  • Are you ready to get started with Adobe Fresco? This video was made for those you that aren't too familiar with Adobe Fresco, but even if you are, I'll be talking about my workflow and giving some tips that I use-so I guess it's for everyone! Follow along with me as I go through the different tools, brush settings, layer options, motion tools and more.
    There are a few reasons why Fresco is my preferred drawing app over other apps, like Procreate. { Here's a video that goes deep into that comparison: • Adobe Fresco vs Procre... }
    Fresco is part of the Adobe Creative suite and works seamlessly with the other apps, like Photoshop and Illustrator. As a professional illustrator I'm almost always dealing with photoshop and illustrator documents as they're the industry standard.
    Let me know if you learned anything new, and don't hesitate to ask questions in the comments. I try to respond as quickly as I can! I post new videos every Tuesday-so don't forget to subscribe!

    Another awesome Fresco video - thanks, Chris. By the way, you mentioned the ‘Learn’ content on the home screen. It actually contains excellent walk-throughs and videos to teach users how to use Fresco. So, yet another cool feature that distinguishes it from the competition.

    First off, I'd like to say thank you. I've been following along and have been loving it.
    Over he years, I've been through quite a few tablet gadgets including Wacom, Bamboos, Intuous - always wanted a Cintique but could never justify the cost. Go an iPad mini, pencil, fresco (Adobe CS), and now brushes
    I too think this is a game changer!

    Chris, THANK YOU so much for your videos. You are opening up worlds of possibility for me as a beginner with this app. I don’t know the best way to ask a question, but here goes… Is there a way to easily close a shape, either with the pixel or vector brush (or some other tool)? Or do you have to keep drawing and then clean it up? (The Touch Shortcut and Vector Trimming tips you gave are super helpful.)

    • @chris-piascik
      @chris-piascik  5 месяцев назад

      So glad this was helpful. I can’t think of any easy way to close a shape without fully drawing it though. You maybe be able to snap to shape when you’re close to closing it.

    Just stumbled upon your channel - some absolutely amazing content on there!! This video included! I definitely prefer adobe fresco to procreate even after just a week of trying fresco. There is just something limiting about procreate's too-simplified interface that I never really jelled with. With Adobe fresco, I feel like I have more control and I love how it works with the rest of the adobe suite! Thanks for this introduction video. It's great getting a quick overview and this video is top quality, so a joy to watch! Can't wait to see your content and channel grow in the future :)

    • @chris-piascik
      @chris-piascik  10 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks! The reason you can mix vector and raster is because the layers need to be either vector or raster, if you used a vector brush on a layer that wasn’t vector it wouldn’t be vector. Hopefully that makes sense!

    • @chris-piascik
      @chris-piascik  3 месяца назад

      Thanks so much! I’m still rocking a 2021 iPad Pro with the M1 with no issues. I’ll upgrade to the new one, but only because I’m an Apple nerd. But even that didn’t make me want to upgrade to the last version. The iPad’s especially the Pros have been overpowered for a long time now. Also Fresco was built from the ground up for the iPad so it’s extremely well optimized for it. It runs fine even on my old iPad mini. I’d say any iPad with a M1 (and up) chip is going to be very solid and last many years without feeling underpowered. My wife is also an illustrator and has the M1 iPad Air and that works great too.

    Hello Chris, great video... I enjoyed watching this, I do have one rather big issue... ive been drawing an image... i use the bucket tool in areas of the image as youve demonstrated but... it continuous chooses to paint the full page with said color... I also tried using (paint within the lines) tool and that was completely ignored ... so i am very much on the verge of deleting the app and going back to illustrator but i dont suppose you know how or what option I can choose to amend this?

    • @chris-piascik
      @chris-piascik  4 месяца назад

      It sounds like you might need to lower the fill margin (the slider that pops up when you use the paint bucket), if that doesn’t work you may have inadvertently set a layer as a reference layer.

    As someone who isn’t yet familiar with you and just wandered in, If the video paused at 12:06 and you gave me 1,000 guesses, I would not have guessed you would type ButtFart. I would have given it a 97% chance that I’d see the word become “butter” or something other than a literal butt (or butt root variant).
    But in fairness, that percentage expectation would go way down if I was rating myself or someone in my family.

    Hey Chris, thank you for being the beacon of light that you are. You are a beacon of light.
    I'm brand new to Fresco and wondered if it's only photoshop brushes that are compatible or can you import illustrator brushes also? On stores like Retro Supply Co the PS brushes seem to be raster only and so for vector brushes I assume you would need to buy the Illustrator brushes to use in Fresco?
    Cheers!

    • @chris-piascik

      Thanks so much! Unfortunately you can’t import illustrator or other vector brushes into Fresco. The only thing you can do it load presets, but those are limited in what can be achieved. I’m hoping someday we’ll be able to import illustrator brushes.

    I've watched this multiple times (THANK YOU!) and am about to create a logo for a company and have maybe a basic question: Why would you want to have rastor AND vector art in the same file? Why not just go vector the whole time? Thanks for any insights!

    • @chris-piascik
      @chris-piascik  3 месяца назад

      The Vector file is good because it can be infinitely scaled without loosing its quality. You could start with the rastor file for sketching then use Fresco Vector Brushes for the final work. Let me know if you have any other questions!

    Hey Chris! I recently started using AF and love it. Unfortunately I'm having an issue with Vector Trimming. For some reason, the previous vector paths that I've made are no longer trim-able. Now when I try to trim it, it removed all the paths that are touching each other (95% of my artwork). What really trumps me is that vector trimming works just as its supposed to with new paths that I lay down. This issue has really interrupted the workflow I was enjoying with Fresco. Would you happen to know anything that I'm experiencing? Theres nothing I can find searching online.

    • @chris-piascik
      @chris-piascik  8 месяцев назад +1

      This can happen if you’ve filled in a part of it with the paint bucket… it does something to the path / shape to make the trimming no longer work. Could that be a possibility?

      Hi! Non-pro model iPads have been able to use the Apple Pencil for a while now. And iPads have been very powerful for a while now too, so in my opinion the best budget option would be to find an older iPad used or refurbished with the first generation pencil. The original pencils worked just as well as the new ones they just charge a bit more clumsily. You can find what iPads work with the Apple Pencil here: support.apple.com/en-us/HT211029#:~:text=You%20can%20use%20Apple%20Pencil%20(1st%20generation)%20with%20these%20iPad,iPad%20(10th%20generation)* I have a mini in addition to my pro and I like drawing on it. It feels like a sketchbook.
