For graphic design - I've learned technical things from school, more creative things from videos, quality from work, and efficiency from myself. A little of everything from everything too. Kinda cool now that you make me think about it.
Your are one of the best teachers in the Illustration and Design world to me. Thank you for all your great work. I nearly inhale all of your videos, starting out Inkscape and Gimp and now kind of professional as I study graphic design, Adobe lessons of you. Wow. Really. You are great and your explanations are perfect for studying.
I’ve struggled to get my head around imaging tracing correctly or how I want it to trace in my head, and within 5mins watching your video I’ve finally cracked it! Thanks for straight forward easily explained video!
thanks for this! I've written down my notes for easy reference image trace feature window > img trace select logo check preview in dialog box mode > black and white or color(takes longer) uncheck preview when done click trace button when happy object > expand > ok object > ungroup - do this twice delete the white stuff
I think this is a the best tutorial that I found for tracing Images and have a basic knowelage, all is explained and that a good strat for some one who tries Illustrator first time
normally i dont give reviews but maam youre amazing like i tried 2 videos on 2020 and one on 2022 but it wont work but i saw yr video today and it worked as being both content creators i respect your hard work and keep it up
Some extra tips: To drag the canvas around, use the *_SCROLL WHEEL BUTTON_* For Pen, press *_P_* For Ellipse, press *_L_* For a quick, manual selection Pathfinder, press *_SHIFT+M_* (you must already have your shapes pre-selected with Shift+click) For the Curve tool, to manually create curves from straight lines, press *_SHIFT+C_* To mirror+rotate+changing the center point of shapes, press *_O_*
uhm, how do I express my gratefulness... uh... maybe this will put it on point: I LOVE YOU!? ♥ Your voice is super nice and soothing, the way you explain things is absolutely easy to understand and what can I say? I AM IN LOVE!! Big THANK YOU to you, Sir.
Thank you for your help, this days it's difficult to come by people like you, i want you to know that my heart will never stop appreciating your generosity..
You are wonderful! I've been trying to figure out how to turn a logo I created on Canva into a Vector for months now. Thank you so so much for this video! You absolutely just made my year!
Thank you, you have no idea how unintuitive it is to be able to get an auto trace to not be a filled polygon because of the expand button. I really appreciate this video!
Thank you so much this video was SUPER helpful! I had asked a coworker to send a logo for merchandise and they sent a super low resolution jpg. This makes my life 1000 times easier
This has just saved me from insanity, why Trace wasn't working I've just realized the Pixel Preview (View) was checked, for last couple of days! 😳 Now everything is sharp 😊 Tip; The curvature tool: you can drag around the anchor points with same tool, really good
Your instructions were brilliantly simple to follow. Worked on the first try (which isn't always the case with youtube instructors 😅). Thank you for sharing your skills.
In this particular case you could just trace a straight line on the middle of logo. Making only one side, then reflecting it on vertical and creating the another side. It's twice faster.
A 2nd shortcut for this logo is to notice the symmetry in the left & right hemispheres. This would cut the tracing time in half. Copy. Transform/Reflect. Position/Join. Also, this would insure consistancy.
This was absolutely brilliant, but it got to the end and I know nothing about illustrator, so now I need to figure out how to resize the canvas to be the same size as the image was originally, and how to save it and alls sorts 😅
THANK YOU! I'm trying to get this tshirt design finished for the printer! Also a tip for others; DON'T press CTRL/CMD + Y!!! I did it by accident and it turned everything black and white! To undo it, just press ctrl+y again, problem solved.
How do I save a copy of my vectorized PNG after using the image tracer (which worked great), and in what format so I can use it without having to open a SVG copy in Firefox, or Illustrator ESP file?
Im here for the same qouestion - can I open this vecot file only in Ai? Or this is like a "basic'' (tamplate) and I can resize the vecor file in Ai and save as pgn file in any kind of size I want and the file dont lose the quality? Is it works like that?
hey im trying to trace a really simple logo but it just wont work, when i press on preview it just makes a rectangle. Please help me ive been trying to do this for 3 hours now
I ve tried opening a logo png file in blue and white lettering but, when I expand and ungroup - the white font disappears- am I doing something wrong- I tried with both- .png and .png optimized
Hi I am new to your channel thank you vey much for a good tutorial. could you tell me if i am to draw a pine cone, after drawing it how can i add different tones in it? will appreciate ur reply
For some reason I still don't have the bottom part of your right side menu with stroke and transparency tabs even though I followed your guides for which things to have open and which to have closed. Any tips?
This has taught me more than what my professor in college is teaching me right now, I highly appreciate this!

image trace feature
window > img trace
select logo
check preview in dialog box
mode > black and white or color(takes longer)
uncheck preview when done
click trace button when happy

GREAT THUMBNAIL. Just perfectly illustrative, yet clever.
This has just saved me from insanity, why Trace wasn't working
I've just realized the Pixel Preview (View) was checked, for last couple of days! 😳 Now everything is sharp 😊
Tip; The curvature tool: you can drag around the anchor points with same tool, really good

Not to overstate things but you just changed my life
THANK YOU! I was struggling and couldnt figure out how to take out the white background for the longest time!
the only video that was and informative for those that already have the basic knowledge THANK YOU!!
Very calm and easy to understand, easy to digest from a pedagogical aspect.
when I go to drag the white background as seen at 3:15 it drags the whole image not just the white.
THANK YOU FOR BEING A GREAT TEACHER
eventually it all snapped into place and I started learning how to add all the effects, titles, motion text. It was pretty cool to see my
Gee, I might actually be able to learn Illustrator with your videos. Thanks so much for your clear instructions.
Wow the most informative illustrator video I've ever watched THANK YOU
Thank you so much, you helped me trace my tattoo on my body from a photo, into a vector I can now use indefinitely for branding/marketing.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. It's like the 3rd time that I have to check this and this video has helped me a lot. Thank you!!!
In this particular case you could just trace a straight line on the middle of logo.
Making only one side, then reflecting it on vertical and creating the another side.
It's twice faster.
The starbucks logo istn't perfectiy symmetrical though. I would however, provide a great base to adjust and probably make it faster either way
As a newbie kindly asked:
How to so?
Getting a line in the middle and make a "copy" to the other side?
Straighten and to the point. Thanks, that helped a lot.
FINALLY, someone demonstrates it quickly and clearly. Thank you!
3:26 why was it so necessary to remove the whites bckground from the logo ? just curious
Nice that's why Adobe Illustrator is the best in making a vector images
thank you for throwing in the alt+mousewheel tip. I was going crazy lol.
THANK YOU!!! I have been searching so long and your short and very helpful shows up. Strong work!!!
Loved how I watched this seeing if can learn anything, this all stuff I already knew. Skills stay with you for life.
You are a best teacher! Keep it on!
3:16 how did you separate the background from the rest? what did you click?
Thank you!! This was my first time cracking open Illustrator since I got my student access to Adobe, and you had exactly the info I needed.
This was excellent! You helped me finish a project for work. Many thanks!
Mind blown. You just made my job 10x easier.
AMAZIIIIING!
Excellent Instructional - Many thanks.
Thank you so much to specify every command you do at the video. Awesome job!
A 2nd shortcut for this logo is to notice the symmetry in the left & right hemispheres. This would cut the tracing time in half.
Copy. Transform/Reflect. Position/Join. Also, this would insure consistancy.
Yes, trace one side, copy, paste and flip horizontal
it didnt look perfectly symmetrical to me
Yes, her eyes are not the same, and the shadow on her nose
