@Nova Jamie thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Please don’t be afraid to do more detailed tutorials such as this. Not necessarily “basics”, but even the best illustrator has that thing they seem to struggle with. Maybe it’s shadows+highlights, or maybe it’s the pathfinder tool. Watching the way someone does something can make it “click” all of the sudden, so these videos are gold! Thank you
I have been searching for this technique for months. However you are the only youtuber who explained the shadow and highlights technique in detail and easy to follow language. Thank you so much for this video.
I have been watching a lot of your videos in the last 24 hours. You have given me a spark to get back to creating. I really enjoy watching your videos and creating a colorful piece from a sketch. Keep it up ☺️
Sir, i have learned lots of basic tools and tricks by you.... that i cound'nt found anyewhere, Really you are my best pathfinder of life, thank you so much sir...
3:53 how did you select 2 circles out of the three? If I select them, the third circle will also be selected, which makes it impossible to do a shadow, how did you do this so easily? i cant figure it out
i am stuck on 3:55, when i choose the "Shape builder tool" and when i move my arrow to the circle it highlight the whole circle instead of just the part outside of the black ring
When I select both circles at 6:58 and then Shape Builder, it also makes it my little highlight part of the shape you can delete. When I watch your video I see that your little highlight does not get the red around it as another part of the shape you can delete. I've gone back and tried to redo this in case I missed something but cannot figure it out. Why is your little highlight not getting the red path around it and mine is?
Please make more tutorials like this!!! This was very helpful Thanks for this!! I am a beginner and trying to learn illustrator!! Once again thanks for helping!!
The shape builder thing tool is not working for me... I'm able to delete the protruding segment of the circle... But when I come to the center and try to delete it, the original yellow get's deleted as well... And my third circle disappears
Hi, i got that too, i was searching for the solution and found it! The solution is that you probably don't use the "stroke" panel. you can add this by going to window > stroke. if you get a very small panel, you can click on two small arrows on that panel until it becomes the biggest size. then you have to set Cap to Round cap(2nd one). hope this helps!
I got lost at about 3:50 i dont know what the option button is and it wants to select the whole circle. Also i think i messed up from the beginning but ill keep trying, thanks for the tut!
thnx! im watching ur vids everyday to learn illustration ! its super helpful!! tho im having a little hard time, ur explanations really help me to get rid of problems !
Hi Dom - great video - very easy to follow. I had one question though ; why do you need to add two new copies in front of the original purple ball when you only edit one of them? Apologies if i have misunderstood something here!
So basically I do 3 copies of the purple base colour. The top 2 layers will be selected when using the shape builder. The reason why we have a 3rd layer at the bottom is to make sure the original layer stays untouched. :)
@Dom Designs how can I have the DOM COLOR PALETTE. I really want the same color palette. is there a way to import it into my illustrator or maybe the color codes.
i am having issues with the shadow ........... when i make 3 copies of the circle to create the moon shape for the shadow , the shape builder tool cuts through the 2 circle, giving me 2 moon shapes ....... bro do u have like a community because i have alot of questions and no one to answer them for me
Personally I prefer using gradient fills, but your technique is definitely better for more of a cell shaded design. It's too bad you can't make a gradient immediately change from one colour to another like you can in something like Blender. You can get close though.
HELLO GOOD DAY. IM NEWBIE AND BEGINNER HERE IN ADOBE PHOTOSHOP. I LIKE YOUR TUTORIAL. I LEARN MORE LESSONS FROM YOU. I SUBSCRIBE YOUR CHANNEL. THANKS, GOD BLESS YOUR TUTORIAL
You should try explaining why you do such things. For example, "make into an object and outline stroke", many of us do not why that is. Another example, "copy and paste, and bring to the back", why? Many more but won't list it.

Hello, can I ask at the 2:07 minute mark why you need to copy and paste in the back on that layer? Thank you.

Genius! Just what I searched for.
The shape builder thing tool is not working for me... I'm able to delete the protruding segment of the circle... But when I come to the center and try to delete it, the original yellow get's deleted as well... And my third circle disappears
Definitely a great video
How did you get the curved lines rounded at the end at 3:00?
I am getting it sharp.
:'(

I got lost at about 3:50 i dont know what the option button is and it wants to select the whole circle. Also i think i messed up from the beginning but ill keep trying, thanks for the tut!
“Option” is what Mac users call the ALT key on your PC keyboard.
thnx! im watching ur vids everyday to learn illustration ! its super helpful!! tho im having a little hard time, ur explanations really help me to get rid of problems !
Found your channel and subscribed and bookmarked...great content met late but thanks for there
3:53 i can't delete only parts of the circle, it just selects the whole circe for me
You need to select both upper circles before you activate the shape builder tool.
@@Irukanokado how do i do this lol

Bro you’re a champ!!
Thank you dude!! :)
I still dont understand... when you copy and paste and then you move the new shape is moves only fill and the stroke is vanished? How is that??
Thank you for the knowledge, I really appreciate it thanks and btw may I know what workspace you're using? thank you in advance Dom
The lesson is also wonderful, the shadow and how to draw it
Great tutorial!! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!

How do you deleted anchor point by using direction selection tool?
With the direct selection tool. Just click on a point and press "delete" on your keyboard
@@DomDesigns Thank you Sir! I have been learning a lot from your skills.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Hello can you please tell how you are copying and pasting without stroke
Thank you and it's easy for me to understand.
Glad it was helpful!
How to create color palette from bright to dark color?
Honestly its really all by the eye and being used to the colours!
Adobe has an online tool for that which can be quite useful
3:50 doesnt wor, just deletes the whole circle for me, been stuck on it for past 30mins infuriatingly frustrating
OMG I FOUND IT OUT< I WAS SUPPOSE TO SELECT BOTH THE CIRCLES I JUST MADE JKLEAFGHRSETGJKKSLHGLJRESKHLRTDLKJXSGLKRHSJLRTHRDFKSXWE
thanks alot , that was really clear and helpful.
Glad it helped!
So helpful! Thank you👍
@Dom Designs how can I have the DOM COLOR PALETTE. I really want the same color palette. is there a way to import it into my illustrator or maybe the color codes.
Thanks that last part I'm working on it right now.
My shape builder tool never picks parts of the circle always the whole circle 🤔
Select the first and the current circle.
i am having issues with the shadow ........... when i make 3 copies of the circle to create the moon shape for the shadow , the shape builder tool cuts through the 2 circle, giving me 2 moon shapes ....... bro do u have like a community because i have alot of questions and no one to answer them for me
Thank you very much!!!! I achieved the effect I want!!!! Thank you~~~
You're welcome 😊
Choosing black for shadow and change the blend mode to multiple then reduce opacity ; )
Yes, it's another way :)
Thank you for your direction. Can you direct me how to do from 2:58 to 2:59?
Hello, did you find it?
@@Blaze72sH Press (P) Pen tool and click the point at the same time => then press W to delete, then do it again with the next point
brilliant brilliant
Haha thanks for the support!
Thank you Dom, Soo inspiring
Im glad you enjoyed it 😊
What we should do with lights and shadows of complicated figures
Personally I prefer using gradient fills, but your technique is definitely better for more of a cell shaded design. It's too bad you can't make a gradient immediately change from one colour to another like you can in something like Blender. You can get close though.
Thank you! that was really clear and helpful
I keep trying the shape builder tool and it keeps deleting all the layers! Please help! 😫
more tutorials of this style of shadows :3
Awesome! I will in the future :)
I can't re-size the stroke at 3:10... The width tool doesn't works if someone can help me
I have found the problem, i just change the form of the stroke so I have to change the round stroke in the F10 menu ;)
Glad you figured it out :)
I made it the 1000th like 😃👍
Thats awesome, thank you for your support! It means a lot to me :)
Loved it
Awesome!!
thanks you !!
You're welcome!
the shape builder tool erases the whole shape for me how do i fix it
I am doing a giraffe drawing in illustrator, trying to add shadows. What tool can I use for shadows?
There isn't an exact tool for shadows. You would need to draw the shadows as shapes and play with the colour tones :)
How do you just copied and pasted the color only ...where did the stroke go???
THANKS!
You're welcome!
I love it
Thank you!
In 3:56 I don’t understand what’s happening?plz answer ☺️
When I delete an anchor point my shape is not open like yours but it connects the remaining anchor points to eachother. You know why?
Hi, can you please send me the time stamp so I can better help you? :) Cheers!
