    Excellent tutorial 👍
    Too many supposed 'tutorials' on RUclips that are just speed art with no narration or explanation of techniques whatsoever, but you are a great teacher! Thank you.

    You explained this so well and made it very easy to understand. Great tip on changing the color as well to vary how much gets taken out of the artwork. Thank you for sharing this with us.

    found this today for a client wanting "more patina" on a logo, which i could do easily in photoshop but need the extra skills in illustrator, so thanks! That being said, occasionally i have to look up tutorials on how to do something with a lot of experience -- and in comparison to other tutorials, i like your voice, character, extra tips, quick but easy to understand method of explaining while fun and upbeat. thanks for your help and keep doing what you're doing!

    As someone who works in print, please don't send in art for print that has a bazillion vectors. A commercial printer needs to process your art for 4 color lithography and that process gets clogged up if it needs to trap and calculate the math on a bazillion vectors. A lot of Illustrator plug-ins fill the art board with vector art as well. Check the wire frame of your art before sending it to print. If the wire frame looks like it takes awhile to render the wires out then consider flattening a high resolution photoshop pdf for your printer at print size.

  • @laurenwolf7504
    @laurenwolf7504 4 года назад

    I am coming as a veteran Photoshopper, trying to shift into the vector world of Illustrator. To add a texture in Photoshop, you would take a transparent texture layer, put it in a mask over your artwork, and then either reduce your texture layer's opacity or apply layer styles like Multiply. That ADDS that texture's color overtop of your artwork, without removing anything from your artwork itself. Are all textures in Illustrator subtractive?

    why do you group the brush strokes vs. combining or making a compound path out of them. Doesn't doing that (combining) reduce anchor points thus creates a more efficient file.
