I'm sorry that you felt this was useless. It's very disheartening to know that all of the time I spend making tips like this to try help people for free is seen as useless. This is why people who are kind and helpful to society just stop trying to help at a certain point. I spend hundreds of hours a year volunteering my time to teach and help people and answer questions. Multiple times in the last year, I've taken a few hours out of my day to make a custom video or get on a call to walk people through a problem and help them without asking for anything back. You can look through my comments on this channel, I go out of my way to try to answer any question people ask. If this video didn't answer you question and you had asked it in a comment instead of calling me useless I would have helped you.

You're welcome! 💖

You're welcome! Glad you found it useful!

happy to help!

I'm glad you found them helpful! 😊

Are you getting any error message? most of the time this view is because you've switched to outline mode but occasionally it's because Illustrator is unable to render your file due to lack of memory. Usually a restart of Illustrator and your computer will help with this but there are some other troubleshooting steps to try here: helpx.adobe.com/ca/illustrator/kb/not-enough-memory-illustrator-cc.html Hope that helps!

Happy to help!

Glad it worked!

It can be addicting once you start playing with pixel art! If you get into it and want to do more that doesn't need to be vector I'd recommend trying out a pixel art specific app. I love Aseprite for any non vector pixel work. Cheers! Kat

Hi Angelique, what happens when you try to change the color in the new file? Did you import the graphic styles and apply it to art in the new file or copy and paste art from the tutorial file?

@@VectorArtAcademy yes so I was able to put it into my graphic styles and be able to use it in my file but somehow now the colors when I try to change the color for another object, they both change into the new color 😭

Ah yes, that's because the Global Swatch is mapped to the styles so you need to do a little work around to make additional styles in a new color. My quick work around for this is just to copy and paste the artwork temporarily into a new document, change the global swatch to whatever color you like, then select the art with the new color and copy /paste it back into your main document. When you bring it back in you'll get the new global swatch added to your palette and you can save the new neon color to the graphic styles panel the same way we did for the original. This way you can build a file with a whole set of custom neon effects and apply different colors to different elements in your design. It's similar to this process for making thicker or thinner versions of the style ruclips.net/video/1emGE6vXG1M/видео.html but you will need that separate temp file for color change. I hope that helps!

Aww thank you so much! I'm happy it was helpful! 😊

i've tried the show and hide corner widget thing

I have an idea of how I would do this, you can look into Pattern Brushes. With those you can define corner tiles to get the right shape and then apply that brush as a stroke to the shape with the rectangle effect and that should work. If you have trouble feel free to shoot me an email with some more details at Kat at vectorart.acadmey and I can take a look first thing when I'm back in the office on Monday.

Thank you! Happy to help 😊

Hi, sorry I would need more details to figure out what is going on. The first thing I would check is that the order of everything is correct in the Appearance panel and matches the order in the tutorial. You can also check which piece you haves elected in the Layers Panel.

No problem 😊

Hi Camille, the first thing I would check is which selection tool you are using, the Direct Select (white arrow) is the one you can use to select individual points. Also before you start making your selection, make sure there is nothing selected either by going to the Select menu and choosing Deselect or by click on an empty area of the pasteboard. You can also check what you have currently selected by checking the Layers Panel. I hope that helps! ~ Kat

Glad I could help!

Glad you enjoyed the tutorial! 😊

Hi Catherine! No worries you don't have to adjust every layer you can scale the effect and resave the graphic style. I made a quick walkthrough on that process here: ruclips.net/video/1emGE6vXG1M/видео.html

@@VectorArtAcademy thank you so much!

Happy to help! 😊

Thank you! I'm so glad it was helpful 😊

Hi Augustin, I'd be happy to help, which parts are you having trouble with? I recently added a tutorial on creating a brush to add the sparkles you see in the advanced version I showed at the end ruclips.net/video/-_S34Y1FCIg/видео.html and you can download the project files for that including the finished advanced example file and brush for free here: www.patreon.com/posts/112308020

Wow, I really can't thank you enough for the kind words Chip! This means a lot to me especially coming from someone with your experience. I've only been learning video production for a couple of years now and just shifted to teaching recently as well. I've had a few sleepless nights wondering if I'm on the right track and getting a comment like this is so incredibly encouraging. Thank you so much! I also checked out your channel and subscribed, you have so many amazing stories there, I've already bookmarked about half a dozen to watch later. Cheers! Kat

@@VectorArtAcademy Wow, what a reply!!! Thank you back!!!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hi Mohammad, I just updated to 28.7.1 to check it out and it seems like global swatches are still working fine. What kind of error are you getting?

It happens! I still hit shortcut keys by accident at least once a week 😅

Ha ha you and me both. 😂

I'm glad you liked it!

Happy to help!

Por lo general, si eso sucede, significa que la ilustración no estaba seleccionada cuando cambiaste la muestra. El panel Apariencia te permitirá realizar ajustes incluso si no hay nada seleccionado, por lo que esto puede resultar confuso.

@@VectorArtAcademy FALTABA EN LA PARTE DE ARRIBA HACER CLICK EN LAS FLECHITAS DE LA MISMA SOLAPA!.

@@VectorArtAcademy Pudiste hacer el tutorial para texto ?.

Puedes probar este archivo: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/k6ms09asc7m4k1ajxshsx/Neon-Effect-Graphic-Style-Thin-Neon-for-Text.ai?rlkey=pnpsztnhrzohg94cdyziuq49a&st=qrsxpz7h&dl=0 es un versión más delgada del efecto que funciona bien en fuentes en negrita, aquí he usado Arial Rounded MT Bold

Thank you so much!

Thank you! I do strive for brevity 😁

Happy to help!

This tutorial is for creating vector based pixel art, it's a bit of a niche use case but works out really well for promotional art for pixel art games.

You are very welcome!

Sorry for the late answer! This is a different issue which usually has to do with lack of RAM or other other limiting factors with your hardware for a complex file.

Glad it helped!
