    I thoroughly enjoy how simple you make everything to learn. If you're not an instructor/teacher/story teller, you may have missed your calling. I must agree with the thousands of others, your voice is relaxing, not an ounce of stress in it, and that only amplifies the ease of learning with you. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge to help us all learn some of the, what once appeared to be overwhelming, tools/tips/tricks/shortcuts/techniques of AI.

    Thanks so much for this! I got really frustrated using the clipping mask method. This is much easier. Also, you went slowly and clearly with your instruction, no need to replay over and over. Excellent tutorial!

    Can you please help me? I'm new to illustrator, but I've made an image to a friend, the image is composited of shapes that I don't remember how I exactly made it because I followed a tutorial, the clipping mask was used to unite shapes and now I want crop the base bottom of this image, I tried using shape builder to exclude the bottom, it only removes some part of the image the other which I believe is where the clipping mask was made remains, I have no idea what to do please help me someone

  • @LivingTech
    @LivingTech 6 лет назад

    Thanks for your video. Very easy and clear, very much appreciated. I just subscribed to you channel. However, I'm using CC 2019. The only options I have under the eraser are: 1) Eraser Tool (Shift-E); 2) Scissors Tool (C). Would you please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Did Adobe move the knife tool?

    • @hikeart
      @hikeart  6 лет назад

      In CC 2019 the toolbar got an update. Yours is probably set to "Basic". Try to click on the three dots at the bottom of the toolbar. The "All Tools" window should open. Now click on the little icon in the upper right corner and choose "Advanced" or try to use "Reset". Hope this helps!" Thanks for watching and subscribing!:)

    • @hikeart
      @hikeart  8 лет назад +1

      When you use expand on text it is turned into outlines. Once your type has been changed to outlines it cannot be edited with the type tool. Hope this helps
