Just started a course for UI/UX design and the pen tool has been my worst enemy 🤦🏽♀️ But this was AMAZING, I learned so much in so little time and I felt like I got some real clarity! Thanks for this awesome video, will be watching you now as i continue on in my new journey In design!!
Hey Tim, i just wanna say i appreciate your contents alot. you're one of the best tutors here on RUclips cause there ain't much of them out here. i got better with auto layout after seeing your videos and i'm glad i came across it. keep up the good work, cheers!!!
thank you so much for this extremely uplifting comment Scott, this is what makes me excited to just continue creating and providing as much quality as I possibly can 🤩🙏
Man, THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I searched everywhere for videos with some tools that I needed on the YT of my language (PT-BR) and I just couldn't find it, you saved me so much, thanks bro!!!! +1 more sub
wow, just what i needed. I am learning to create illustrations using only figma and pen tool is what irritating me. Thanks for the introduction. Wish to see more on specially pen tool.
thanks for commenting and supporting as always, Ikenna 🙏 seems like a lot of people are awaiting that one, so I’ll do my very best to get to it asap ☺️
This video helped for a UX course assignment where I had to recreate the apple logo. But for the life of my I can't recreate the Airbnb logo. Is there a different tool or method you need for that? I can't get it perfect. Also the line loops over itself which makes things tricky. Any advice?
Figma does have its limitations when it comes to logo creation for sure. while you could for sure recreate Airbnb’s logo, it’ll be a bit harder than in a tool like Adobe illustrator 😩 sorry for not being super helpful here!
Hi tim Thanks for your explanation I wonder if there is a mirror effect not like the angle mirror you mention in the video but for example if I want to create a trapeze from a cube I select the bottom right corner to move it and the bottom left corner move at the same time and in the same way
Hey Tim. My question would probably be the simplest of the lot but how are you creating the straight line in the first place? I am unable to change the starting point and keep getting stuck there. Like I will start and draw a line and the cursor for the tool is still at the beginning point rather than the point I drew it till. How should I change the focus of the point?
Amin, my friend 🙏 I hear you, and everyone else who's been asking about the second part!! it's on the list of videos to make, but since it's a video that takes a lot longer to produce it's ended up lower on the priority list for now... but once again, I hear you and will do my very very best to put it out as quickly as possible for you all 😃
hey, How can you start a curve on your first click and hold?? I keep trying but it never lets me create a curve on the first click, I'm trying to make a heart and I do not get the double lines that need to be there to do it
Yes, you may add a node to a shape by double clicking on it. When the pen tool is activated, use it to click on the shape to add a node to the required spot.
I'd love to learn about lineheight in typography how to make pixel perfect using the red square method. just what to do to get the lineheight in line with the capital letter :) I hope you know what I mean. also please top 10 nice dribbble fonts 😁💪
I've actually never heard about the red square method before, could you explain some more Christopher? 😃 a fonts video is a great suggestion, I'll add that to my list of ideas. thanks, my friend 🤩
Its not exactly mastering if you dont talk about add points in a shape without creating new lines. Probably the most inconvenient result working with shapes and points.
Here's the Figma file if you want to follow along 🥳:

Hi Tim I liked your video ❤ . could you please make one full video on mobile app design with fully responsive.

Hi tim

hey my friend!!
unfortunately, as far as I know, Figma doesn't really have this as a native feature 😔
thx from spain, u help me
Hey bro if you ever create a course, I'd buy it! You're good keep up the great work!
that’s so so awesome to hear 🤩 thank you so much for the kind comment and for letting me know, my friend! 🙏☺️
Thanks for this video ! As a beginner, it's very useful :)
makes me very happy to hear that you found it valuable, my friend 😃 thanks a lot for the comment!! 🙏

not sure I understand the question, Saud! 😩

hey, How can you start a curve on your first click and hold?? I keep trying but it never lets me create a curve on the first click, I'm trying to make a heart and I do not get the double lines that need to be there to do it
hold down shift to get the curve option!
Thank you!
Really helpful, thanks a lot man! :D
Is it possible to add a node?
not sure what you mean exactly, could you elaborate? 😃
Yes, you may add a node to a shape by double clicking on it. When the pen tool is activated, use it to click on the shape to add a node to the required spot.
Thanks a bunch! :)
didn’t see this comment until now… thank YOU, pearlite ☺️🙏
great tutorial!
thanks for the nice comment, Bunny! 🥳
Thanks
thank you!!
Thank uuuuuuuuuu sooo much
happy I can help, Ruqaiah! 😃
To my problem now, even if I hold the shift... It still draws complex shape. Kindly help
could you describe problem more/upload a pic, my friend?
@@TimGabe hello sir... Thanks, it's solved now. Thanks for the video
Good content bro! Keep going 😊
thanks a lot, my friend 😃 comments like this one really makes me want to continue pushing 🥳

Keep going bro 👍
will do Martsin, thanks for engaging with the content 🤩
hey. My first line with the pentool is straight but allways and only my second line is allways bending. why is that?
what if you click once and then, without releasing the click, start to move your cursor? does it work?
@@TimGabe worked :D
TAKE MY LIKE!
I gladly take it, George!!
just made some sick design cause of you
haha, that’s amazing to hear my friend 🤩
@@TimGabe done a sick logo as well now
However, I have a question
How do I move my designs from figma to wordpress or visual studio code?
How would I go about finding the html with the SVG element from the figma design?
Noob here, so I don't even see the pen icon in the top. I only see the left most icon - the Figma logo?
Waiting ✌️
excited to hear it, Ridwan!! 🤩🙏
But why the f can't you cut paths!?!
you can cut a path by:
- adding three separate points at the specific place you want to cut
- remove the middle point
hope that helps ☺️👌

You are so gorgeous.

Thanks boy
