Let me just say I've looked at so many videos, and I totally understand that making a video is HARD work so this isn't shade to others who contribute to this platform, but I understand your tutorials the best. The struggle was real, I genuinely thought "I guess I'll never figure out illustrator and I should give up." until I found one of your videos. So thank you so much for uploading all these, I'm going through the illustrator playlist, again, thank you.
Amazing! Thanks so much Krystal :)
This tutorial was so quick and easy to master, I immediately clicked the subscribed and bell to see what else you have in store. Fantastic
Thanks so much Rah!
This is what I call a channel for me. Thank you this channel has changed my approach in design
Thank you so much for the tutorial! :D It helped me so much, also easy to follow, simple and clear. Love it!
THIS IS SO COOL. Im gonna play with this for hours
This is a very complex thing taught in a very small time. I liked it. Please make a tutorial of the animation that you did at the intro.
absolutely amazing! more stuff like that please ))
thanks for all you doing for free Dansky, it's insane!
Incredible! Please share more of your genius.
Hi Dansky! Excellent tutorial, thank you. How can I play around with the offset path settings after the object's been made? And to apply this effect to text, do I just need to make text an object? Lastly, what if we wanted a complete black background - is that possible? Thank you!
For those who doesn't work, change your document colour from CMYK to RGB.
THANKOOOOOYYYYYUUUU
woohoo thanks!@@lugovoy1
Woooww! So amazed about this! I haven't seem anything like that. Thank you very much, Dansky!
Glad you liked it Steven :)
Hi Dansky, super Tutorial. Looking forward to more good tips. Thank you for your support!
You’re welcome Mark! 😀👍
Very useful trick! Merci beaucoup Dan!
This is so fun🤩thank you so much for sharing ❤️
Oh damn, I’ve been doing neon logos recently by offsetting a path, then adding a blur and outer glow, super long winded. Thanks for this! Will save me loads of time
Aha yea, there’s definitely a few ways to do neon/glows! I’m learning quite a bit from downloading vector stock assets, and then digging through the effects in the appearance panel 😊
same goes to me, i never thought this kind of method even create better neon glow. i going to try it into after effect to create great neon animation effect!
amazing talent how you make complex things so easy follow !! thanks a ton.
Thanks Alaa! Ah it’s my more recent voiceover style of videos, that makes it super easy for me to explain things in more detail 🙏
DANSKY IS UNDEFEATED!!!
Wow, I've been searching for this, Thank You.
It's so amazing .thank you
Your slogan is truly represented by your content. I’ll be putting this to practice.
Thank you
Just wow i love it. I used the same concept and recreated it in CSS for my web project. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
You’re welcome ☺️
great tutorial man , thank you !
Awesome thank you!
and here i was thinking i'd have to mess with blending modes and effects for hours. this was seriously a great tutorial, props!
So amazing!
Thanks Mr Dansky!

Hi, fantastic work. I have one question, how do i put on black background without changing the effect? Thanks a lot for your work
Great tutorial
thanks it was so quick and easy to master
This is certainly mind-blowing! Thanx!
Thanks Sheji 😊
Brilliant presentation, and no vulgarity! Well done!
Thank you very f-ing much 😜
really amazing😇
Hello. Great video. Question. The animation of the spot touching the circle was done in After effects?
this really good, ty for sharing these
Glad you like them!
Awesome!
SUPER EASY TUTORIAL DUDE, YOU JUST MADE IT SO EASY,
I love Dansky
Super! Thank you!❤
You're welcome 😊
It's awesome!! Thank you very much!!!
Thank you too! :)
Awesomeeee
Very helpful, and surprisingly therapeutic
Glad it was helpful! :)
This is way better tool than multiple gaussian blur effect
Amazing one.. learnt something new and exciting does it work similar for other shapes ?
This is so cool
You are awesome, I don’t have any other thing to say.
Awesome tutorial!!!! Can't wait to duplicate it! Thanks, mate!
Awesome! You’re welcome 👍
Loved the tutorial! How do you do this for outlined text? When I copy the steps it doesn't blend it randomly copies the text.
WOW! When you started to move the gradient from one side to the other, it completely left me shook. Can this effect be achieved in AfterEffects?
Superb
Oh my god so good explained thank you!!!!
Cheers Roido! 👊
Brilliant
Very awesome
best for ever
Amazing 👏
Cheers, thank you!
That's such a amazing tutorial.
Love🇵🇰
Thank you so much 😀
First off, awesome video!
But, I do have a problem. When copying what you did in the video, using a circle it works just fine.
I do have an object comprised of several lines and arc shapes. Adding the outline path works, when using the blend tool it acts very strange and doesn't spread right and left of the line. It spreads in random directions with different intensities.
Do you or anyone else have a solution for it, what am I doing wrong?
Thank you!
I have the same issue
I am trying to create this but with using a line shape that looks like a T with a extra two horizontal lines one line 3/4 way and the other halfway on the T shape, drawn with pen tool then merged, able to expand but blend tool just multiplies the lines instead of giving that blurred look where you used blend.
I followed your tutorial and had success with using the circle shape. Would anyone know why it does not work with the shape I described? ...Thanks!
Is there a way to cut out the background and just have the neon circle by it's self with a transparent background?
thanks bro 👍
Thanks Mr Dansky
You’re welcome!
hi bro super and i have packaging design and some working tips bro thank you bro
THANKYOUUU!!
You’re welcome 😃
Hey thanks! It's very useful. But when I saved mine, it doesn't save as it looks. Somehow, the neon brush looks more saturated 🥴 help!
Oh god this is amazing it didn't work for me at first bcz I was working with cmyk colors
Perfect 👌
Thanks Ladalidi 😊
@@ForeverDansky I have also made a video with the same technique 11 months ago, and you have made it with a clearer explanation 👍
perfect
Nice
is there any way to make this in illustrator with the laser being transparent?
When is project glow stick coming out?
Wow!
Hi, love the tutorial and intro music. Track name please? :)
For those who got stuck on the Expand part, I had to change my stroke for the object to "Align Stroke to Center" I originally had it set to "Align Stroke to Inside" and Expand was not available.
This is great! Major bummer though; it doesn't work in CMYK.
tanks bro
Hi Danksy, thanks for this. My "shape" keeps getting filled in when I blend, so it's blending on outside, but filling white in the middle. What am I doing wrong? Thank you!
same to me, any help pls
This was a super easy tutorial to follow, instant subscribe for me. My only issue is now that have my shapes created how to I use them so that my background isn't the color for the glow? do I just have to shrink that color box down to the same size as my object or what?
Awesome! Group everything together including the background (Ctrl + G) and then change the blending mode to “Screen”. The background will blend over an image or photo for example 👍
@@ForeverDansky awesome thank you!!
hey dansky first of all thanks for this nice tutorial. but how you animate that neon ball around circle?
Create the gradient shapes (black and white) in Illustrator, export out as separate files and bring into After Effects. Change the blending mode to Colour Dodge for objects in After Effects, and animate each object’s position using keyframes 👍
Cool 😎
Hi, thank you for the tutorial. But I have a problem with it. Whenever I try to blend the expanded ring and the offset path (I tried Blend > Make option too) it doesn't come up blurry or glowy. It looks like a flat stroke in between both shapes. :( Any suggestion?
OK. I figured it out. Maybe it will help someone else. Go to Blend Options > change it from 'Smooth Color' to 'Specified Distance'.. It worked for me. And if there is no plus sign appearing go Object > Blend > Make
Thank you! That did help me!
@@jinyeh8593 glad that it helped!
for some reason the blend looks pixelated
I think Dansky is the Grandfather of Leonardo Da Vinci😍❤️✊
Haha, thanks 😂
@@ForeverDansky 😃😃😃 you are a great teacher boss
Hello Dansky! I have a question, right as I change the circle into color dodge. I'm not getting the glowy circle your getting, I'm getting a more thicker version of it, idk what happened, but I may need your help thanks!
Hey Skye, if you follow the same steps, the glow intensity will be dependant on the size/thickness of the circles you create, and how much of a graduation there is outwards from white to black 😊
Can I make this on illustrator 10 Version?
QUESTION: How can you keep the integrity of the dark black background once you've edited the color palette sliders to the glow you want? I have a client that wants pure black background and can[t seem to achieve this.
I guess you can do this even with types right? Amazing btw
Pretty much anything black and white using colour dodge!
im stuck at 2:46, when i change the opacity normal to color dodge the blue ring is very thick for me & not thin like in the vid
Hi there. Please. How can T export it to photoshop?
Can i do this with a square? 🤔
when i click color dodge, can't change like in the video
Yes we can move it around ✍️ *takes notes* forgets everything else
Hi thank you for this video but can you help me how can make video ??
I have a question, since I am not a graphic designer and I want to make a poster for printing. Can posters with neon elements be made in cmyk format? And what do they look like when they are printed? Of course, I don't think the paper can shine, I just hope it can keep the vibe.
I was having same issues when working in CMYK for a poster.
I yhink this tutorial only works for RGB/digital artworks
Hey Dansky, I keep running into an issue when trying this. I have followed step by step and whenever I try to use the blend tool I do not get the + option on my tool until I click on the object then I have to click on it again and it does not function properly. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
Aha it can be very fiddly! You can also go to “Object -> Blend -> Make” instead 👍
@@ForeverDansky Thanks so much! Last question, I promise, any suggestions on how to flatten the image/take the new object out without losing too many details? This is for a screen print so I am needing it without the background.
