[@SanderSalamander]

Thanks for video guide. It's so cool to see this kind of stuff :D

[@ruthiewitter569]

i have just spent hours crying over trying to get this to work via my college's technique. found your video, and this is incredibly effective, elegant, clean techniques. Thank you, so much. I really needed this.

[@deepskin]

Now that yt doesn't show the number of dislikes, I came to say that this tutorial is legit. Super useful and straightforward

[@tt_tutorials]

Thank you 🙏

[@SUPSHAINE]

This is really game changer due to illustrator work with vectors, also when using SCATTER brushes, they tend to use vectors to draw lines. Which increases the processing of your computer. Adding masks and layers it is a really smart solution to this problem

[@LisaHalstead-hf8rm]

By far the best tutorial I've found regarding textures in Illustrator. Thank you!

[@kzk4771]

You are a lifesaver! using effects in illustrator has been a pain for years for me and I never knew why my vector illustrations never looked as good as those from other professionals. Now I can finally achieve exactly what I want with my shading, thank you!

[@Wombenangriff]

Learned something new! I am using Illustrator since Version 9.0 (before cs/cc) but felt like I had missed most of the cool innovations of the recent years. Very well explained and also nice to listen to you! Thanks :-)

[@chri_ssss]

Hi there, thanks for the video, my grain texture seems to be really high resolution and quite fine.. I tried playing with the settings, but I can't seem to get the sizes of the grain to increase.. do you have any idea how I can increase their size?

[@bamm86]

Great video. One problem. What size is your canvas because the size dictates the size of the granules in the grain effect.

[@Lakttos]

🔥🔥🔥🤟 GREAT"!!!

[@tt_tutorials]

Thank you so much! 😃

[@davidbkopp]

I LIKE YOUR VOICE.

[@ansleyse]

Thank you so much for this video; it helped me a lot! I just have one question. Do you know why, when I drag the gradient sliders (after adding grain), my grain pixels grow in size and look terrible?

[@RomboutVersluijs]

My laptop doesnt really like this using 300dpi in raster effects.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Doesmt RIP software go bonkers on these files. I guess you need to rasterize this for print or is RIP software okay with this in vector format?

[@alejadralopeztovar9131]

I love your tutors, but how can I export my illustration to instangram while maintaining the quality.

[@tt_tutorials]

Save for web and optimize image. It will still loose quality a bit. Harsh reality

[@Mmongiardo]

This is so much easier than I imagined, thank you for your contribution!

[@HiramofPhoenicia]

Amazing video! Is there any way to get these effects done on Affinity Designer too?

[@tt_tutorials]

Hi! I dunno

[@TheTrippleTKA]

I like the last method, please do another in detail tutorial on that, just that alone and explain what doing every step mean, because it gets a little confusing. Thank you sir!

[@tt_tutorials]

Thank you for feedback! Enjoy my videos on character design, I use and explain this method quite often 🔥🔥🔥

[@TheTrippleTKA]

@@tt_tutorials please let me know which video exactly so I can understand better what is the purpose of each step. I just want to understand the reasoning and not just blindly follow :) thank you

[@Akumakie]

Going through the comments and realising I'm the only one it didn't work for 💔

[@gutwounds]

Can you do this with spot colors? I want to use this method to shade my artwork for screen printing

[@tt_tutorials]

The only way is to try it out, my friend 😉

[@PlusPassie]

Thanks for this tutorial. I see that you make a new layer of each object. Is it also possible to use the Apperence panel and in that use another fill what use can do the same?

[@tt_tutorials]

Hi! Sorry, I didn’t get your question at all 😅 can you make it more clear?

[@PlusPassie]

@@tt_tutorials When you select an object and opens the appearance panel, you can add another fill in the same object. I was asking myself if I could use a second fill for the texture, instead of making a new layer and use it as a mask. Hope I made it clear?

[@tt_tutorials]

Well, I didn’t try it that way! It’s a good chance for you to take your time and experiment 🕵️‍♀️🧙‍♂️

[@bhagirathkumar67]

Amazing!! sir, thank you 👍👍

[@tt_tutorials]

You’re welcome 😀 thank you for watching ❤️

[@lmlm_]

Sorry Borat, can't listen to your terrible accent.

[@TheSocialDancers]

This may be a super basic question, but why are you adding a layer mask to each shape, rather than duplicate the shape and just change the gradient fill?

[@tt_tutorials]

Try both ways in your workflow and you’ll understand, my friend 😉❤️

[@TheSocialDancers]

@@tt_tutorials hahah will do :) about to start on a project this weekend so I’ll test it out

[@matthiaswaser2153]

Thanks for the video. If i follow all your guide and try to also adjust the gradient afterwards with the gradient tool, the gradient is going to be destroyed and looks like a very rough Bitmap. Nothing as yours. Any idea what could cause such a wrong effect?

[@tt_tutorials]

I guess you should check out what I show in the end of this video. There’s probably a matter of ppi, my friend.

[@lvvl5040]

I'm following your tutorials since you showed how you're applying textures and I'm so happy to have this video! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing with us. P.S. 3d way is astonishing! :D

[@tt_tutorials]

Whoa! This means a lot to me. Thank you so much :D

[@lvvl5040]

[@zindex5]

Once we apply the transparent, and we want to move the object, but the object doesn't move, the transparent layer moves, how do I move both things to another place?

[@shashwat_satya]

It's great tutorial but am stuck in opacity mask layer n i don't know how to get back to normal layer panel 😢

Thank you! I was looking for the first method, and this explained it well.

[@grivoyulaiarialengka1540]

im very like the second and third method, since it gave me freedom where to put those dots and line!, Thanks!

[@leemeyers5335]

@tt_tutrorials 2:28: when you click off the texture you're creating it looks less pixelated, and more rounded. Mind doesn't do that and stays pixelated, is there a fix for this?

[@AidarAmrekulov]

Can someone explain to me what is the benefit of creating an additional object and then also creating a mask? When you can add a new fill to the original object and then simply apply gradient directly from the darker colour to zero opacity and also the grain texture directly to the fill. This way you don't deal with two separate object and also don't deal with the masks and jumping back and forth between normal and mask mode in transparency window. I just don't get it, why everyone's doing it this way

[@hub9740]

Thanks!!!!

[@rockkat6444]

but the layers don't stay for separate? after of give the texture?

[@tt_tutorials]

Not sure I understand your question, but everything is separate always.

[@chage11]

not sure if i'ts gonna help but, check ur transparency layer, u're probably still in the mask :)

[@tt_tutorials]

yes that could happen

I dont think im able to do any of this on the latest Adobe - there's no mask options for example

[@noor9196]

You sir, are amazing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills:) I needed this video

[@Diggoe93]

When i use the mask and i change the gradient direction there is no realtime change - i need to click on invert so that i can see how the change looks - does anyone have the same problem? It´s very annoying to always update the look of the gradient and not seeing the change in real time...

[@tt_tutorials]
