Hey guys! This is a tutorial showing you how to create a vector halftone pattern within Adobe Illustrator. I figured I'd do a tutorial on this since quite a few of you requested it when I uploaded the Janoski vs. Huarache video a couple of months ago, and again on my previous video of the Vans shoe. This was just a quick tutorial since it's fairly straight forward to do, but can be very effective when used correctly. I have also put links to the project files of both the Janoski shoe and the Huarache shoe, below. Just like the Vans shoe, you can change the colours to create your own shoe essentially, so I hope you enjoy that. I want to do more tutorials like this in the future so please let me know what else you want to see! Thanks for watching guys!

I saw many tutorials and no one explained it well. You are the only one who explained what i was looking for. Thank you so much!

[@targetandapply]

I was looking for a halftone effect recap video and I think you go through the halftone process pretty concisely, so I appreciate you uploading this video - thanks!

[@SteBradburyDesign]

Let me know what other tutorials you want to see! I try and make these as straight forward as I can and to-the-point.

[@pkruse115]

Ste Bradbury Design Could you make a tutorial on actual hand lettering like with a brush pen or just pencil and paper?

[@jmjmjmjmjmjmjmjmjmjmjm]

pkruse115 Yeah, I'd really like this because I can use the pen tool in Illustrator well but I can't actually write that well, especially with brush pen.

[@SteBradburyDesign]

pkruse115 I think I will do this one next, ive had a lot of people request it. Ive just been trying to do videos not around type since a lot of my viewers were getting pissed at me hahah, but i'll do this tutorial next since a lot of you want to see it :) Think I'll have to record it with my iPhone though haha

[@jmjmjmjmjmjmjmjmjmjmjm]

Ste Bradbury Design as long as it's not a iPhone 3 lol looking forward to the video btw

[@SteBradburyDesign]

John Morrison nah man it's the 5s :) good enough quality, just need to try and mount it so you can see it from a birds eye view

[@Mesehe7]

thanks man, really helpful tutorial. once i needed it, but now i don't remember for what. i have to save it somewhere, because i find it very useful

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

proper quick and to the point. Thank you!

[@Javooniz]

You're genuinely my idol when it comes to illustrator. Kudos

[@brickspace9772]

This is so unbelievably helpful! Thanks man, good work.

[@thevdevitor]

I knew how to do it in a different way, but your way is much easier e better. Thanks Ste and keep up the awsome job!

[@littleclayguys]

Thanks man, it's better to watch the tutorial than to press pause on your speed art to try to understand how do you do those awesome things !

[@l301681]

Realy cool i was searching for a toutorial like this for a long time.

[@isaura844]

this was great thanks! I was stuck downloading halftone vectors but those were never quite what I wanted:D Big thumbs up!

[@fizzynsparkles5996]

Very cool! I love how you break it down!

[@mariusamundsen6818]

Could you make a tutorial for colouring, shading and lighting illustrations?
Great tutorial by the way. Keep it up!

[@clairematheson7153]

Hell yes I have been all over the world wide web and this finally did it yes yes yes

[@jasonbowman5904]

Kept it straight to the point, that's how we like it haha! Nice video bro! :)

[@KJFirestarterFilms]

Good tut. Thanks for making it so concise.

[@RemyMNdow]

Thanks nice tutorial! Love the illustrations

[@UMPx]

Thanks man really enjoy the videos great work.

[@EasterlyArt]

For the best results, I think this process works best for when the max radius is +20. I find that anything smaller get's sharp edges or becomes squares.

[@PXLGraphics]

Nice tutorial :) I'd love to see a tutorial about hand lettering with a brush pen :)

[@antonmessina5304]

Wicked tut mate!

[@dannyhengel7645]

thanks man that's pretty slick.

[@inv_der2350]

Fantastic tutorial, thanks a lot mate!

[@shanappoo16]

Love your Nike project! Thanks for the tutorial :D

[@luisbenitez5497]

Still a great tutorial 5 years later…thanks!!

[@SteBradburyDesign]

Damn thank dude, I didn't realise how old this video was, that's crazy!

[@mjfermalino224]

short but helpful! thank you very much!

[@XtreamTMGraphicDesigner]

Sick Tutorial Bruv

[@shannonlindon7853]

Very helpful, thanks a bunch!

[@Hellmunz]

Just what I was looking for thank you! So then when you save it, does this automatically become a vector?

[@CharlieAinsworth]

Please make a tutorial on how to erode/ make a vintage logo on illustrator:)

[@melanyarmstrong9329]

Thank you, now I know how to use those strange brush pens.

[@MRmigeek]

Great tut x

[@kwesikevin5509]

Very helpful thank you!

[@Frozkitmach88]

nice one bro, like it :D

[@novafx5448]

Excellent :D

[@aiori134679]

how could the colour of the halftone be changed?? i mean instead of black if i wanted it to be red for example.
thanks.

[@TheLimeCurd]

HELP!! When I apply the Color Halftone effect, the result is not the same as the video. The gradation is expressed with Black-Grey colors in identical size of dots, instead of the SIZE of the dots as shown in the video. Does anyone know how to change this? Using Illustrator 2020 version.

[@laurasha9740]

Me encanto graxx!!

[@JayBaggio]

great thanks!!

[@FlexyVids]

Thank you so much! Been looking for something like this but actually didn't know what this is called l0l.

[@SteBradburyDesign]

FlexyVids No problem bro, glad I could help ;)

[@iyceking7231]

Dope

[@lordshar322]

I wanted too know more about using the mesh tool for like smooth skintones
If you can I'd appreciate it alot.

[@SteBradburyDesign]

Sharif Dunning Ive actually never used the mesh tool before bro, I dont even know what it is if i'm being honest, Ive ever needed to use it I guess :S

[@JamAttack]

I would very much like to know how to use other colors then black as to not desaturate literally everything, but nothing works... I'm a little pissed off tbh.

[@JamAttack]

Update: I didn't find out an easy solution, but I did figure out if you set the dots to 'overlay' they blend much better with the color. If you want a specific color, making the dots into a mask, masking a solid shape of color can work.

[@matteapark4205]

when i do this my circle doesn't get the halftone effect it just liked checkered, what am I doing wrong????

[@juiceallmighty5759]

would u mind sharing your font library?

[@rudhisoegiarto7406]

how about change that dots into our costum shape ?

[@roberth_pereira]

thanks

[@thomdurkin7582]

You sound local, where are you from?

[@SteBradburyDesign]
