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!

[@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 ❤❤✔✔

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!🤗

[@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.

[@yamiletviloria747]

Best platform on Ai I have found so far.

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

[@benzeautocad2910]

Thank you sooo much! This is great.

[@beelian413]

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

[@laughandbelly]

thank you so much for sharing your knowledge to us on youtube!

[@dianafan609]

Appreciate that you were very concise with all your steps. Great tutorial. 👍

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

[@viktoriacarralesraichynets1851]

This is awesome! Thank you!

[@fellowartistb]

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

[@amiradaoud3253]

Of course it was very enjoy

[@Sabirali00139]

[@kitsunelew8743]

Thank you! The lesson was very useful and you explain the information so well ;)

[@solongmari]

I love love love this! thank you so much!

[@katia2446]

I was looking for it so long x.x Thanks a lot!

[@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.

[@MarcCardwell]

this is a great tutorial! nice job. new subscriber based on this.

[@STAMPER-DESIGN]

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

[@lauraserna4100]

Thank you! Such a simple but vital technique!

[@haritarao9522]

Thanks! I did not know about the grain effect

[@beccarand]

This is such a good tutorial! THANK YOU!

[@lilapupila8927]

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

[@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"!

[@infographie]

Excellent

[@sonsoftheedelweiss72]

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

[@fluxstandard8364]

Thank you thank you very in-depth

[@bsigns1935]

yay...been waiting for this

[@IlanaPolakiewicz]

What a fantastic tutorial! Thank you very much

[@marcmolon-IHD]

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

[@DaedalosC9]

awesome, always loved that grain effect

[@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.

[@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!

[@napoleonphillips7667]

Brilliant!

[@marlonalarcon3943]

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

[@ValdairLeonardo]

Amazing!

[@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.

[@diegomolineaux]

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

[@avedonarcade]

Can you also do this with the freeform gradients?

[@moroco.design]

Awesome!

[@thea682]

Yes teach us about sketching

[@amirloucif]

amazingggggggggggggggg lovee it

[@pjay7346]

Thank you for this nice tutorial :D

[@tiffanyb-w2742]

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

[@jiphuiswerk3900]

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

[@ejazahmad7802]

#masgraphicdesigner awesome, always loved that grain effect

[@RajyShalabi]

Bro, did you make a video about sketching?

[@flixlouder8558]

Thank you so much!
