💪Unleashing the POWER of Adobe Fresco!

In today's video, join me, Chris Piascik, a professional illustrator with over 15 years of experience collaborating with big names like Google, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and Adobe. I'm excited to share five Adobe Fresco tips that I wish I knew when I started using it regularly.
🤔 Have you ever struggled with the eraser tool messing up your brush texture? Well, I've got the perfect solution for you! I'll show you how to seamlessly use your brush as an eraser by using the touch modifier 2 different ways.
🌈 Let's dive into the world of reference layers and discover how they can revolutionize your coloring game! I'll demonstrate how to set up reference layers to effortlessly color within the lines while maintaining the flexibility of having your color on its own layer.
🖌️ Have you ever tried to fill something with the paint bucket only to get an annoying halo around the edges? I'll show you how to fine-tune the color margin to get rid of that.
🎨 I'll show you how to use clipping masks with your color layers to add texture and depth to your illustrations without affecting the surrounding elements.
🖌️ Lost in the vast sea of brushes? I'll reveal a handy tip on organizing your favorite brushes into a "Favorites" folder, saving you time and keeping your go-to tools at your fingertips.
🌈 Feeling indecisive about colors? I'll demonstrate a quick and easy way to experiment with hues using adjustment layers and clipping masks, allowing you to fine-tune your color palette without the commitment.

[@TheChameleon2008]

Hi Chris, hope you are doing well after the flue! I have a question about the vector brushes and when i use them and i want to do a color fill, do i still use the paint bucked for a vector fill or do i need to color it in manually with a vector brush?

[@chris-piascik]

Thanks! You can use the paint bucket with the vector brushes.

[@sumuph]

Yeh more tips please 🙏

[@chris-piascik]

Cool, thanks!

[@tahdonna7668]

Love your videos. Thanks. With all the texture and clipping masks, can you then save it and use it for a tshirt print? I was told I couldn't use transparency and/or other features on a tshirt. I'm not sure what other features don't cross over onto a tshirt designs. Thanks.

[@chris-piascik]

You can, but it really depends on how the shirts are being printed, whether it’s silkscreen or direct to garment, etc. They’ll have very different requirements in most cases.

[@Meximac]

You’re a wizard!

[@WandaAdams]

More tips, please!

[@chris-piascik]

you got it!

[@BluCranium]

Hey Chris, In another video you had done a skull with wings and drawn it via the vector brushes, and you then exported that to Illustrator to clean up the extra nodes. My question is if you dont have adobe illustrator is that going to be an issue if your unable to do that step you had done?

[@chris-piascik]

No that step isn’t necessary, I just like to simplify it the file a little bit, but it’s definitely not required.

[@BluCranium]

Thank You. @@chris-piascik

[@pd5244]

Once you add the texture brushes to it doesn't it change the file from vector to raster when it's imported into Illustrator? Are there any texture brushes that stay vector?

[@chris-piascik]

Well, if you’re working with a texture brush it will automatically make a raster layer above your vector layer. The vector layer will remain vector unless you merge it with the raster layer. Unfortunately there’s not currently a way to add vector texture brushes in Fresco.

[@davidstedmond7705]

@ChrisPiascik “Pressure for Opacity” and “Pressure for Size” that can be found in Photoshop seem to be missing from Adobe Fresco. Am I correct?

[@chris-piascik]

Nope, you can control those in the brush settings menu for each individual brush, I believe under “pressure dynamics”

[@RobertSmith-es2gh]

Mate, I’d never imagined this to happen, but I guess you sold me on Fresco. Seems Procreate will go into hibernation.

[@chris-piascik]

Hah, whoops!

[@armanpranto7577]

Can anyone tell how can I add glow or blur in fresco? Is that possible?

[@chris-piascik]

There’s not a filter but you could do it with a brush.

[@artbydinuka5864]

❤😍

[@chris-piascik]

[@crypto-on-the-beat2922]

That's dope

[@chris-piascik]

Thank you!

[@Nerdflipper]

Until they fix the "Vector Glitch" in Fresco is solved for me it is not usable as a app. It took Adobe 6 months to admit it was not my fault so I hope with the next update. ;(

[@chris-piascik]

Hmm, what's the vector glitch? I don't have any vector issues. Are you on Windows by any chance?

[@Nerdflipper]

It causes the whole app to freeze when using vector ... the current work around is either swipe up or two finger tap then three finger tap..@@chris-piascik

[@inquizitive1]

I'm also finding a glitch in vector drawing which basically looks like random dots or lines shooting out randomly from my pen contact and I often cant use the any of the tools like its frozen except I can still draw. @@chris-piascik

[@kyletwebster]

No glitches for me, either - please elaborate.

[@inquizitive1]

@@kyletwebster can i send a screen record?

[@drross8138]

Like the weeknd said save your tips for another day... 😅

[@chris-piascik]

😁

[@TrEndFeVeR22]

Thank you for providing free tutorials on Fresco. I just started learning beginning of this year in 2024 but was wondering How can I have multiple arboards like photoshop and illustrator??? I can’t seem to find that function inside the fresco… Did it came out yet? I am a 2D motion designer and really need that feature.

[@chris-piascik]

Unfortunately that’s not an option yet. I just use folders for projects as a (sort of) workaround.
