Adobe ILLUSTRATOR on iPad - FULL REVIEW

[@BravetheWoods]

What are y'all's thoughts about Illustrator for the iPad? Curious what your experience was like going from desktop to app.

[@KareemLittle]

Just found your video! I used illustrator for iPad when it was just released but as you said it’s pretty watered down. Right now, I think affinity designer is the best vector graphics tool on iPad right now.

@@KareemLittle i love AD too, but the exporting files don’t work as smooth :(

[@KareemLittle]

@@ImogenValkyrie what do you mean? I have no problems with it

[@ImogenValkyrie]

@@KareemLittle i tried to export svg and pdf, then i opened those files in AI. The clipping masks and the effects don’t always work in AI. I’m so frustrated. I hope you can help

[@KareemLittle]

@@ImogenValkyrie ohhhh, I understand. AD files aren’t completely compatible. I’ve had the problem as well

Welcome back Brad! It’s been a while... we’ve been waiting for your new uploads 🙌🏼

[@BravetheWoods]

Haha thanks! I started a kids drawing channel that is every other day called Brave Kids Art Club and it has taken up most of my time ha. But I’m trying to get back to posting regularly on this channel for y’all!

[@orlandoangelocerezo4205]

@@BravetheWoods Really love your work, brother! Keep going! It’s amazing how you’re inspiring the future generation of artists/illustrators. I’m positive that a lot of youngsters see you as their inspiration to become the artist that they had always wanted to be in the near future!

@@orlandoangelocerezo4205 means the world my friend. Thank you!

Nice video ! But The subscription kill everything … affinity is the winner for me

[@Roms8313]

cool review, thanks!

[@thejanuaryfall]

Thank you for talking about the gestures ... 9 mins into the video! Hahaha. I was like, how is he Undoing by tapping the screen? New iPad user here, not new to Illustrator. Thank you for this amazing tutorial!

[@veronicaxu9016]

Just got the app yesterday and your video really helps a lot! Can't wait to try all the features. Thank you for this great review 🙏

[@BravetheWoods]

Of course! Glad it helped

[@sumaiyaaladawi5899]

It’s a helpful video. Thank you

[@tiffanyw3794]

hello is warp text to shape feature available on ipad

[@xochitlcabrera2570]

What pen are you using in the video?

[@BravetheWoods]

Apple Pencil

[@jbsunking]

@@BravetheWoods What is that grip sleeve you have on your Apple Pencil...?

[@Hupaju]

Nice review Brad. I haven’t had much time to play around with this program yet. Thanks for doing the heavy lifting. Also, is there an offset path function? I use that function a lot on the desktop version.

[@BravetheWoods]

Thank you! I haven’t found the offset path function myself, so I looked it up. Adobe said it isn’t included yet. I’d submit a feature request! Good luck!

[@Hupaju]

@@BravetheWoods I think it’s possible to use the work-around of adding a stroke and then expanding it, similar to the work-around in Affinity Designer.

[@BravetheWoods]

@@Hupaju got it. Thanks for that tip!

[@exchangediary968]

can you draw on the board with an import brush from the desktop version?

[@etheriousjester8891]

Hope you and the fam are doing well, been a while since your last upload.

[@shotbykei8603]

are you from cavite Philippines?

[@SquishySpud]

Is there a way to cut out shapes from an existing shape or filled object? Im working on a decal and used the pen too to outline and fill the image, but there are a few placed i'd like to make transparent to give it a little detail. It will be a single color vinyl decal.

[@DevonChristopherAdams]

Great video! Took an AI class this summer and really love being mobile. I’m going to use this as an intro video for those new to AI mobile. I need to play around with clipping masks. I ASSUME (& hope) a shape with no fill will still overlap with the clipping mask. I was surprised you didn’t go into the Blob Brush tool. Oh yeah and you can rotate now!

[@jarecki2129]

So AI or Affinity Designer?

[@BravetheWoods]

I thought that very same thing! Needless to say, that video comparing both is on its way :) stay tuned!

[@w0mblemania]

Might depend on your budget. AI is more than 10 times more expensive, and is a subscription.

[@w0mblemania]

Good review, thanks. With a CC account, this thing costs an incredible AUD $360 _per year_. Procreate is AUD $14.99, which is a one-off fee and includes free updates. Affinity Designer is AUD $31, again, for a one-off fee. i.e. less than one tenth the price of Illustrator. No thanks, Adobe.

[@ImogenValkyrie]

And you thought nobody knew about another softwares? LOL! If you don’t use AI, why were you here?

[@piotr803]

i don't even have an iPad why am I watching this
