Please never stop doing these! Even if it's not instructional, I'd sit and watch your workflow over lofi!

Planning on doing some longer form videos simply showing a full workflow, no voiceover, just tunes 👍🏽

Man, you're a great teacher. Straightforward and no delaying. Love the art as always.

[@codyabanks]

I appreciate that! I've learned a lot through tutorials and one thing that always bugged me is when they dont just get to the point haha

[@HoldOntoYourButts]

@@codyabanks lol that is a fact for me too.

Always been a Photoshop guy, so it's always a great help learning stuff about Illustrator especially since I'm self-taught! Much love from the Philippines. Always looking forward to your uploads.

[@codyabanks]

Respect! I learned photoshop first as well and slowly gravitated to illustrator

[@emrehozturk]

[@marxszn7601]

I love your videos, i fell in love with your style the first day i found you on IG

[@13klecan]

wow wish the eyelid and tongue section was a bit slower….interesting how you combine the basic shapes with pathfinder plus the pencil tool. yes, love the pathfinder. Often use the merge tool, but seems like there are always problems….too many points (so have to “simplify), or one detail that won’t delete, no matter what. Pathfinder is So powerful with the basic shapes, I seem to always go back.

[@user-dl5re7bs4t]

Yep, I agree, a bit slower would help. But would love to get that fast at some point.

[@heyitstihsi]

nice, thank you

[@shagabear2077]

Love your art! I’m a design major in Maryland! Would love to see how you animate your characters to rock and bob. Or any tips on animation? Would really help thank you!

[@codyabanks]

Check out the “animating a character” video on my page

[@victorlegal1698]

How do you manage to always have a round corner type on all your shapes ? Thanks 😃

[@13klecan]

wondered about that too….why not just use rounded corners to begin with…will check out.

[@user-qr2dw7pw2b]

how to delete the line with your pen tool?

[@4timeproducer328]

Hi, can we see your settings in Illustrator ? (Pencil Tools, Basic Settings etc..)

[@codyabanks]

You can check out my pencil tool video for those settings 👍🏽

[@victorlegal1698]

How do you make rounding path endpoints automatic?

[@codyabanks]

The circles in my color palette have rounded corners so when I use the eye dropper to select a color it automatically has the round corners

[@biancaemanuellec]

MUITO BOM!!!!!!!!!🟢🟡

[@codyabanks]

Thank you!

[@MrMostaa]

أحلى شعور عندما تطلب من الناس أن يستغفروا و كل شوي يجيك جام يعني انهم استغفروا ❤

[@munashemarutsi]

What inspires your creativity?

[@codyabanks]

You can find inspiration in so many places. Recently I’ve been using inanimate objects out in the world that look like faces to create designs. You can also follow artists you love and apply certain techniques to your own work.

[@munashemarutsi]

You are the artist in Question in this regard 😅. Will follow you and keep practicing. Thanks man

[@riccemorales9647]

I wish my mouse is that smooth. Mine can't seem to get along with me well. 😭😭

[@codyabanks]

Get a leather desk mat if you don’t already have one. Helps a lot with slowing down the mouse

[@marouanklaloussi3849]

استغفر الله العلي العظيم و لا حول و لا قوة إلا بالله، لا إله إلا أنت سبحانك إني كنت من الظالمين
