Add a live drop shadow to your hand lettering in Adobe Illustrator using a layer effect. In this video, I show you how to create the drop shadow effect, how to use it, edit it, and finally expand it. When you draw your lettering, the drop shadow is applied automatically as you draw on the layer, and your hand-drawn lettering in Illustrator looks amazing and fun!
