I've never been able to figure out how to *illustrate* in Illustrator until now. I've always tried to re-learn illustration by building shapes and whatnot. Thank you for finally posting a tutorial on the brush tools!

[@limafabioo]

Real talk Chris!!! On repeat this one!!!

[@caydendadinki8891]

Take a shot for everytime you say illustration/illustrate

[@natebragg]

[@natealexander73]

I love this style. Yours is the first one I saw so I keep coming back to it for reference.

[@1987tomtomtom1987]

I’ve been using adobe products for 15+ years now and I still enjoy your videos. Always nice to see how someone does it!

[@Combes_]

Thanks,I used this tutorial to make a mascot for my class' reading corner,his name is Bookteddy if you were wondering...

[@cindyarted]

Awesome tutorial! 🔥

[@raabemartins7894]

SIMPLY AMAZING! THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@JohnSuder]

[@shesothorny9892]

Thank you so much for teaching me!! I learned a lot drawing this!!

[@forcust0949]

thank youuu so much i learned a lot and really enjoy your video so much

[@da5idnz]

Great video! I also like to use the Variable Width tool to change the taper of strokes - eg, make them thicker in the middle or thinner towards the end. It's a useful tool to have in your arsenal.

[@danbaines10]

So cool, thank you. I’ve used illustrator for logo design but struggle with using it for illustration so thanks for simplifying this!

[@BriBrissett]

very helpful! thankyou!

[@chrism8640]

Awesome video which has helped me greatly. Many thanks!

[@axelmagicien]

The tutorial I was looking for, thanks it's beautiful !!

[@reiri_rei]

It's mind-blowing, I've been using Ai since the first day I went to art school, but never knew I could use the brush this way, I've been using pen tool and it needs lot of patient.. Thank you so much for posting this tutorial (T_T)

[@Burritonii]

This is so helpful, thank you!!

[@Systematic_Speaking]

This is excellent, thank you for putting it together.

AWESOME TUTORIAL!!! HUGE CONGRATS AGAIN!!!

[@nomonomo7063]

Great tutorial!

[@inkyelpequenodiabloangel4417]

I adore this type of cartoon, and by the way, in the beginning, mentioning the style, you also mentioned a character with that style, you said Bendy!.

[@cartoonmark75]

Thanks for the tutorial 👍

[@eleanorrana]

Loved the tutorial ! Thanks for sharing !

[@tabbathanichols5147]

Thank you so freaking much! This was beyond helpful and got me comfortable with some tools that vexed me for the last month.

[@dpjgiii]

You have taught me more than my Professor has in one semester in this video, seriously awesome vid!

[@angelosa.3178]

Dope, thanks :D Always helpful, even if i know how to do something you always deliver something new.

[@blue_ranger]

Love that style of cartoon, have you seen the video game 'Cuphead'? That's all in this style.

[@sicjes1]

Bendy and the ink machine as well, right?

[@spoongraphics]

Blue Ranger There’s a good video that goes into detail about the ‘Rubber hose’ style used in the Cuphead game. Never played it myself but it looks cool, especially knowing it was made using old school animation techniques

[@weegle.]

@@spoongraphics I believe the video you're talking about is the one by Scribble Kibble, which is a great vid!

Do you have a video about drawing in that 1950s comic book style I would really like to see something like that.

[@sabirnesibli6045]

wow supeeerrr tutorial amazing tip I want look this cartoon draw video tutorial again Thanks.

[@simonnunns6589]

I got inspiration for the 1930s style mostly because after I watched the CupHead show I was like “WOW, The animation was AMAZING!” And so every time I draw my original characters I always make in the style of the RubberHose animation or as I also like to call it the CupHead style. If you know what I mean

[@Dark_Knightro]

Thank you. I can try to recreate this on inkscape.

[@ZuzuDesigns]

Thanks

[@WujekStaszekz]

Cool hotdog, it looks like cuphead :D

[@tempolynnrealofficial]

Okay so everyone calls them pie shaped eyes but like Bruh that’s pac-man ANYWAY this is awesome and it is helping a lot :3

[@cupheadboi3226]

Because pie eyes is the correct way to say it but pac man eyes isn’t what it was originally called because no pac man in the 1930’s not even arcade games so stop acting all Dude yo so dumb

[@tempolynnrealofficial]

I was kidding but ight :/

[@5rij7]

@@tempolynnrealofficial what happened?

[@guywhoeating]

Hello! Very coold video, thanks so much. But i dont undertand what command you use in photoshop, tell me please. Thank you!

[@ZanicL3]

Does he draw these with a drawing tablet? I cant seem to get it right with using a mouse. Thinking of getting a drawing tablet tbh.

[@alexecioranu764]

tablet

[@nuhuke]

i love you

[@lordcavokpepler6476]

is it good to have multiple color and a kinda messy background on my poster? (dont answer this I only wrote this because my teacher wanted to see it)

[@zara2271]

What do you call these kinds of illustration? And is there a website that offers free illustrations like this?

[@IBloomerI]

Aw yes. *NukaWorld*

[@kaylajo7075]

Is it normal that I can’t change the color of the brush stroke after using it though? 😮

[@michaelzelaya873]

Do you design with your mouse or a pen ! Please help I have trouble with my mouse

[@alexecioranu764]

pen

[@yarousum6627]

May i know you draw the face and hand with iPad?

[@TheNicckkk]

Hello! Great tutorial! I would like to know if that model like that, would work for animation in After effects! thank you! :) subscribed tho

[@mauryw.1818]

Which tablet are you using?

[@RagsTattoo]

Loved the style and the final result! Great tips you got there! Buuut be careful! You didn't drew the arms and legs alternating, which normally happens when we walk or run :P

[@jasonb3907]

Buuut keep an open mind because he happens to be dancing in place my friend! :P

[@_what._.]

Is there another software that would be free and working as well than Adobe Illustrator ? 😅

[@tomaszcz.6949]

Great tips :) Thanks! Are you using tablet or mouse ?

It’s the same technique to draw a new mascot character.
