How to Create Textures in Illustrator Part 1

[@YesImaDesigner]

Watch Part 2 of this tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKewp5mmf7SVZrc

Hi!! I have a question. At 10:51 you copied the second hill and pressed Cmd+F. That should result in the two elipses being next to each other in the layers pannel but in a split second there, the elements in the layer's pannel shift. The shapes are suddenly not right next to each other.. You can see what I mean in 10:55.. One of the elipses is the one highlighted (light gray) and the other is the one with the cyan square next to it.. On top of that, one of the elipses seems to be inside of a group or something like that now.. when did that happened? Did you arranged them without saying anything to the camera? Did it happened on it's own because of something? This is confusing me a lot. Thanks!

It's lovely to find an expert who is so considered in their instructions. Thanks ever so much.

I've watched 5 tutorials on how to do grain effects today and this is definitely the best one, using masks gives you so much flexibility. Thanks Martin!

[@petersamdruplepcha740]

I was looking for this tutorial for a long time and now I have found it, thank you so much for your tutorial as it is making a big difference in my art and illustrative work. Thank you once again for your great contribution. Peter, Sikkim, India.

[@ahmedelsaedy7426]

You know I watch a lot of designers teach this grain effect all of them can't deliver the idea simple like you, Thanks a lot ❤❤✔✔

[@nanapapadimitriou180]

[@sarolena]

شكرا لك , لقد أحببت هذه الطريقة وشرحك لها قد كان سهل وواضح واظهرت عملي بشكل رائع !

[@lizannedsouza1838]

So gentle, so systematic. If I had one tiny feedback - it would be a little emphasis on points that can not be missed, and why we must do it. Thanks so much!

[@manishanarshi7749]

I press like button before even watching any of your video. 👍

[@HamzaJatte]

I bought your Adobe Illustrator course on Udemy and it was so amazing. I love how clearly and specifically you talk about any feature or option or tool. I am definitely purchasing the membership, probably some two months from now once I settle some stuff.

[@lolodoom]

If there is button “big love” to press for this video it will not be enough for your work man Thanks a lot for all your big efforts 🙏👏🏻

[@lj8760]

The best tutorial for gradient beginner. Love it!! Thanks

[@YassDesignStudio]

I absolutely love this tutorial, I currently take a couple of your classes on Skillshare, but these shading technique will up my art for sure. Thanks!🤗

[@andreaIantis]

So helpful! Also love your drawing it's so cute

[@NedaDraws]

You’re an amazing teacher! 😊👍

[@fraicheness]

Toward the end, if you look at the little icon silhouette of the llama in the transparency window, it's instantly recognizable as a llama. Now that's some good design.

[@gigachad9211]

In photoshop, paint the highlights our shadows and put in in the dissolve blend mode. Change the fill value for adjustments

[@mightyhammerhead]

Absolutely Fantastic! You are a natural teacher, and you have mad skills, Thanks...

[@ketakirane4932]

An excellent tutorial. Thank you.

[@joshua7996]

you're honestly the best teacher... wow...

[@rebelleaf]

Hey bro, really nice technique. I've used this technique with the color halftone filter and new freeform gradient tool with quite interesting results.

[@minimaltech-demo]

Great tutorials. I've done this with stipple brushes nested inside my objects before, but this technique is quicker and neater. Thanks for sharing.

[@Sam-pg5lt]

You are amazing my man!

[@rachels432]

I have seen so many illustrators using this effect, thank you for this excellent tutorial cant wait to try it myself! btw im loving the accent.

[@YesImaDesigner]

Good luck with it Rachel, and please tag your work when sharing with @yesimadesigner so I can check it out 🙌

Thank you sooo much! This is great.

[@hertzdesigns9166]

Love it, texture adds another detail to make designer look awesome

[@Kuriie]

Great Tutorial! I always loved this effect but this technique definitely seems the most efficient. Especially since you can go back into the effect and change it as needed.

[@wesharedesign]

OMG! I'm in love with this channel

[@STAMPER-DESIGN]

Thanks! I wasn't using masks for this, makes so much more sense.

[@mira-graphics]

[@infographie]

Excellent

[@gigihhalim]

Very helpful. Thank you

[@lilapupila8927]

I really needed some good tutorial on this theme, its very well explained so thank you a lot!

[@maxbogner1]

Thank you. I love this and I think you're a great instructor. However, unless I missed it, you didn't explain how to separate/get the newly created textured shading onto the shading layer you created at the outset. A simple drag and drop-of course-just places it above all the rest of the artwork. You showed us how you could turn on and off the shading, but it's not clear how to get it all onto a separate layer and still be masked to the right object parts. Thanks again.

[@viktoriacarralesraichynets1851]

This is awesome! Thank you!

[@Harpreetkaur-sm2rk]

Really nice informative technique thank you sir.

[@Sabirali00139]

Very useful technique I learn new things from you're tutorial keep posting its help.

[@fellowartistb]

I would love to see a sketching tutorial video especially your personal process :) (so far I am enjoying your videos, super helpful!)

[@MarcCardwell]

[@alexandrugrecov8964]

[@YesImaDesigner]

It's coming next Monday 👍

Great !

[@haritarao9522]

Thanks! I did not know about the grain effect

[@jonathanhallo7771]

Hi there! Can you share your workspace setup please? Love this effect. Great tutorial, thank you!!

[@IlanaPolakiewicz]

What a fantastic tutorial! Thank you very much

[@DaedalosC9]

awesome, always loved that grain effect

[@SavB108]

This is my first video of yours I've watched and you are so great! Where is your accent from?

[@joannatillery]

Would love the sketching video!

[@napoleonphillips7667]

Brilliant!

[@ValdairLeonardo]

Amazing!

[@ZsokaMarko]

Yes I'd love to see tutorials on sketching! Also, a total basic thing I can't figure out...is there a way to draw more organic looking lines in AI, like when I wanna add little detail lines, I dont want my stroke to be just cut at the ends if you know what I mean? Hard to explain. Anyway, love your videos, looking forward to the next one! Thanks so much!

[@YesImaDesigner]

I would use custom brushes for more organic looking lines. Probably Art Brushes would work best. I just finished recording another 2-part tutorial on Illustrator brushes, which will come out in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned :)

[@ZsokaMarko]

That's awesome! Thank you so much! Can't wait to see those tutorials!

[@fluxstandard8364]

Thank you thank you very in-depth

[@sonsoftheedelweiss72]

Can illustrators use computer art programs to make regular painting like oil and acrylic. Thk you. Enjoyed

[@tl4009]

Nifty technique. Thank you very much for sharing, but just want to ask if you have any tips on controlling the size of these grains. The only factor I can find right now is to adjust the size of your canvas.

[@fabiamc]

Shortcut for switching between mask layer and other layers might be ALT click on the mask icon

[@JeanneSullivanDesign]

Another fantastic tutorial, Martin! Thank you SO much! I really appreciate you stopping from time to time to point out & explain the notations in the layers panel as you work. I find that difficult to discern on my own. Yes, I'm sure there'd be a lot of interest in watching your complete iPad Pro process, as you describe as your "sketching phase", and how you transition into Illustrator & right up to the point where this video begins! Maybe another course, please?

[@YesImaDesigner]

Thanks Jeanne, it's good to know the right pronounciation 🙌 and I will make more videos showing the starting phase of illustrations.

[@JeanneSullivanDesign]

@@YesImaDesigner Any way you say it sounds like music to my ears. My great-grandmother and grandmother came here from Hungary. Thank you for being so open to our "wish list"!

[@diegomolineaux]

Amazing tutorial, what happened if I don’t inverse the mask?

[@tiffanyb-w2742]

I would love to learn more about how you sketch, it's my weakest area.

[@pjay7346]

Thank you for this nice tutorial :D

[@marcmolon-IHD]

hi, which pencil do you used for your workflow? thank you for your work

[@flixlouder8558]

Thank you so much!

[@amirloucif]

amazingggggggggggggggg lovee it

[@moroco.design]

Awesome!

[@thea682]

Yes teach us about sketching

[@ahmetkuru08]

Stick with it it gets easy over ti

[@jiphuiswerk3900]

question, why do we need to invert the mask?? it also works without. Is it for edibility?

[@darkhorse1985]

Followed the steps but can't see the image on the right side of the Transparency panel. Any ideas what might be going wrong? Thanks

[@marlonalarcon3943]

I love all your videos. It would be great if you share the templates of the drawing.

[@avedonarcade]

Can you also do this with the freeform gradients?
