Thanks, much appreciated! Not trying to sound like an advertiser, but you then might like my 10 essential tips video too. It's a bit old, but the points are still good little workflow helpers.
As a professional illustrator, I’ve been working with Illustrator for almost thirty years and I still learnt some great tips from your videos. I could probably have saved myself about ten years of flaffing about if I’d seen them before. Love your work Michael. 👍🏻
super duper helpful! the accent drives home the fact that it’s PRECISE! seriously, this video in 11 min would’ve taken me at least 45 min to explain to a student. THANK YOU!!!
As beginner these 10 tips are not the tips, This is the guideline of the whole illustration process. You sort out all matters I struggle about the illustration process. Highly appreciate this, God bless! ♥♥♥
Thank you so much for this tutorial! THIS is the best tutorial that I have come across on UA-cam, I have watched others for hours and they've never been as straight forward as this one.
@@Juicefoozle You're more than welcome, I will use these technics to create my NFT collection. Please make some more tutorials, I will happily join your patreon!
this is awesome!! i've been using illustrator for like 8 years and i was shocked that i didnt know like half of this stuff 😂im subscribing i need all your wisdom
I used this again tonight and I wanted to thank you for being such a rock star tutorial maker. Michael, you are extremely talented and on top of that able to explain concepts in very simple ways. I appreciate it very much.
Always love revisiting this channel for refamiliarizing myself with illustrator after a hiatus. The coloring portion came in clutch for a class as I was never formally introduced to the program. Been searching for a video that showcases it for a couple of hours with no luck. This is the first video that actually shows how to color your outlines that I have come across
I’m learning illustrator from a udemy course and subscribing to your channel to supplement my learning because THIS IS AWESOME!! My jaw literally dropped when I saw the tip about separate windows. Whaaaat??? Thanks for your videos and keep up the amazing work! 🙏🙌
WOW. I'm SO glad your video showed up in my suggestions! I'm a long time Illustrator user and had no idea about some of these things. I love your art and I look forward to incorporating these techniques in my workflow!
Wow. I've been using Illustrator for years but had never looked into the line width tool - thank you so much for showing this. I love your level of explanation of your workflow. Your style has reignited my inner illustrator. Subscribed.
Ooooh! Number 9! Thank you! I was getting so frustrated with my lines changing shape when I tried to paint. This solved it aaand with color on another layer. Yay!
1:30 - I prefer to double-click on the Layer Thumbnail (the square preview icon to the left of a layer's name) to bring up the Layer Options dialog. That way, there is no guess-work about where the "center of the space" between the Layer Name and the Target Icon is or accidentally entering "Layer Name Edit" mode, because you missed the "hot spot" or the layer name is so long that it goes all the way to the target icon (or perhaps even gets cut off to an ellipsis before the target icon) leaving no empty room to double-click in the (non-existent) space between them. The Layer Thumbnail is always on the left, always present (unless you turn them off), always the same size, and always brings up Layer Options when double clicked. If you make your layers large using the Layer Panel Options, it's even easier to (not miss when you) double click on the Thumbnail on High DPI and/or small diagonal monitors.
you all prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Lian Dario I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Oh man, I just found your tuts and I have to say I'm really sad you're not doing tuts anymore. I've learned more in this one video than countless others I've seen online. You also have a very concise way of describing what you're doing and how to do it. Also, you've got a smooth voice!
Thank you very much. I am considering new ones once in a while, but since I'm not freelancing anymore I just have constant lack of time and energy. Anyways, still means a lot to me to read comments like yours.
Step 8, you can actually double-click on the line with the width tool and it will bring up a panel where you can set the width of that segment. The default for it is the width where you double-clicked on the line. (instead of eyeballing it)
Man, this video was sooo helpful! Half of the time we don't understand what to search for in Google if we want to do a particular thing in Illustrator. This video showed majority of such tricks and shortcuts! Thanks mate! 🙌🏼
Great follow up to your previous Illustrator tips video! There were some things in the last video that I wish were more detailed but you made sure to cover them in this one. Well done and thanks for sharing your workflow 👍
Thank you very much, it's always hard trying to recreate the success of that one video, so it’s awesome to read that you find it to be a great follow up. 🙏
Wow. This video was really helpful. Other videos like this often tell us something we already know or is useful to the point that you use it once in few months. Thank you so much!
This is great - Ive been a working creative for years but you do get stuck in your ways and its nice to see little tips and tricks to help improve your workflow! Subscribed 👍
The color error you described is because, by default in CMYK mode, the "black" swatch isn't true black. To adjust, open up the CMYK color panel and pull the sliders all the way to the right. That'll make it go away and you'll be using true black instead of a tinted RGB black. Also, to change the settings in the default swatch, double click the color swatch and adjust the sliders there. Loving the content!
Thanks a billion. I had those same bullshit white lines whenever I tried to color anything, and changing the mode into RGB helped. You are a lifesaver :)
Hey the CMYK antialiasing are pretty usefull when you design prints, this mean you need to add some bleeding to those shapes to make sure every color pass will fill correctly!! but I understand you, for sketching its annoying :P
I have been playing with Illustrator for some a months now, but I haven't been able to dig in illustrations. I was too afraid to try it. Because of your video, I just created my first one :) Good job!
Preeti Panwar All learnings we’re from UA-cam. Start small - Search ‘basic illustrator’, ‘illustrator tips and tricks’ and so on. Based on the questions you gather during this phase, go and search on UA-cam the question you want to find the answer. Do that every day and you’ll become more than a basic beginner.
Hi there just want to let you know that when you work in CMYK the little white border you see on everything is not a display error but more of an auto stroke that allows some room between different colored elements because other wise if they overlap during the printing process they will mix and create a possibly undesirable effect.
I’ve watched a ton of illustrator videos. This one is the best so far.

I have been complaining about not being able to use two windows and its been here the whole time. Smh. Great video!
😹 where did you look for it?
@@Juicefoozle Same as Photoshop: Window > Arrange.
Also: Do you have any knowledge of the white thin line that appears? I'm not sure if its anti-aliasing or what.
No word to say that more then thanks may God bless you guy.
OMG... I learned sooo much in around 10 mins... This is really helpful man!!! Thanks a lot!
TNice tutorials tutorial is so useful,I tried tons of other tutorials but tNice tutorials was the best one

You can double click the outline with outline width tool to set same width of the outlines.
Thanks, @BrownBair already mentioned it as well. I totally overlooked that, very good to know.
Oh, actually you have been first mentioning it, I just missed your comment. Sorry for that, and thanks a lot again for the hint, much appreciated.
