yea but it doesnt work for me. if i merge the original layer with an empty layer above it.. it just keeps the white background and nothing happening. i wonder what could i do wrong. it looks so easy here and i was so glad i've finally found a good solution..but it seems like no shortcuts for me..
alright. just so you know.. if you skip the "layer style blend if grey adjustment" thing, it doesnt work... but after i tried that also, it magically started to work. and i'm also high right now, maybe thats part of the problem too.
Inspired me to start hand lettering, after watching a lot of your videos. Being a graphic designer there's always new tools popping up to help with my work but sometimes nothing beats a pen, a bit of paper and hours and hours of practice... Cheers Ste!
Looks amazing! By the way, if you hold alt and click between the layers 4 and 3, the layer on top would only apply over the layer under it. (try it and you'll understand what i mean) I think it's a bit easier and quickier
When you merged the "C" and the "l" together it would have been a good idea to select the eraser and just take a soft large brush and click on the part where the "C" wraps around and connects to the "l", and it would have made the gradient between the "C" and "l" completely seamless. Looks great either way. Good job!
This video is captivating and masterful (apart from the advertising, but artists gotta eat, we get it). It's such a joy to watch your tutorials, can't wait to give it a go.
awh thank you man, I honestly really appreciate that comment! I thought people would be bitching and crying because of the sponsored ad, so Im glad you understand! :)
thank you for your awesome tutorials, I've recently just jumped back into Illustrator after 6 years of not touching on it..great inspiration to push me forward to get back into art.
Great tutorial! I'd work non-destructively though, using adjustment layers and keeping them as smart objects and at 16:30 just Alt-Click between the two layers to automagically clip the top layer :)
Hi man i try to contact you last week through email, but so far I got no answer :/ you still accepting freelancing? Really like your work and want to put it in some designs.
For limiting the shadows to only show on the type layer, it would be just as easy to just create a clipping mask from the shadows onto the text! Either way, great video! :)
ahh yes! Ive never been one for using clipping masks because I never really understood them that much for some reason, but since recording this video, I have finally took some time to get to understand what they are, and I actually use them now :D You will see in one of my future tutorials where I use a clipping mask for a texture! Thank you for your input and advice though, hopefully it will helps others :)
I was thinking the same. Maybe it was just a more comprehensive process. Nonetheless, this is a great video and tutorial. Knowing how to keep the brush texture is very useful.
great buddy we need more and more handlettering tuts bcz there r very rare techer like you :p do take care of your youtube students from time to time my friend plz +ste bradbury just loved this tutorial man
You should blend the "C" to "larity" with a layer mask and a soft brush before you merge them. After you merged the two layers you can still clearly see where one layer ends and the other one begins.
This is a great tutorial! I'd love to learn how to do the splash effects around the text on some of your other tutorials. Maybe I just haven't stumbled across the right video yet. Or is it just splatter brushes? thanks!
If you were to vectorize this(to be able to size it up and down without quality degredation) How would you trace this perfectly as it is without compromise? Making it into a vector
Hey, great tutorial! Question: what if paths cross? would it be ideal to use the scissors tool or the shape builder tool? I'm kinda stuck doing trial and error for now. Thanks in advance!! -Edwin
Great tuto. I'm really much more in video rather than photo but I don't know how I can animate things like your intro. I mean on the fondamental concept: Do you have your logo as a picture that you animate with masks or do you really make your logo in after effect?
Sick !!! I was always wondering how you do the step between the scan and photoshop , that's help me a lot. Good work man, keep going :) Do you use a particular scan for this ? Because I've been trying with mine and this is kind of messy , there is too much pixel. :/
That trick of removing the original scanned background with layer options is so cool - thank you for sharing!

After so many Canadian and American channels, I love hearing a fellow UK Northerner, and delivering such quality videos! Cheers pal!
Dude! thank you so much for this. Giving away this information for free is crazy.
Doesn't like as complicated as I thought it was gonna be. Thanks!

Yea so you could just hold alt and click the layer below.

I've been using photoshop for years and never even noticed the 'Blend If' section. That just blew my mind! Haha!
Set Sail ditto!
Amazing tutorial, thank u so much for sharing such useful information
Quick shortcut... once you have the pen shape closed up, you can hit Cmd or Ctrl + Return and it makes the selection that way.
This is awesome! gotta buy pens like those too. This is actually great for personalized t-shirt printings.. :D u earned my +sub man.
Awesome tutorial! I love it =)

You should blend the "C" to "larity" with a layer mask and a soft brush before you merge them. After you merged the two layers you can still clearly see where one layer ends and the other one begins.
Amazing work, I would like to know how to put this on a t-shirt
This is a great tutorial! I'd love to learn how to do the splash effects around the text on some of your other tutorials. Maybe I just haven't stumbled across the right video yet. Or is it just splatter brushes?
thanks!
Freakin awesome video! Your work is excellent!
The First Song is actually: 20syl - Voices feat. Rita J. (Thoughts become actions)
If you were to vectorize this(to be able to size it up and down without quality degredation) How would you trace this perfectly as it is without compromise? Making it into a vector
That's insane !
Depending on what you choose the size of the document ?
I'd like to know how you apply that grunge texture and splashes I saw on this video thumbnail and "Handlettering Monoline" either
Thanks man
I love your promo!
A W E S O M E !
Hey, great tutorial!
Question: what if paths cross? would it be ideal to use the scissors tool or the shape builder tool?
I'm kinda stuck doing trial and error for now.
Thanks in advance!!
-Edwin
This is amazing
love the intro can u do a tutorial on that ?
my mind is blown.
Thanks!!!!
Great tuto. I'm really much more in video rather than photo but I don't know how I can animate things like your intro. I mean on the fondamental concept: Do you have your logo as a picture that you animate with masks or do you really make your logo in after effect?
Good! use adobe illustrator for better results.
thanks heaps!
Awesome intro! How to do this animation?
Pay attention that a +r combo looks like O bcuz of that huge curve for someone first time see that he will struggle to know
Sick !!! I was always wondering how you do the step between the scan and photoshop , that's help me a lot.
Good work man, keep going :)
Do you use a particular scan for this ? Because I've been trying with mine and this is kind of messy , there is too much pixel. :/
What's the song in intro?? It's awesome!!
in your opinion which is better, photoshop or illustrator
Merzie depends on what u wanna do.. logo kind of work - illustrator.. other kind like editing n all - Photoshop
How did you make the intro???
bro, get a PC
btw u r now my favourite graphics guy, to go to for tutorials
cheers
