thank you! im a graphic design student and we have never mentioned the pencil tool because it would "be bad" or "look yanky" now i can practice with this! thank you so much
I recently discovered your channel and in a few videos you don't know everything I've learned thanks to you and see that I can continue to improve with the help of your templates I'm too excited, really thank you very much 💜
@@abiconnick if I were you, I would invest in a tablet because I learned how to digitally draw with the mouse, but let me tell you the carpal tunnel starts carpal tunneling
Hey 👋 So I am launching my new website today at 3pm, so my website is currently locked until then, but once it's 3pm have a look at the free resources section I have added a bunch of new ones, as well as the pencil tool practice sheet :) www.abiconnick.co.uk/
Unfortunately I think the link is not working! I loved all of your other resources as well, and I’m excited to use this resources once the link is fixed! ❤
I wish high-quality education like this was on Udemy and bullshit education like the Udemy bestsellers were on UA-cam. Actually, I am glad that there're endless open source learning materials on UA-cam! Who needs Udemy anymore, right! 😭
Why when u draw over the font. The shape will change directly instead of creat a new object? Sorry if I asked a stupid question cuz I have never use this function before
My teacher always said don’t touch types, draw all the pretty lines you want but you don’t touch type you don’t draw on it, or stretch it out or warp it in anyway. There’s so much math involved in typography that eyeballing it is like spitting on the hundreds of hours spent by the type designer to get it right. All the graphic designer should be doing is placing and adjusting the space between the letters not warping the whole thing
i genuinely hate that its called "adobe illustrator" when its a graphic design tool, and PHOTOSHOP is for illustration. it should be called "adobe designer"
what they dont fucking tell you in these illustrative videos is that theyre using a pad and stylus. thats the secret. they draw with a stylus. so if your pencil tool skills suck with a mouse or trackpad, its because its being used with. a stylus.

Well my graphic design teacher banned my class from using the pencil tool because “it needs to be precise”
So we use the pen tool instead
That Sounds a little dumb to me😅
You can just clean it up after.
Our teacher allows everything, but always checks how precise it is when grading
ok? why comment about it here then

In graphic design one and two we werent taught about the pencil tool at all
This tool looks really organic :o

Pencil tools in any vector art is useful

Ahh thank you! I'm so glad you did 😊
The pencil tool is great when you have a drawing tablet
I don't use a tablet, just my mouse :)
@@abiconnickI was wondering that - I assumed you just used a tablet because you do it so well, that’s just impressive!
@@littledrummergirl_19 Thank you! I've put in a lot of practice 🤣
@@abiconnickhow hard dp you grip the mouse? i found that i death grip the mouse when i use pencil tool. 😂 no idea why.
@@abiconnick if I were you, I would invest in a tablet because I learned how to digitally draw with the mouse, but let me tell you the carpal tunnel starts carpal tunneling

But, how can you using pencils to draw such nice curve line without crook? Did you hold any other key while drawing those lines?
How do you stabilize the pencil tool like that if I could ask? Like get it to snap to a smooth shape after the wobblier lines?
Why when u draw over the font. The shape will change directly instead of creat a new object? Sorry if I asked a stupid question cuz I have never use this function before
You start on the path and end on the path. Instead of creating a new shape, it alters the lettershape instead.
Thank you for taking the time to reply to this, really appreciate it :)
@@abiconnick: Anytime!

Your teacher knows nothing about brand design 🤦🏻♀️
@@jessedsgn That's a linear process. It have a purpose, and a lot of limitations.
Can this be done on canva?
No it can't, sorry!
When people talk about jobs being preplaced by ai, these are the jobs they're talking about

Thank you so much!

Why did you draw the homestuck mouth??
Where can i find the link ??
i genuinely hate that its called "adobe illustrator" when its a graphic design tool, and PHOTOSHOP is for illustration. it should be called "adobe designer"
Thank you!
Welcome!
Can you pls make the logo type of dashing vlogs plss ❤ I love Ur vids
Practice on GIMP. Adobe is too expensive for the learning graphic artist and Adobe claims rights over your work now because of A.I integration.
bro discovered drawing
*crying in Typography*
You mean as a designer I have to... draw???
me, with a hair pulling condition, feeling around for hairs to pull out.
“so if you’ve been pulling your hair out-“
😶
artists just watch it and like "designers do nothing..."
Free?
Do these artists get paid by Adobe to pump out these shitty Adobe promos?
Look on my channel, I stopped doing sponsorships over 2 years ago?
what they dont fucking tell you in these illustrative videos is that theyre using a pad and stylus. thats the secret. they draw with a stylus. so if your pencil tool skills suck with a mouse or trackpad, its because its being used with. a stylus.
Whe said she uses a mouse actually
I've never used a drawing tablet, I just use a mouse? You can see that in all my design videos
Fuck photoshop, after they released new TOS 👎
Oh what’s the new tos?
When will you post long form content???? I'm especially waiting for the brand identity process. 🫶🫶🫶🫶
In the new year, just focusing on filming and editing my course so it's ready to launch in January, be worth the wait, I promise!
