Good vid. Just a tip around 2:37, you can save a lot of time and just use pathfinder. Just select that layer, click merge, then unite and it will give you the same thing without all the clicking.
Thank you for this tutorial. You just saved me a pounding headache trying to figure this out. I was able to take this and apply it to Affinity Designer so I can laser engrave. My brain thanks you, too!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! working on a my first logo and i spend all day looking for a tutorial on how to invert the colours and couldn't find it. Great work
If you click Trim in the pathfinder window and then Unite, it will remove the inner shapes for you. May not work in all cases but might make this quicker. An even quicker method: Make a compound path, Pathfinder Trim, then magic wand select and delete the colored shapes. Add a fill to the remaining transparnet shapes that were left behind. Would only take a few seconds to knock this out
Hey Alex, but.. can you make a video doing that? Lol. I'm trying to do this too but the artwork we have has "layers" of shapes inside, white, black white, and I'm having difficulties figuring out how to do this efficiently or effectively even. . .
Bro!!!! Always love your videos! I have a way quicker way to do this! I’ll try to make a video and show you. It takes like 2-3seconds. Keep these videos coming 🙌
I thought there was a quicker way. I go between Ai and Corel draw and in Corel you just grab everything and click invert design. Done is a snap. Would love to see something like that in Ai. If you know something like that @derrick baker I would love to check that out too!
@@ParsonsDesigns I’m going to post a video on how I do it. It’s not as simple as inverting the design tho. I’m not familiar with Corel draw so I may be wrong.
Quick question man! First off lemme just say savory vid as usual from you guys! 🤙🏽🤙🏽 never disappoint so thank you for that. Also, what pen do you use most when you are drawing out your designs? It’s gritty but also smooth, like just the right blend of peanut buttery goodness at a whole foods market. 😅🙌🏾 keep on keepin on brother! ⚒️⚒️
I've been switching between the two liner brushes from our Stipple Brush Pack. I really love the texture of these brushes and they have been my go to ever since we dropped them!
Man, you sure make it look so easy... I must be an idiot cause I can't figure out how to do this with my image...maybe cause it's more complex or something, not sure. I guess I need to try this with a more simple image a few times to figure it out. Great video nonetheless! Thanks!
new to all of this and following along the best i can..a couple things i can't figure out. after you copy and paste the image it makes the new image a new layer..mine doesn't do that. how do i paste the second image as a new layer? also, when you delete your anchors it makes the deleted area white. mine doesn't do that. any advice? thanks!
I'm not sure why it would be doing that. That shouldn't happen. Make sure you are following the steps correctly. There's no way for me to know what happened without seeing the step you missed.
Well every design is different so you will have to adjust based on what the art needs. If I have some shapes that are not closed in I typically will copy that specific shape and keep it off to the side and then do my invert. After the invert process I would bring that shape back in and match it up. I hope that helps. That is a very specific question that would have a lot of different answers depending on the artwork.

How u go about doing this if the design has open edges?
did you ever figure it out?
@@Ellie-h51-e5g u gotta close the open edges

This is the only video that acually explain it.
Appreciate that!

Shoot it over! We love learning new techniques!
@@GoldenPressStudio cool, I’ll do a screen capture and DM it on IG. Unless you know of a better way?

@@derrickbaker1831 awesome! You posting to your UA-cam channel? I’m using Ai more these days so I will be looking flawed to your video. Thanks!
Wow that was amazing!
Great job Cory!!! 👏👏👏
Thank you!! 😁
cool tutorial cory awesome stuff
Thanks!
It was helpful. Thanks 😊
You’re very welcome!
This is helpful, but how i can do it in back-again way - from white invert version to black line version?
thanks man
Awesome Video
Thanks!

Starting off with simpler images is a good idea. Inverting can be confusing but you can get it with some practice!
1:31 How did you invert the colour there the first time?
Thx!
You’re welcome!!
thank you
You're welcome
I think I'm missing something. what if my shapes are not enclosed like these are?
new to all of this and following along the best i can..a couple things i can't figure out. after you copy and paste the image it makes the new image a new layer..mine doesn't do that. how do i paste the second image as a new layer? also, when you delete your anchors it makes the deleted area white. mine doesn't do that. any advice? thanks!

What would be the process for the other way around?
I don't really have a process for the opposite of this. Sorry.
How did you suddenly invert the image to the dark background (1:32)
I just made a black square by hitting the hot key M on my keyboard.
1:30 .... How do you make the black flower turn white? Oo
That was just a cut in the video but I just used the eye dropper tool and clicked the white background
I f'n LUV you. Cheers!
back at ya!!
What do you do if the source image has some open spaces (e.g. the lines are not fully connected on all sides)?
Well every design is different so you will have to adjust based on what the art needs. If I have some shapes that are not closed in I typically will copy that specific shape and keep it off to the side and then do my invert. After the invert process I would bring that shape back in and match it up. I hope that helps. That is a very specific question that would have a lot of different answers depending on the artwork.
Does anyone know of a tutorial that explains this for procreate?
We actually cover this in this video: ua-cam.com/video/i20f53zyrJM/v-deo.html
@@GoldenPressStudio Thanks!
What to do if your logo is not a closed shape
Your tutorials are the best. #arrrfonyoulater
ARRFF!!
i canot follow it is to fast and you work with shortcuts that I dont know
Skill issue. This dude did this at a very reasonable pace and explained everything well.
@@hypelucasskill issue is the very reason we are watching tutorials, don’t be daft
Weird, in Corel it would literally be a single-button select on the menu. No manual editing required whatsoever.
👍👍👍
Slow drown pls
Why except indians all other UA-camr explain so much unnecessary things..just get on the point dude
