Hi Dear Jason. Thank you for your sharings. I am new in tablet art and wondering where can I find pen/brush set which you used in your works.
www.jasonsecrest.com has the resource folder which contains the cartoon brushes, anchor point guides, and color swathces
1. Check Spam/Promotions folder
2. Double Check email (correct)
3. Double Check it is not giving you an error or incorrect email prompt
4. Make sure you haven't already subscribed (won't send duplicate email)
Hi Jason... quick query, boss has just changed my Mac to a PC and now when using pen tool (Illustrator & Wacom), if I want to change direction so press shift C, when I click P it's loosing the connection every time. Is there a way of getting round this?
Alt or Option Key will change direction if you are looking to change direction for a sharp corner as you are going. If you are doing a 2-Step Approach then you can drop down your anchors first, then come back around and do the Shift + C which is your anchor point tool.
Amazing series/channel/tutorials! Could you make a video showing how you create the initial anchor points? I'm a bit confused on them. Are they intended to be like a sketch before inking? Sorry I'm new to illustrator. Thank you.
Are you going to be using a mouse or a tablet? I can definitely do a video that starts with the initial sketch to show where I place the anchors and get down the initial line work. If you are using a tablet it is as easy as tracing your work with the pencil tool.
Hello Jason, thank you for the response. Yes, I'll be using a Wacom tablet. That would be awesome to see how you do your initial sketch or tracing and how you are creating the anchor point guides. Do you sketch your ideas in illustrator or scan your work (from paper)? Thank you so much. Your channel is amazing :)
I am still a fan of paper. So my process is to get down the initial sketch - scan- and then do the initial line work or shapes. Most of the time I will be using the pen tool to have more control over where I place the anchors so I can edit easier. I am planning out the tutorial now- if life is good I might be able to get it out today.
Awesome! :) I'm so looking forward to it. I feel lucky to have found your channel. Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing these resources. I will be on the look out for the new video.
I downloaded the brushes and resources file, but the duck APG tablet file is nowhere to be found, help would be much appreciated ;-)

@@JasonSecrest thank you!
I just bought my huion tablet. Im still new to digital drawing. Which tool should I use to draw? Pencil or brush tool? Im quite confused.
I am going to recommend the pencil tool to start. It is still my first tool I use for a tablet and would be the easiest to learn with a new tablet (and if you are new to Adobe Illustrator)
@@JasonSecrest thanks for the reply! If Im using pencil tool i won’t be able to draw using pressure right?
Correct. Use Paint Brush for Pressure and Pencil for more control/options. I like the functionality way better for the Pencil Tool. I also recommend adding keyboard shortcuts for the Pencil Tool (Suite) Join Tool, Smooth, and Path Eraser.
@@JasonSecrest I see. Thanks. So how do I pressure to the line that I drawn ? Manually changing the stroke shape or re-draw using paint brush tool? And btw, which video of yours would you recommend for me to watch as Im just getting started with drawing tab.
That's brave doing all that line work without saving until the end....
Hey Jason, I'm not receiving the email to get the latest resources. I've signed up 2 times. Is there another way to download the newest resources? Thxs
check your promotions or spam folder- the email/link it is usually stuck in there (as long as the email was correct)
Thxs, yeah i already checked, it's not there, and I tried another email, and still nothing. so i think it's the email server you are using.
Might be worth looking in to. Everything is good on my end. A viewer had this as a solution that might be similar.

Just worked it out! If you have Ad Blocker / Disconnect or similar add-on then whitelist the site/turn the blocker off! Sorry to have wasted your time! D'oh..
Thxs Jason. I'll give that a try. It's worth the try, because I do enjoy ur videos and I do want to prefect my pen & shading skills in Ai. The way u teach it is simple and easy. So thxs for the reply.
Jical, I did contact my email server to see if there is any troubleshooting or why this is happening. There were 3 cases this week of people saying they didn't get the email. I am seeing if I can give you more solutions and help this from happening again. Thanks for your patience. Jason
I also am having trouble getting the email. I have entered 4 addresses and still there’s nothing.
1. Double check your spam or promotions folder. It likes to hit there.
2. Make sure you aren't getting error messages or not recognized email alerts
**If you are already a subscriber it won't resend a duplicate of the initial email.
Hi. I’m looking for a Wacom Tablet using for Illustrator only. What Tablet you were using exactly. Wacom Intuos …
For this recording, I was using a Wacom Intuos 3 (not recommended or available). If you are going to purchase a tablet for Adobe Illustrator, purchase an extremely inexpensive NON-DISPLAY TABLET that DOES NOT have Express Keys. I will recommend the One by Wacom ($49 - $99). You will 100% be using Keyboard Shortcuts for Adobe Illustrator.
*Please note that I recommend the Pencil Tool for Adobe Illustrator, which does not use Pressure. You just need the ability to trace your own drawings, and then bounce back to using other tools using your mouse. 99% of the program does not require a Tablet.
This makes sense what you are saying. Thank you. Although I also think now that a tablet for Illustrator only is not necessary it might be faster than using a mouse?
Which wacom tablet is this?
Intous 3

Did you know how to rotate the canvas like in photoshop?
The Rotate View Tool is under the Hand Tool (Sub Menu)
@@JasonSecrest thank youu 👐👐
I don’t know how to do the first step
Select the Pencil Tool and trace your own drawing. Double click on the Tool Icon to get the Pencil Tool Options.
@@JasonSecrest Ok, thank you
