Great video. Been using Illustrator to "vectorize" for years and your tutorial is just what I needed to clear out the cobwebs of bad habits. Chuckled at 23 minutes in at "a bit soft around the edges".
I think this is one of the best videos I've seen on how to use an Adobe product. RUclips is full of videos that show people how to learn some techniques by just following steps, with no explanations as to why or how they fit into one's design goals. This one goes much further, explaining why, for example, so many anchor points can be a treacherous tactic, or why some quick fix can end up infuriating a client and staining one's professional reputation. It's true, the video can be long for some people who just want to learn something quick and easy, but for those who want to go further, and make experience a tangible and enduring skill, this video shows a lot of promise for what else these creators can teach. Clear and precise, fluent and unassuming, it wouldn't surprise me if they end up creating their own teaching company. Thank you for making quality content!
Thank you this saved me 50.00 from Fiverr lol. I was able to turn my logo into a vector within 5 minutes. Fiveer said they need to redraw it by hand because its a lot of colors. I reached out to 5 designers they all said the same thing. I clicked on the High rez option like you said and i barely lost color LOL! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
A video on using the pen tool would be great, thank you. I know quite a number of people who hate using it, and people who say “It just takes practice “. It does seem to require a very steady hand and a small twitch of the hand can have the curve of the path flying off wildly.
No problem Stephen we'll work on a new video on this which will hopefully up soon 😊 It's definitely a very divisive feature it seems. I think it's one of those that once you have the hang of it it really opens up what you can create in Illustrator but getting to that point can be tedious! Hopefully our video will help 👍
@@GraphicDesignerPRO One thing that I do find helpful is going into the preferences and increasing the size of the handles. Sometimes it can be difficult to grab them at the default size.
Hello Sir, I am hoping you can point me to the right direction. I am new to Illustrator and having some issues. I have purchased t-shirt bundles online from design bundles. some come in AI SVG PNG EPS files. I am trying to edit these t-mplates. most of these have only one layer and its the whole file. some have multi layers but its just certain items, for exaple in one immage to layers were single letters on a one word and that was all the layers. Do you have a link or a video which could help me please? Thank You
After using image trace, I almost always got to object > path > simplify and play with the settings to reduce the number of anchor points as much as possible without compromising the shape of the object. You can usually get a result that is more or less comparable to what you would get if you had traced the object by hand with the pen tool.
Yup. In the case of having the glowy text there, yank it into photoshop, adjust its levels, ratchet up its Brightness/Contrast, colorIze it, desaturate it, then re-import it back into illustratror. NOW trace it and simplify. Bam. Done.
A quick question, how would you vector a drawing or font with different line thicknesses, the pen tool made it pretty uniform, and not all of the lines may line up in conventional brush lines.
im a simple user of illustrator. trying to learn how to take say a landscape photo, convert it to a vecor and make it right for sandcarving. i can't find any tutorials on this... it is crazy.. if you can help that would be super.
There are many ways, but we'd recommend trying to create your own sketches, even if they're quite simple and rough. The idea is that we clean them up into something professional looking in Illustrator. You can also do what we've done in this video and simply find some images (try stock photo websites) that feature an element or some text you'd like to vectorise and go from there 👍
Im stuck on the beginning of creating a vector graphic. I just want to create the graphic for a someone that would like to buy it and use it on a t-shirt, or mug, or sweat shirt. But I will not create that, just will sell the graphic. What size should my vector graphic be?
Please help me. When I finish drawing with the pen tool, the image trace is never avaliable to be used, you know when it runs grey and you cannot click on it? Please help.
Why is this not working for me? It is my image, literally just a a word in black font. I have tried it with Jpeg for and PNG and neither of them work. It doesn't turn it vector points, it just stays one solid image.
most likely, paying for soft gives you rights to use anytNice tutorialng included with your purchase as well as whatever the distibution rights of any tNice tutorialrd
The link to the files for this project merely goes to the free logo course. Now they have my email address and I don't have the files. Was this intentional? The logo course wasn't really a course, but just some challenges and links for discounts to Adobe products. What a waste.
Hi David, sorry for any confusion but the page you're taken to has a message at the top of the page informing you that the FREE template has been sent to your inbox. Underneath that we advertise our FREE 5-day logo challenge which is not a course and is not advertised as a course. Hope this helps.
@@GraphicDesignerPRO I think you should check your dev process of sending the correct emails. I checked every email and none of them had the link to downloads for that RUclips video. I was very careful. I did signed up for the downloads several times and searched all email boxes (junk, etc.), And the result was the same. The only emails were for the challenge and never once was there a free template link on any email. And yes, I saw the text at the top of the page, but never received an email with any link to any template. But thanks for taking the time anyway. Something is broken on your end.
@@fullpreteristnow thanks for providing that info. It was working fine at our end but these issues can arise sometimes unfortunately. We've tried recreating it so if you wouldn't mind trying the same link one more time and see if that works that would be great, and sorry again for the inconvenience.

Thank you Chris. I really appreciate it and that was exactly what I was trying to do. No fuss and helping people get on with what they need
willing to learn. Unless you already understand setups, then I gues sit's gonna be easier, but as a classically trained pianist I was blown
The pen tool and the curvature tool together make a powerful duo.
Absolutely! They both have their strengths 👌
thanks, Thanos, glad you're getting into soft instead of...well...
Great overview on image trace function. Thank you!

Yes the Simplify option can be very useful to refine image traces, great tip 👍

I want to put an image in that leaf. How to do that?
A quick question, how would you vector a drawing or font with different line thicknesses, the pen tool made it pretty uniform, and not all of the lines may line up in conventional brush lines.
Width Tool
So helpful.

Also are you using the Mac or PC version?
going well. For so reason tNice tutorials video struck as really concise and really cleared up so questions I had. The DAW I used back in
worked for . On default it was at Agressive TE for but I clicked to the right
Thanks for sharing.

thank you so much
i followed all these steps but when you are using sample that you have imported the program just bugs up.
Any file I try this with and export as an .svg file still won't open in Blender, so this doesn't help much.
Nice 👍
Where is the free download image template? The link sends me to an info form, but never downloaded any content after completing the form. Thank you.
Please help me. When I finish drawing with the pen tool, the image trace is never avaliable to be used, you know when it runs grey and you cannot click on it? Please help.
For me instead of image trace I just have recolor??? Where do I find image trace?
Does anyone know if there is a limit on the number of paths that can be rendered this way in a large image?
I already tried using pen tool my image is blurry still even in 4k settings for my canvas
project a lot because I've been working on other stuff (and being lazy lol). Also, I had been facing a recurring problem of content dropouts in
