    Great Video! Just what I needed! Photoshop experience did make it a bit easier to digest. Getting into laser cutting/engraving so learning Illustrator, lightburn and the actual hands on burn process/settings- always a bit intimidating being loaded with a new tool set to learn but I was in Game Design for 15 Years, did a little bit of everything. You NEVER stop learning new tools/skills in Game Dev! One of the big things I learned is that the intimidation of learning a new technical tool set like this is what keeps most People from every pursuing their dreams. The irony of that intimidation is that you only have to learn it the first time once- brushing up on forgotten skills after that is usually pretty quick/painless.

    Thanks for this! I was able to recreate the pencil without issue but I'm a stuck on the Pie Graph. Any hints on that one? First I drew a circle then a rectangle to get the line in the middle then I tried using the polygon tool to create the triangle slices but I can't figure out how to make one triangle filled, one just a stroke and one with the open curved edge.

    • @guydavis9537
      @guydavis9537 4 місяці тому

      In the expanded toolbar there is a pie chart tool, fill in the grid with the percentages you want, for this sketch 10,20,20,50. Afterwards you can ungroup and select each segment to colour them.

    Sidebar: Can we just have a moment for your audio quality. As a voiceover artist, may I say your microphone is very good. If I had to mark anything down it's the plosives (P sounds)... but well done. Makes it much easier to learn if the sound is good in my headphones. Now I've missed the opening of the video typing this so now I have to go back.
