[@cynthiamichelle033]

I have been so stressed out all day. Why didn’t I find this sooner?!?thank you so much. Perfect explanation. Keep doin what you are doing. You are an absolute life saver!!!!

[@MrKnoxville9]

Been scouring for a introduction video that simplifies the process. This is it. Big thank you😎

[@rmd9250]

Thank you ! I’ll need to watch this about a 1000 times😂

[@dedcirc]

Damn, thank you. What a chill yet informative tutorial.

[@PrioryCampion]

Hey, thanks you, I will now go back to my drawing open in iPad Illustrator now I know how to trace and fill my design so it look professional. Big thanks.

[@LifeintheMitten]

Great video! I didn’t have high expectations since it’s take adobe so long but I’m loving it. You are spot on saying it’s a game changer!

[@Ezioaudi59]

What a great video! Thank you so much, I’ve learned so much from your Instagram and when this video pop up in my feed I knew I needed it!

[@ryanarnold2948]

Nice. Really useful explanations for drawing line art 👍

[@gizmm5041]

The video was very helpful for me. no amount of thanks would be enough

[@the_drunkenangel2493]

Nice vid, well organized and straight to the point I appreciate that!

[@hisabelmc]

Hello! I just tried today and I am mesmerized by your workflow, for me, I couldn't even draw a potato. I guess it's just practice but I was looking into the traditional tools and I was so lost lol. Great work!

[@KalebGonyea]

Really great video! I look forward to seeing what you come up with next!

[@TheIwatt1]

Great tutorial dude, I'm hooked

[@coopersamp6002]

Great stuff man! Colors are always on point 👌

[@TheOnly4Point0]

You’re really the man. Amazing work and equally amazing tutorial! 🔥

[@ibrahimshwaiki6956]

Welcome back

[@jackroyledesign1607]

haha thanks man

[@lovemyworld007]

Thank you! This was so so helpful

[@WendyNic]

Thank you soooo much for this💚💚💚

[@juan2617]

Good morning first of all you have a great tutorial my only question is the following when you are using your rectangle tool and you put it on top of the fingers you were joining the lines together with the fingers but it was too quick for me to understand could you please explain either in text or could you create another video explaining how you did that portion thank you overall great video what is the best one so far I’ve seen

[@jackroyledesign1607]

So for that, I added and deleted anchor points. So just have you object selected then open the pen tool again and select where you want to add anchor points. Once you have done that then open direct selection and delete the anchor points you want to remove :) Hope this helps

[@metubehd]

It does have all the features like the desktop version?

[@kjbill]

Affinity Designer for iPad is so much better ( and no monthly payments )

[@dad.0]

Great video, I love my iPad Pro

[@h.b.p1197]

I just downloaded it. 😊

[@brandonready411]

Amazing tutorial.

[@deshawnedwards5086]

Can you do a tutorial on how to color step by step and tools to use in the process thank you

[@kuldeepsingh-sl6xv]

do comparison with affinity designer

[@dnlagames]

Great tutorial bro

[@phantomlabs8876]

Nice video but a little advice. The camera refocuses very often constantly blurring the background whenever your hand is there. Try locking the focus of the camera onto the iPad screen so that it eliminates this issue.👍

[@jackroyledesign1607]

Yeah sadly I noticed that at the beginning, once there is a piece on the iPad it focuses. All noted for the next video though 🙂

[@karma121983]

Awesome video! One question. How did you turn the ellipse into the tapered lines for the wrist details during the inking stage? I couldn’t quite catch that. Again thanks for the great video.

[@ZekuRBLX_]

when i color it go over my outlines and i cant edit with an locked layer

[@dorianhill9322]

How do I use the pen tool where it does not turn into a fill. Where just a normal stroke

[@jackroyledesign1607]

For that, go into your fill and make sure the box is unticked :) hope this helps

[@AdamAllen]

This is helpful 💪🏾

[@ralle_aus_halle]

Nice Workflow

[@Threenineswon20racks]

How’d you delete the line in front of the fingers, that’s where I’m getting stuck at. In the video it’s sped up.

[@MARKEVER72]

Hi how can I change the background? Please 🙏😊

[@juan2617]

Thank you so very much for responding to me my last question that I have is that I do a lot of laser cutting in illustrator in order for me to have all the parts cut together I need to do a circle or some sort of shape and send it to the back you think I could do the same thing here for the elevator on the iPad is not advanced enough

[@jackroyledesign1607]

Ermmm I think you should be fine, but I don't really use laser cutters so not too familiar with the process.

[@E.Com.proDXN]

Just completed my Adobe Illustrator CC : Essential course. I'm gonna use your video as my guidance. Just want to say, you looked like Eddie Redmayne and Jamie Bell :)

[@teabagNBG]

whats the difference to the illustrator draw app? im using illustrator daily on windows and i maybe want to get me a ipad because of these two apps LOL but i wanted to know the difference b efore?

[@straycat3286]

This might be a dump question but how can I move an object from one layer to another in the app? 😬 thanks for help

[@aroo7245]

Open the layer section. Tap on the part you wanna move. You can either drag it up or cut copy paste it (the scissors icon on the rt side)

[@straycat3286]

@@aroo7245 thank you very much! That was easy, but for some reason I couldn’t find the tool. I appreciate your help 🙏🏻

[@aroo7245]

@@straycat3286 my pleasure. I am still learning to use the app as well. Good luck :)

[@justinhill9915]

Why didn’t you use “vectorize” to quickly convert your sketch it lines?

[@4rc3l14]

where did you get the digital clock that is on your top left of your iPad ?

[@jessefairbairn4138]

What model iPad is this?

[@dorianhill9322]

iPad Pro 2020 and I believe it’s an 11 inch

[@Baneen24]

How can I get this picture?

[@jabulaniharvey]

For tracing, the desktop version provides two crucial tools...the first is the ability to have each layer in an independent view mode (keyline or preview) and the second tool is the layers options dialog for controlling image dimming, print toggling, template setting among others. Does Illustrator for iPad allow independent layer view modes? Also a small tip...if your imported image is saved in grayscale mode you can colourized it by applying a colour swatch to it....thus obviating the need to change image opacity before you start tracing.

[@marktoth4379]

Yes. I just started using it a few days ago and it does have the ability to view individual layers. I don’t speak the lingo/jargon yet. But if making certain layers invisible to leave the single layer you want counts as independent view then yes. It has that. It took me forever but yesterday I finally found the way to dim the layer I loaded up(hand drawn sketch) which I’m intending to recreate in digital version.

[@marktoth4379]

Can I ask you a question? Is that an efficient method? I’m a regular old school artist but I’ve been really wanting to switch over to mainly working digital. Is it a good/sensical method to do that? Uploading a picture taken of my paper drawing and go from there? Or are there way more efficient methods? I’ve been an artist my whole life. I usually get the hang of everything I’ve ever tried when it comes to regular/old school artwork. But this is so different I have to admit it intimidates me a bit and I end up giving up relatively quickly. Is it really that different? Or am I just psyching myself out by having the wrong mindset or what? From my little experience with digital art and that community it seems like most who do it and even more so who are good at it seem like they started art with digital mediums (tech). From my perspective not too many people make, made or are making the shift from hand sketching/painting to adobe illustrate, Fresco, etc. Am I right? Is it all in my head? Am I just superimposing things that I assume or what!? Art has always been second nature for me so I’m kind of freaking out because art is the one thing I’ve always felt totally at home with. So tbh…. I’m kinda FREAKIN out man! Please help a bro out with whatever you can or give me some recommendations on how I can get the type of help I need. Thanks in advance!

[@jabulaniharvey]

@@marktoth4379 once you have attained facility with the tools you should find that Adobe Illustrator will give you granulat control....I think you will enjoy it....additionally the workflow that I have described has served me well for 20 years on the desktop

[@marktoth4379]

@@jabulaniharvey idk about that man. I’m so bad that I don’t even fully comprehend what you just said. Lol Facility, granulat control… might as well have told me in Japanese!

[@marktoth4379]

I think that’s the problem. Ppl take for granted that I know at least a lil something. I know they’re probably super basic baby terms for y’all. But for me… it makes me feel like going to one of those fancy breakfast restaurants where half the menu items start with letters like Q or one of those crazy É’s.

[@logunsrun76]

Instead of having an initial sketch, can you upload a color photo from google and make it black and white? All i need to do.

[@trinitodd]

I really would’ve appreciated, being new to AI, how you deleted the pencil lines dissecting the fingers, in lieu of speeding through that process.

[@frozengamer3030]

Hello can you cover Adobe Lightroom and photoshop.

[@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.

[@techyttindia8941]

Is it supported on the new Ipad Air with all latest features?

[@ayitscliffton5559]

Is there a brush tool?!

[@dareemmanuel6079]

There is but it is essentially the blob brush. So no stroke, just fill

[@jackroyledesign1607]

There is indeed, I just didn't use it for this piece :)

[@Ercann12345]

i have a question about the saving image. When i tried to save my image, my image is saving to gallery but when i click the picture to zoom in the image is turning to black background. How can i fix tihs problem.

[@jakeleerandolph]

Dumb question, at 9 mins when you start filling in color, how do you get the color to fill in cleanly behind your lines? if that makes sense. any help would be appreciated, thank you.

[@jnrlmoto]

can i ask if ai and ps is free on ipad pro ?

[@goldenashezz25]

Question: do you always do sketches first? And where do you sketch on, Adobe illustrate as well? It procreate I have never used any type of Adobe illustrate so I’m a bit confused

[@nuraymetin4155]

Hi, How did you export it? When I try to export the app export blank paper and I cannot find it in the files.

[@hehsful]

is it possible to turn the canvas on iPad ??

[@ZekuRBLX_]

thanks so muuuuttttcchhhhh!!!!!!!!!

[@mondrengrkt2855]

can the file be opened in CC illustrator on a PC ?

[@KigCha]

Do you know if illustrator on the iPad able to change resolution? As now it’s only 72 ppi

[@VolatileGuy103]

much needed it was

[@danielleshelbourne220]

Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into this, it has been very helpful! :-)

[@emorypolley2385]

Where did you design your sketch? Sorry if this is obvious, I’ve just watched so many of these and they pull up a sketch and go from there. But where would I design my sketch at?

[@DeleitaGyasiVideos]

I drew some simple stick figures for a clothing line, and i need the drawing to be in different colors, is there a way to do this? also using an iPad with adobe draw

[@alex42192]

Thank you! Do you know if there an export feature from the IPad app or Adobe CC for iPad? Trying to email illustrator files to someone via iPad and do not have a desktop to do so.

[@jackroyledesign1607]

Yeah, there is an export icon in the top right of the screen :)

[@brittanyblalock4716]

Is there anyway you would share a sketch like this or this sketch specifically so we could practice with it as our reference? I've been slowly learning Illustrator on Desktop but have a hard time with the pen tool. I'm used to Procreate on the iPad so obviously stoked about this. I would love to use your sketch in order to get familiar with how to use the pen tool and follow along on your video a few times!

[@jackroyledesign1607]

Oooo, I like the idea of that, might be something I look into doing for my next video 😃

[@WelbornJeff]

I love the app so far. But silly question. How do you skew an object?

[@jackroyledesign1607]

Skewing an object is best to grab your anchor points and skew them that way :)

[@WelbornJeff]

@@jackroyledesign1607 dang I was afraid of that. Thanks!

[@uncletrick1]

Tip: Use manual focus on your video camera.

[@scrapdaworld]

Great video!! I just subbed because your instructions were clear and easy to follow. I have a question that maybe you can answer. I use Silhouette studio business edition. I just started a trial of AI on my iPad. I’m using this program for the very first time. My goal is to make and design my own SVG’s to sell. Example: I want to make shaped boxes. I have a star shaped but I want to turn it into a box to be able to cut out into a 3D paper object. What can I search that can point me in the right direction? I am soooo lost. Thanks in advance.

[@Katewhittaker]

Might seem like a daft question, does anyone know how the image was drawn before it was inserted into illustrator (procreate/hand drawn on paper etc) ? Completely new to illustrator so no idea

[@themorganleigh]

Probably procreate

[@emorypolley2385]

Thanks! I always had the same question

[@JasonRowePhoto]

Thanks

[@PISrex]

wich ipad are you using ?

[@flatdog-]

Thank you

[@delulu6969]

3:20 I thought you can lock the image straight away in the hovering bar?

[@jackroyledesign1607]

You can, but always good separate things in layers so you can just hide them when needed :)

[@tarahauck3745]

Very nice!

[@-nitha3499]

Have you compared illustrator on the ipad vs. illustrator draw on the ipad. I can't make up my mind on which one I should become proficient on. uggh So many choices. I do know illustrator on the desktop, kind of.

[@jayt214ify]

I need your help

[@adrielecardoso3912]

what is this ipad?

[@jessfoster5490]

Do you find yourself still using a desktop more often than the iPad for illustrating? I'm trying to decide whether to take the leap for an iPad!

[@eze3572]

Nice video. I don’t know why but I just can’t get excited about the process. As I’ve said before it just seems like too much work to retrace and vectorize an already drawn sketch and the process is really boring. There’s got to be a better way.

[@tharidumadhusanka]

Awesome

[@dareemmanuel6079]

Guys, really consider Affinity designer. It's a one time payment and it can do everything here and more. You can also export as vector and continue your work on Illustrator desktop

[@arietrihandoko7747]

Yes, i think affinity still better 👍🏼

[@acarl005]

The camera focusing issues are really distracting.
