So how do you curve using the pen tool?
Your video is great for people who want learn Illustrator - but if I just need a logo, I always go to did.li/logodesigners and find people who create one for me!

This is the most important video i ever saw in my 3 year experience of graphic designing
Hy can you todl me about this software?
@Dacia Sandero guys "In context to beginer
Hahaha, so you are really BAD graphic designer.
Maciej Karpiński just because it’s important to them means they’re a bad designer? Get bent.
@@cobrakaiX yeah, there's a difference between bad and passionate about something
The shift + delete anchor point tool is a holy grail. I've never seen anything so handy before in my 6 years of using base illustrator. Thanks for showing it to me.
Illustrator has SOOOOOOOOOO much going on, it’s impossible to learn everything in one semester . Great video
@Alienz 696 i found ai most difficult. It took me a month to learn basics . While ae basics i learnt in just 2 days.
@Alienz 696
I feel like that too, but I also grew up photoshopping and illustrating at a young age. Did you just get into it or did you start early?
yooo facts
you're so right! there's so much to Illustrator but that's why it's such an amazing software! you can do so much with it :) are you currently studying graphic design?
@@SandraDi i know this isn’t a reply but i currently am. i’m having trouble and i’m wanting know any info in terms of making my sketches on paper turn digital
I have been designing for 4 years and I still learned new stuff just from this video! Nice tips! Thank you!

I'm a pretty intermediate Illustrator user, but this helped me SO much with how to make the process easier! The shortcuts save me so much time!
Great tutorial. Lots of good technical stuff in a sort space. Also I really appreciated the simple explanations of why you made certain artistic decisions. Thanks.
awesome tutorial, that's probably the most useful 8 minutes of illustrator information I've had
fantastic. :D
I have come back to this video a few times over the years to remind me of the basics. Thank you for the video!
Dang it, I don't have a mechanical pencil.
Haha
😅😅
I watched this two years a go and today I needed to draw something but I'm very bad at drawing so I remembered your video so I came back for it and now I find it very useful! thanks dude!
So helpful, thank you.
Plz check my channel
Is CS6 still good enough ib 2021?
Wow, I had no idea that you can retain the curve if you hold Shift while deleting an anchor point. Why am I only finding out about this now? Thanks so much, that will save me so much time !
Same for me, I'm so mad that this thing exists! Could have saved me lots of troubles in my works
hello, can you explain to me why it cancels the curve even if I hold down shift? another question, sorry if it is trivial but I started recently, what is the reason of eliminating the anchor point? Thanks in advance
@@matteopascali5748 It's just for easy editing. Most of time extra anchor points have no harm.
Yeah it doesn't work for me. It still deletes the point and alters the curve.
@@braxtonbrown1311 I don't know what happened. I tried to do this again right now and it doesn't seem to work. I swear it worked before.
Could it be something in the settings or maybe Illustrator updated and something changed?
dude your tutoral is easy to follow! it's crystal clear on what to do, you voice it out so great too.
I gain new skills from this video! make my work easier to do. Thank you for sharing this.
Would love it if you continue this series...the best thing i ever saw on TH-cam❤️
Bless you for a tutorial that doesn't come across as taught by someone on crack & threatens to give me a seizure due to its ridiculous manic speed that often leaves out critical steps and info for beginners. Showing us how to do things easier and quicker while SHOWING the explanation as to why is critical for learning, as well repetition of steps to help get it ingrained in our heads. You got a new sub, cheers!
Such an amazing, short, simple tutorial, thanks a lot for this! ✨
You are so good at explaining/demonstrating things
The technique is great the tip of retaining the shape after you delete the points was something new in my 12+ years as a brand developer lol. U learn something every day!
I've been working with CorelDraw for 10 years, now that i'm studying Digital Design at university i have to learn how to use illustrator, and i need to tell you my friend, this video is gold for me, thank you so much.
Super solid tutorial by the way! Taught me so much in just 8 minutes.
Excellent tutorial showing the proper way to trace logos in Illustrator
I didn't know about Shift+Delete. That's a game changer! Thank you.
Just discovered this video - very clever! Thanks for the subtle tips on rounding the corners!
So informative! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us ♥
I'm so happy I found your channel, your tutorials are amazing thanks
Wonderful tutorial, it's just what I was looking for. The tips about Object Expand and rounding corners will be a great help on my project. Thanks!
Excellent tutorial! I'm new at this, but I want to create my own logo from scratch. I'm looking forward to the process.
Thank you!! Haven’t started using illustrator yet, but your videos are preparing me!

One of the best tutorials , thanks!
Scissors Tool… who knew??! And so many more. Thanks so much for this informative tutorial!
Thanks! This really helped a lot! I've been struggling to use the pen tool for over a year to try to get those smooth lines.
mortalkaiban ohh same here 🤦🏻♀️
That was sick! Great tutorial, really easy to follow along with and super helpful. :)
That was great I never knew about the round out corner fearure!
Cool! Also, when you place the image, check "template" it will lock the layer and give it some transparency automatically. And create a new layer to boot :)
Beautiful logo. Thanks for help!
im in my first year of Graphic Design just finished the 'basics' of illustrator.. so far i found for me the curvature tool works better than the pen tool when it comes to smoother lines
Thank you! Just what I needed
Awesome work👍🏼 Thank you for the tutorial!
Thank you! for this short tutorial it was amazing..god bless you!
this is really one of the best videos out there for illustrator lol, ty so much!
I like how he explained the other way o adjusting the edges with the width tool, but went on to explain why it might not be a good idea for this specific example.
This was an amazing tutorial! Will definitely learn tonight. Thank you!
I know zero about graphic designing but this is so interesting with how things come together
Awesome! I love this tutorial so much.
Such a great information on how to do this
Wow
This is really helpful for a beginner like me. Thank you!
Great video, tutorial saved my butt with vector logos for school. ❤
Great video and really helpful! I couldn't get a grasp on how the setuper works but it's all clear now.

You're the best! Aced my first logo thanks to this video.
That´s exactly what I was looking for for my new project
Thankyou! With what you teach here I was able to translate my sketch! 🙌👍
Great intro vid to essential illustrator tools. I just spent 4 hrs tweaking a text logo in photoshop that I probably could've done in 1 hr with a sketch and illustrator

That was really helpful..
After all the toturial i whached your one was the most easy and fast to learn.
Simple, easy and understandable. Great tutorial dude u are a good teacher!
Thank you :)
Thank you this is the video I needed
This is so helpful! Thank you 😊
Thanks alot for this short but how impactful on my work !:)
good option for tracing is to place the graphic, double click its layer and select the template option. this reduces the opacity to 50% by default and locks the layer
Great tutorial, thanks so much!!
Thank you I've learned so much
Omg everything looks so easy! Great video man!!!🍻
Erlangga Widjaya gotta put your mind to it - Ronnie Coleman
Thank you Matthew McConaughey, very nice of you bro!
so grateful that matthew mcconaughey is teaching graphic design!!!
SO helpful! You're great at teaching this! Nice logo too btw :)
you can also do the following for tracing:
1. make the image greyscale/grayscale (mode change in photoshop) in order to be able to colour/color it in illustrator using a swatch of your choice, so for example you could make the image orange. No need for opacity change. You can also set the layer to dim image to your liking by double clicking the layer where the image is kept (in the layer panel), this double click gives you the layer options....a template option is also available in there too....
2. put the image on its own layer and lock it.
3.make another layer for the actual tracing and then set the layer to keyline mode by control-clicking that layer's icon for visibility (in the layers panel). this means that, in my example, you will trace black lines that are super thin (regardless of zoom level) against an orange image - plenty contrast.
this method works well for tracing images at full opacity and having the best contrast for following detail.
please tell me with your videos Sir
@@gendengben8258 i am not able to make a video at this time but just try each point in isolation and you should be able to understand the process....try placing grayscale images in Illustrator and applying different colour swatches to them.... then try making layers with some set to key-line mode and others to preview mode i will try screen capture at some point but i have an ancient computer
I didn't know you can delete anchor points that easy, thanks mate!
Pls pls pls does anyone know why the deleting anchor while holding shift not work anymore? It's not working here please help me :(
thanks i never think that will work so good job!
You can achieve this quickly using the Golden Ratio technique.
