I really appreciate how thoroughly you explain artboards and how and when to use them!
Thank you so much!! 😊
Your content on Artboards is straight to the point. Thank you so much.
You’re welcome 😊 and thank you!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! New subscriber - I love how simple you make things.
Sarah Nenni-Daher Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
I'm making a book and need around 30 pages that are so similar. Never used artboards before but this made it easy to understand and will make my life much easier. Thanks
If you have that many pages, I would absolutely use InDesign instead!
@@GDHT yes, I'm using that too. I just have super similar images to then add to a larger book.
Ok, I see! :) I do think Illustrator can be helpful in that case. Do you use Master Pages in InDesign?
so grateful for this. Thank you so much.
You're welcome 😊

Hi Anne, thank you for your awesome tutorial. I have subscribed now. I have drawn 32 full page illustrations in 32 files for a book for children. I am going to copy and paste each illustration into one file now so I can work on preparing them for pre-press, e.g. converting all rich black strokes to weak black and so on. I will also use the new file to check for trapping. I am hoping that this will speed up the process. I never intended to be a graphic designer, but I have learnt so much that I quite like it. I have always been a pen and paper illustrator but moving to digital there are just so many possibilities. Thank you for your help.
Wow, that sounds like quite a project! 32 full illustrations in one document might slow your system down, hopefully not, though. Goog luck!!
Very helpful. I never the how and why. This helped a lot!
You're welcome...and thank you!!
THANK YOU!
You're welcome!
Thanks.. Happy Thanksgiving!
You too!!
Thank you for demystifying artboards!
You're welcome!!
This is awesome! Based on your advice, I am now using whiteboards in Adobe Illustrator for a book I am writing. My book has a child's name customized on each page of the book. Do you know of some way where I can have it so I can edit the name in one story board and have the name updated in all of the other story boards?
If you're creating a LOT of pages (more than 6 or so), I would use InDesign. InDesign also makes it really easy to work with placed files - you can update one and it will update everywhere that placed file exists.
Thank you so much this vid was amazing. I was wondering how were you able to split your artboards into sections in the layers bar on the right? Ex: Artboard 1, Artboard 2 etc. For me I can see all the shapes I have made but they are not seperated into artboard folders which makes it difficult to oraganize for animation purposes. Thanks so much again.
I never actually use layers like this, so I'm not really sure (I generally rarely use the layers palette other than locking a layer). I don't use it to organize. Sorry I couldn't be more help!
Geneva - what you are calling layers is not the layers panel but rather the Artboard panel - each artboard has it's own row on the Artboard panel and then you can rename and re-order so it does operate similarly to Layers
Just wondering why the cursor is so jumpy in comparison to your skillshare video? And so much extra movement with it. I have a bit of a vision problem and all the jumpiness is difficult. Still super love listening and learning. I've learned so much in 2 days already from your videos. Thank you for helping others out on their journey to Illustrator joy!
Aughhh - I'm sorry! I use a Wacom tablet, and I move so much faster with it, but it causes the jumpy look. I've recorded using just the Macbook touchpad (like the Skillshare videos) and it's greatly reduced...I'll try to remember to use that instead when recording. Thank you for the feedback, it is very helpful! And I'm so glad you're finding the videos useful!!
Let say, I have 5 artboards in a file and I want to place 3 artboards from that file to another file. How to do it once?
Because I did it one time but I don't have an idea 'how'. I place a file then I saw number 5/5 and using arrow left and right I can pick what artboard to place. After trying to do it again, I have no luck. Now I'm staring to think that was a bug.
You can do File > Place, then at the bottom choose Show Import Options. But this brings the artwork in as a placed image, not editable vector...and you have to place the pages one at a time. It also doesn't bring the artboard itself in; just the artwork (doesn't add an artboard). I would just create new artboards in the doc that are the same size, then copy from the old doc and paste in place on the new one. I hope this helps!
This is a great video. I have another question about artboards: how to organize layers with multiple artboards? In Sketch or Figma, each artboard has separate layer, but in Illustrator, there's no relation between artboard and layer. So in practice, if you create multiple artboards in one file, and by default, there's only one layer across all artboards, this means that all objects of these Artboards are mixed together. This is very annoying...
Thank you!! I don't use layers in this way - I basically ignore them and I don't organize them at all...so I may not be the best person to ask. But one thing you might try is to use your selection tool to draw a box around everything on your artboard and group it. That would put it all on the same layer.
Graphic Design How To thanks the last three lines was my answer.
600th like ♥
Thank you!!!
Love this tutorial , after doing branding collataral like flyers , to send to clients or printers , do you do (export as) or package ? Whats the difference please thanks 🙏
Thank you!! For printers, I just send a PDF. For clients, it depends on what your agreement is with them. I personally package the files and zip them for clients.
@@GDHT Brilliant thanks ..would love to see your process how you to package the finished projects and send clients ..if u done a video already on this .. please let me know
Actually, yes I have!: ruclips.net/video/VL_nP-DAkZU/видео.html
@@GDHT u are on a roll lol thanks
:D You're welcome!!
How do you use layers with artboards?
You can just use them like normal - you don't have to do anything special. :)
THANK YOU for explaing WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome!! 😀
XLnt.
Thank you!!
now we also can export works as template.
Do you mean saving as a .ait file? I think we've always had that ability.
@@GDHT *window* > Asset Export. From here we can export our multiple arts in one go and we also have the option of exporting them in 3/more(maybe) different format. To be honest with you, I am using illustrator for like 1 year. So I am new here and don't know much about the history of this software. It's possible that this feature could have existed long before.
Oh I see what you mean. The Asset export is relatively new. I thought you meant doing Save As and then choosing .ait. Yes, the Asset Export feature is a great thing!!
Everybody explains the same basic entry level filler bs when uploading A video on Art boards, but there're people who would LOVE to learn what Art Boards can be used in dev or design like Calendars... Js
Hmm, I'm not sure exactly what you mean with artboards for calendars. For web dev, Adobe XD is probably better...if that's what you meant.
