Thank you!

Yes, even though you can figure out how to get shading to generally go where you want it, it's often trial and error, and you may never be able to replicate the results exactly a second time. But it's still a cool way to add some highlights. It sounds like your artwork is very detailed. I imagine it's wonderful!

Good question. It's not quite that simple. Draw your line. Direct select the starting anchor and make a note of the X and Y coordinates. Then, select the line, go to the Transform area of the Properties Panel and click on the elipsis. In the panel that pops up, make sure "Scale Corners" and "Scale Strokes and Effects" are checked, then type in the NEW length of the line. THEN, direct select the starting anchor and type in the original X and Y coordinates. Your line should be where it was when it started, including the same angle, but the length will have changed. Hope this helps. Too bad there isn't an easier way. Let me know if you find one.

In order to use the align stroke to inside or align to outside options, you must first covert your text to outlines (see 1:21). It sounds to me like you might have missed this step. Let me know if this helps.

@@SusanRutledge I did check to make sure I had outlined the text. Any other thoughts? Thanks for responding! :)

It sounds like you don't have the Bounding Box option turned on. Go to View>Show Bounding Box. On a MAC, the keyboard shortcut is Shift+Command+B. I think this will solve your problem. Please let me know! FYI, the Bounding Box can be a very useful tool for resizing and other actions. I usually leave it turned on.

You're welcome. I'm glad you found it easy to follow. Thanks for leaving a comment!

Unfortunately, I don't think you can join the layers, even after expanding them. At least, I couldn't find a way. But if you can figure one out, please let me know!

Thank you for the encouraging comment. I'm glad you find my tutorials helpful. Best wishes on your studies!

No, the gradient mesh always has to be applied to a fill color. However, you could use a VERY light white as a fill. Try RCB 255, 255, 254. It won't be a transparent fill, but it will at least allow you to create your accents without a visible background. Hope this helps.

You are welcome! Your comment put a smile on my face this morning! Thanks for sharing my tutorial with your students!

You are welcome. Thanks for watching!

I wish I could say yes, but I'm not aware of a way to do this. Sorry.

@SusanRutledge I looked everywhere... And this feature doesn't exist! It's incredible that Adobe never thought of implementing it, as it would be very useful for fine-tuning a project... And technically, there would be no difficulty in magnetizing objects on the grid! I find that this company sells its software at a very high price, but that the development is not up to the price paid... Thanks anyway for your help 🙏

@@SusanRutledge I found them all - saved them for my lessons. Thank you so much.

Unfortunately, I don't believe you can. You will have to create each brush with the fill color you want to use. It shouldn't take much extra time. You can even duplicate the original brush to save time, then bring in the new pattern tile (hold down the OPT key on a MAC, ALT key on a PC) and drag it right in on top of the first pattern tile (it will be the second slot from the left). Hopefully you can make sense of my response. Best wishes.

I couldn't tell if you were asking a question here.

Thank you for your comments. I'm so glad you found my tutorial helpful. Isn't technology wonderful where I can create a video in Texas, USA and you can learn from it on the other side of the planet. I love it!

I wouldn't want to steer you wrong, so please consult the Adobe website for answers. I BELIEVE most of your generated patterns can be used commercially (without images of people in them) unless specifically designated otherwise by the product. But I don't think you can copyright them. Please consult Adobe for their official answer.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it!

You're welcome. Glad it helped. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

You'll have to expand your design, and then ungroup. You should be able to select individual pieces after that.

I will put that on my list!

You're welcome. Glad it helped!

You are welcome. And thank you for the feedback. I get complaints from others who say the keyboard shortcuts are a distraction. I'm trying to find a happy medium...but I DO believe that if you use practice using keyboard shortcuts, they become second nature and it greatly speeds up your workflow!

I'm glad you found it. Thanks for leaving a comment. I hope you found it helpful. The perspective grid is a pretty cool tool, but definitely not intuitive. Once you know the tricks, it works like a charm!

Well, greetings from Texas USA!

I'm so glad I could help! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

There may be, but I couldn't tell you how. It might require reprogramming the software and that's way out of my area of expertise! Sorry.

Using grid repeat, you can't have one item different from the rest - UNLESS, after you have the grid like you want it, you Expand it. It will no longer function as a grid, but you can use the Direct Selection Tool and select individual pieces in the grid and make changes to any of them you want to. Hope this helps. Let me know.
