful to go through if you are new to drawing with your tablet. I recommend the Hippo + the Muffin Man for my favorite tablet tutorials. www.jasonsecrest.com/wacom-tablet-quick-start-guide/
great video , I loved how you took your time but I noticed how a few steps may have been edited out... would have loved to see them.. guess who just got a new subscriber 👍
The cleanup was the same process all the way through using the shape builder holding down alt/option. I skipped over the confusing part with all of the overlapping so you can pause it to look at the cone and napkin overlapping areas. The scissor tool might have been cropped out a little which you will see on the cone strokes. You could use path eraser or scissor tool to modify the cone strokes.

Check tomorrow/todays video for the start of a adding value series. We are starting with highlights
Thanks Jason will do!
I don't really understand that stuff with expanding and uniting. Is there another video or explanation from you guys ?
Expanding finishes the stroke into a shape. Then uniting merges all the little shapes into 1. We do this before coloring
@@JasonSecrest Thank you very much.
There were gaps in your video. I didnt see if you use width tool or stroke tool to make your strokes contrast in width.
Here you go Brian: th-cam.com/video/xAqODgCPcn0/w-d-xo.html

glad to see you making tutorials again.

Amazing tutorial and excellent explaination.
hello! Thanks for your video! Just wondering how can I save my final vector as an image that I can use in different projects..

How you did that bold brushes ? 8:42
Cartoon Brushes
One of the best tutorials! Thank you Jason!
the jump at 9:30. . . seriously HOW. I am so lost how we got from the base shapes and lines to this OTL
Are you following on the website or on TH-cam? jasonsecrest.com/drawing-for-illustrator-from-a-stock-image/
very good explained with a great result.
What about shading it you did not teach us how to shade it
Thanks, your tutorials are very useful and help me advance in illustrator!
I have Illustrator CS6 and can't find the join tool or the options you had. Are they new to CC?
Join Tool is under the Pencil Tool- should be in CS6
@@JasonSecrest I don't see it. All that is in the little flyout menu are Smooth Pencil and Path Eraser tool.
Thank you for your tutorials! I have been using Illustrator for a year now and this video has so many easier ways of doing things it blew my mind.
how to select multiple lines by your choice??
Magic wand tool. Double click to knock the tolerance to 1-5. You can also modify what it selects in the same panel.
Hold shift w Selection Tool for point and click of multiple lines
Sooooo good! Iove the tutorials you are making ♥ I bought a used Wacom tablet, so I can start the digital drawing journey. I´m so excited.
