    Great tutorial. At the 7:20 mark, you inadvertently taught me how to use the Group Selection Tool LOL! I've wondered for a long time what the heck that tool does but I've been too lazy to Google it. I saw how you used it and it finally occurred to me what it is for. I went right into Illustrator to test it, and it worked perfect. Thank you!

    To my lost comrades-who were searching for a way to freely paint and erase brush strokes:
    Shift + E for an eraser that is not restricted to strokes, paths or fill shapes. Works just like a normal eraser brush! (Remember to select the thing you're trying to clean up, otherwise it will affect the rest of the drawing)
    Shift + B for the blob brush tool, B for regular paintbrush! Perhaps this too, can avoid your issue with erasing things in the first place.

    You explained this so well thank you. I really enjoyed watching this video. Though this isn’t related to this tutorial I have a problem with the pencil tool. When I draw a stroke,
    it works and I am able to create a dashed line too, but when I apply a brush effect to it , I get the effect in spaces like little tiny brush blobs. Could you please help me out?

    • @GDHT
      @GDHT  4 года назад +1

      I don't think you can use the brush and dashed line together. If you want a dotted line, you'll have to use a regular stroke.

      I don't think so - you can change angle, roundness and size, but not beyond that. Can you just use the regular brush, then when finished, expand and unite? That will give the same result as the blob brush.
