This was a great video to help me transition back into the world of digital design after living without Adobe for a good 8 years. Not sure why I ever decided that it was a good idea, but this video has helped me go from ver. CS2 to CC. Please take note to never accidentally hit command H (MAC), which I am used to doing in Photoshop. It took me all evening to figure out why I couldn't permanently see my anchor points (like this video) and adjust the handle bars etc. Earlier today, I did this to hide the guides without fully knowing other important things that may be hidden. Now I am back in business. Thank you Jason for your fast response and help today!! :) Love your example using a bulldog!
Seems like you could click and drag with the pen tool to match up with the curves when outlining instead of going back and trying to fix everything. Faster to do it once instead of reworking it in my opinion. This is a good example of how you can rework pen points for those that don't know though.
Jason, I am a Graphic Design student at fullsail university I would like to post your video in a student discussion board, because several of us are having a hard time with tracing. I do not want to post this without your consent, but I think you can help alot thank you
Hey, i know this vids kinda old and I dont know if you'll still even see this, but I got a little question. For me, it just doesn't show the Anchor Points, only if I hover my mouse right above it, making me kind of unable to grab a single handle. How can I enable that?
This is a great video! But I have a problem. I'm new to using adobe illustrator and I can definitely trace the entire outside part of the picture, but everything on the inside is what I'm having trouble with. When I start to trace anything on the inside, the outside tracing disappears and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. When you do it, everything stays in its place. When I do it, everything disappears once I try and trace a new thing on the inside. What do I do? :(
how on earth do i make my workspace look like yours, im new to illustrator ive scoured the internet and tried all the different windows how do i find smooth anchor points??
In the top-right corner next to the 'Search Adobe Stock' box is a drop-down selection for the interface layout. Choose Printing and Proofing and that should do it.

How long did it take you to do the entire thing? Question from an Illustrator newbie.
Why does part of my image/scan disappear when I'm half way through adding anchor points?
Go to select and lock the selection
(two years ago) you may have had a fill colour selected while tracing
Shift+x will do the trick
Say I outline a drawing and that drawing has a couple empty spaces within? How do I delete the black background from that? Sorry, I’m learning lol
Hi Dko7a, I know it’s a little late, but I created video to answer your question: th-cam.com/video/fSwJirwHcxk/w-d-xo.html
Focus into the tail to make chanes easy to see on small device. Thanks

To prevent just that, layers are used. Learn how to use layers to complete this type of work in pieces.

How you work a round area with pen tool such as a circle or the shape on eye?
why does this look like every school mascot
Did you tablet for this
explain more
imagy
What about his meat????? lol.
This is stupid tedious. I thought there was a easy way to do this but there is not.
It’s illustrator plus it is easy just repetitive

Time wasting
