I love watching your tutorials and find them very interesting.🏆

[@ForeverDansky]

Thank you 😊

[@stefanysherman826]

I was searching for something completely different this morning, when I came across this tutorial. I just happened to be working on a rope in one of my designs, but your method is SO MUCH BETTER. Brilliant! Thank you.

[@keyos27]

I love how you take people who still use an older version into account by explaining the alternative (Not everyone can afford to pay to Adobe monthly).

[@CuriousFox_]

I love the way you explain. You're clear, peaceful and awesome! Thank you so much ^^

[@kanora582]

I have learned so much from you Dansky! I studied graphic design with a uni, and I didn't learn as much as I hoped... Watching your channel has allowed me to get better in my designs and understand how it all works by a few clicks. Thank you!

[@Black.Sabbath]

It's almost like you should have used UA-cam in the first place.

[@ThangVienDuc]

I feel so good from the second half of the video where all the hard word preparation before paid of for the beauty of end results.
Thanks for a great tutorial

[@Unlmtdprogress]

For those who are using this tutorial and getting jagged lines, etc.. That means you did not align the shapes when creating the symbol! Go back and align everything properly... and do it again! Yes, you still might get jagged lines on some of the stuff, even though you did everything right... simply fix that by changing the stroke from center to inside, or outside. Hope this helps

[@riahasays]

[@georgedjmatrix4229]

Thank You so much Dansky, this is a great most fun and instructive tutorial, i really learned allot from it. for the future if you are inspired to share your Process on how to Clean up Artwork, as i am having a bit of trouble with Pathfinder tools. in solid mode things look good, but in Outline Mode it's a Total Mess. i have a bit of understanding of how they work, i may be missing some pointers on how to get a better Result or even better on how to avoid them from the get go. Once again thank You so much. Great Job

[@amanmaurya6660]

[@fernandotuno]

Great tutorial!!!

[@rossmcvinnie6903]

Great tutorial - very useful technique and very clear explanation. I have a question - when you expand your shapes and turn lines into shapes, is there a reason why you use "Expand…" and not "Outline Stroke"? Is there a difference?

[@dylancurcio5388]

I love these tutorials

It was perfect. Thanks buddy! :D

[@ForeverDansky]

Glad it helped!

[@Trazynn]

Would it be possible to have this rope in perspective? like taper off into the distance.

[@user-ob6xc6yy4q]

please help me!)) I did everything as you said, but as a result, the pattern with the brush does not work out homogeneous. that is, you can see the overlapping of the figures one on top of the other and the steps are obtained, not the smooth lines .... maybe the point is to adjust the brush itself? or did I initially do something wrong?

[@WildKatatHeart65]

Really cool. Yeah, I don't have that nifty corner tool in cs6. I suppose it could be done manually?

[@MightyFlyChuck]

no worries guys i started over i got it! i got it. i wish you guys could fill the joy i feel.

[@khmm7757]

THANK YOU!!!

[@jaumedurgell]

Thank you very, very, much, Sir!

[@ForeverDansky]

You’re welcome!

[@MightyFlyChuck]

This video is amazing and very simple but for some reason right after the expand step at the 5:40 mark it goes alllll wrong for me. I do the unite step and the first two shapes become one solid color. Then i do the minus step with the red rectangles and the first to shapes are still there in complete form filled in black. PLEASE SOME ONE HELP!!!!!

[@arioso1525]

I stumbled upon your vid and it really helped me with my artistic embroidery in Illustrator. Cheers !!
Btw, I didn't think first to create a brush and then apply to a figure, I meticulously tried to draw a path BY HAND with the Pen tool and anchor points and, yeahhh, it was terrible 😏🙄 so turned to your advice. Thanks a lot))

[@ForeverDansky]

You’re welcome Arioso 😊 Some things do need to be done manually for sure, but if there’s a tool that’s better suited to it, oftentimes it’s quicker and more effective to use that instead 👍

[@dasarimahendar1946]

wow excellent tutorial,,,good explain.even kid can also understand very well.

[@ForeverDansky]

Awesome, thanks Dasari :)

[@gatewaywebdesign5953]

Problem at 7:13 when you select pattern brush - those first two squares on the left are empty with a red line through them for me. If I try to ignore that and hit 'OK' anyway, I get an error message saying 'you must choose a side pattern' EDIT - never mind, I just clicked on the brush icon on the brushes panel several more times + clicked around on the path and artboard, and eventually they just showed up....?

[@vicf7524]

Thank you so so muchhhh!!! :)

[@ForeverDansky]

You're welcome Vic :)

[@joebine6644]

Fkn excellent video👌

[@infographie]

Excellent

[@semraozkan4297]

ohhh you saved my life, thank you...:)

[@DaisyPaths]

very helpful.

[@leepalmiter8975]

- Illustrator is my main design app.
Thank you so much!
BTW, do you do anything with the Astute Graphics suite?

[@tossthegoats4280]

I'm having an odd issue where when I try to unite the rope, it colors in the segment entirely black. Do you know how I can get past this?
