How To Apply Textures with Adobe Illustrator

  • Texture masking is a great way to add a worn, aged look to your vector designs. In this tutorial I’ll be demonstrating how you can apply a distressed texture with Illustrator.
    Adobe Illustrator is typically used for vector graphic design, but in some instances you can use raster images to enhance your vector creations. Texture masking is a great example of such, and in Illustrator we can use the opacity mask feature to accomplish this.
    You can grab my bundle of free distressed textures here: logosbynick.co...
    If you want to learn more about logo design, be sure to check out my Logo Design Academy - an interactive 18-part video course where you will learn my entire creative process for coming up with logo ideas and implementing them: logosbynick.co...

    Oml thank you so much for this tutorial. This is just what I needed for my character design project. For those of you a bit confused on going back to your original layers, just click the original image in the transparency box and it should take you back!

    Can I just tell you how incredibly intuitive and easy this tutorial made it for me? I've been struggling with this FOREVER and most videos take 20mins just to get to the point where they OPEN illustrator. I love this. SUBSCRIBED!

    • @anime-nn9kl

      IKR. I bought some plug in, and it STILL took 20 minutes, and the result wasn't half as easy to edit. SUBSCRIBED!

    @rafaelmartinsdecastro7641 Год назад

    The video is pretty good. The only comment I would add is that when you select the black square and paste your mask onto it is like you are pasting it on a separate "opacity mask canvas". When I understood that, it made it easier for me to understand the overall mechanics behind the whole process.

      illustrator is lot more simpler than those raster programs. Its very fast to make what u want to make and u can probably make more money faster using Illustrator than ai. Funnily those concept artist are paid less than ui/logo/etc artist lol. Since every artists be like i want to make concept art especially characters. So, there are way too many of them

    • @martinrodenbeck6874
      @martinrodenbeck6874 3 года назад +4

      Try clicking on the first box (selecting the artwork) again. You should exit the mask selection this way and once more be able to see your other layers.
