____________________________________________________________________________________________
How to turn a thumbnail pencil sketch into a clean flat design vector logo graphic in Adobe Illustrator CC. You will learn how to create a beautiful simple flat design slice of pizza.
This video is easy and quick to learn for beginners and intermediate graphic designers looking to improve their skills in Adobe Illustrator CC using some of my tips and tricks.
You will learn step by step how to import a sketch into Illustrator. Then set it as a template. We will then create the main outlines using the pen tool, shape builder tool, curvature tool, pathfinder when merging as well as how I choose my colours and gradients with my custom colour palette.
BTW!! If you like the colour palette I have been using in my videos. I am happy to announce you can now purchase it on my Etsy shot for less than a cup of coffee. This will take all the headaches of having to test out a bunch of colours to see which ones work! Check out the link!

Cool, next how to make a sketch

@ValcFN 🤨🤫

[@YeahDMaru]

@ValcFN that response made no sense

[@johnkeets1984]

Hahaha this is hilarious 😂😂😂

[@albertorodriguez1579]

This was cool and all, but it was mostly you showing that you can do it, I would of liked a bit more of information as of where to find the tools, what are you clicking etc…. Less music more direction on how you’re doing it.

[@kennniiikc3162]

Exactly

[@SwainsSaved]

Exactly i have know idea why they chose to make this this way

[@akashdeepjhariya3035]

There are two things if you want to make illustrations, training and tutorials. Training is basically teaching you how to use tools. These are tutorials. I'd suggest you to first learn to draw on paper, along with it, learn the tool i.e. Illustrator, then watch these tutorials, then you'll understand every single step. Because if he starts to teach tools in every tutorial, the video will become lengthy and not everyone has all the time to watch long tutorials.

[@fredblair8694]

My thoughts exactly I'm still non the wiser

[@verlourdior]

Yesss

[@comicbiga]

Holy crap I never knew about the WIDTH TOOL! You have changed how I work from here on out. THANK YOU!!!

[@DomDesigns]

Happy to help!

[@angiebcraftsdesign]

Oh my Gosh! I've used Illustrator for decades on & off... I never knew (or totally forgot) about the width tool! I would draw all those varied stoke marks as shapes! I must have missed that day of class or something. Wow. Thank you so much for this video. I inked comics traditionally with a brush, so I feel how important it is to get line weight variation but thought it was always too much of a pain in the butt drawing them as shapes. I would sometimes ink traditionally, bring them in and then live-trace them, but wasn't too keen on how they'd come out. Thank you soooo much! 🌷

[@JamesJames-pj8fl]

The knowledge curse is real! You’re going waaaay to fast you have to remember we’re learning & learning takes patience time and repetition not someone who’s just speeding through it

[@biosparkles9442]

Holy heck I had no clue you could do that with shape builder (the stroke thing), this is revolutionary

[@CelIlustra]

one of the best videos about vectorizing. most of them show people tracing someone else photos ¬¬ love how you create your own reference

[@SaraGold]

So many little techniques that I didn’t know that will go a long way! Thank you

[@emily_232]

That width taper and shape builder tool has change my life thank you

[@DomDesigns]

Haha nice, glad you learned something :)

[@annnguyen150]

This is the first video I watch from you. Honestly, your work was amazing and inspiring. Thanks to you, I can do my own digital art which I’ve never thought I could. Please dont stop doing this. Love all your videos! Again, Thanks a lotttt ❤️

[@DomDesigns]

You can do it! And thank you for your support :)

[@nemosthebandit]

I took a few courses back in college but it's been years since I tried to really use Illustrator and this was super helpful. Thank you for sharing this tutorial.

[@rotem..]

I really wish tutorials like these wouldn't have that insane party music in the background. It's the opposite of helpful when trying to process new information. I don't understand why so many tutorial creators choose to do that. Thank you for your effort, non the less.

[@deezworld2098]

Facts like play some lil wayne but still great vid

[@Hassani_70]

@@deezworld2098 💀💀🤣🤣 God dammit, I didn't want to laugh like an idiot today here take my like lol

[@paulang8254]

Thank you for the tutorial! I'm a graphic design student but my professors only taught us too basic things with the pentool. And I don't have any idea to add shades or modify the stroke like that. Your tutorial teach me a lot! Thank U 💕

[@DomDesigns]

You're very welcome!

[@mayuyun8731]

I been struggling with adobe illustrator for a good 2 weeks, since i am not familiar with working with vectors. i would have 5 minute break downs as i struggled on looking for certain settings and tools on the program. Im a noob, so it was hard for me to figure certain things that are located on the program. D: but after watching this video, it helped me a lot on understanding the tools and where some keys and window settings are located within the program. Thank you for making this video!!

[@atoofabatool1721]

you are really talented, very detailed yet precise tutorial, I swear before watching this tutorial I knew very little about shading and blending techniques, but now I think I'll learn very fast, Thank you thank you. you're a lifesaver

[@lizannedsouza1838]

At 4:34 when he splits the shapes - I got stuck here because my shapes weren't closed. So I hit Cmd+Y to get a closer look at the outlines, closed the shape and then I could build shapes with the shape builder tool :)

[@geocine]

I like this style of teaching, I learned a lot in just a short time . Please continue what you are doing, you are awesome

[@DomDesigns]

Thank you so much!

[@DesAndTheCity]

This was such a great thorough video yet a very complex design, so congrats for accomplishing such a nice outcome. I aspire to be this talented.

[@DomDesigns]

Thank you so much!

[@miyawu2140]

I enjoyed this video so much! Even as a graphic designer, there are still so many skills I could learn from you! Keep improving!

[@bobbitski]

The foundation is that you need to learn how to draw, then add the textures, colors, highlights and shadows. Great vid.

[@DomDesigns]

Yes! Thank you!

[@54warrior]

i've been using corel draw for 10+ years. making the switch to illustrator seems so daunting, amazing how the two programs can achieve the same things in such different ways. This is a great tutorial, I will have to give it a try later.

[@DomDesigns]

Thanks for sharing!

[@anxiousdevu2951]

This video is the key of success for this guy👍🏻👌 i am eager to learn illustrator i am really passionate about it but sadly i can't afford any device yet but i will work for it and buy me one😊😊 thank you for the tutorial ☺️

[@linhnguyenkhanh9485]

omg the width tool saved my life thank u sm

[@DomDesigns]

Glad I could help! :)

[@helenaradosavljevic4577]

When I get to the shape builder and try deleting the parts I don't need I run into problems. Up to then everything works fine. Once I hold alt I see the selected bit of the line, I click it and it indeed goes poof, but the rest of the line then changes significantly, it gets randomly thicker or thinner, and the anchor point where the two curves meet disappears and leaves a small but visible hole, making the connection untidy. This happens to all the lines. I'd appreciate any advice :)

[@moodyshooty]

This is amazingly well done

[@winowash]

i have some experience with illustrator and this video still taught me a few things i didn't know! helpful tips for sure

Some of the stuff you are missing like how did you get that shadow ? How did you get into isolation mode ? Bit not able to understand.

[@PeanutBreathing]

I've always thought that what I was doing in illustrator is wrong because I only learned a little bit in a year but after watching parts of this video, it would seem like I'm not wrong at all 😅😅

[@whomadethis3200]

I'm so lucky, my brother is a great artist but he lacks confidence. His 'sketches' are amazing they are basically finished products but he doesn't think they are. He always wants to colour them to bring more life to them but unfortunately hasn't found a technique that he enjoys/is good at. By watching tutorials like these and having somewhat of computer/IT knowledge I am able to do just that. Sorry if this comment sounds braggy honestly it's not I just wanted to recognise how lucky I am to have such a talented brother ❤

[@lornaspencer4731]

I really enjoyed this and can't wait to try it myself ✨ I mean this in the nicest way but the second half of the video went waaay too fast, triangles and hearts and shapes I can't name were appearing out of seemingly no where. I had to keep pausing and going back to guess what was going on without understanding what the tools were. It's probably second nature for those more experienced but as a beginner I felt so lost after a point.
