How to Use Recolor Artwork in Adobe Illustrator

[@tessellatiaartilery8197]

Great tips, excellent tutorial. So many hints and features explained in a succinct friendly way. Also, showing us how to use presets in the Recolor Artwork panel was particularly helpful . I could not find this (how to use Swatch set presets in Recolor Artwork panel) explained so well anywhere else online now in 2023. Showing what was happening with the options for Tints and Shades in recolour much appreciated had been baffled by this for ages. Wish I had found this video years sooner! Brilliant tips on how to speed up selecting and working with grouped colour swatches to effectively re-colour. Thank you very much indeed.

Love this video! This is one of my favorite features about Illustrator

[@NupurShah-MarvelHomes]

Thank you so much! Now I understand recolor artwork much better. I can see your efforts to understand it by yourself and it's very kind of you to share this with all of us. Your voice is lovely and encouraging.

Even though the UI has changed a little over three years, this video is still awesomely helpful! Sweet work!

[@TurtleXL]

Very helpful and time saving thank you, I`m glad I searched to see if there was a way to change all the colors at once than changing them individually.

[@infographie]

That is excellent, thanks for that useful post.

[@Joel-oy8nz]

I didn't have much hope for such a clear, well made video when I clicked on this link. What a pleasant surprise. Subbed...

[@gause__]

extremely helpful bro!

[@Joulfreunde]

This is so cool! I've been convinced that Illustrator must (or at least ought to) have this kind of feature. But I never found it by myself :D So thank you very much for showing and explaining in such detail!

[@TheSimpleDesigners]

Thanks! 🍻

[@franfran4953]

Hey! Thank you so much for your helpful video. :) I have an art piece that has a watercolor look to it and it contains over 5,000 colors! I'm trying to recolor it based on a color palette with only 20 colors. So kind of like the last case you're describing in your video. Sadly, the smaller number of colors takes away the watercolor effect since the colors don't fade into each other as well anymore. Is there a way to fix it and make it replace all those 5,000 colors with shades of my color palette?

[@alykat23ful]

This was so helpful! Thank you!

[@tutvid]

Thanks!

[@PecoJecc]

Great video !!!! Thank you!!!

[@Tazziii]

[@heathersheldrick4461]

Very helpful. Thanks

[@tutvid]

Thanks for the comment, Heather!

[@medievverse]

Very good, thank you! Is this really how you talk or there is some speed up added to the video?

[@tinderbox218]

I've always loved experimenting with this tool but I've always hated the non-intuitive interface. This tut helps, thanks

[@angelcaban2387]

Nice, Good stuff keep it coming

[@tutvid]

Really appreciate the kind words! 👍

[@sahandhosseini4533]

that was amazing! thank you :)

[@sudhanshubhagwat9538]

Please make a video of how do you make that artwork and illustrator for beginners.

[@Nitschkitsch]

Same here!

[@elisha023456]

Great video! Thank you! But I could not edit the black. Even in Photoshop it's hard to edit a black picture. If the picture is made of gray and black - how do you change the color of all of them together?

[@olive2311]

Thank you! It really helped me to recolor my résumé without doing it color by color

[@msteiny37]

Thank you! This video got me out of HUGE bind

[@TheOpiumFields]

So much nicer when there's a tutorial guy who's actually hunky.

[@olaladavid6622]

[@PreschoolPlay]

[@SerpentLightDrums]

[@vim92]

How to you see which part of the artwork you are editing without having to go to each colour and adjusting the controls?

[@ave1996]

HI, for example I have lots for 1 solid color object and I want to randomly apply a swatch group, it is possible?

[@vladimirprivulovic6304]

Big thanks!

[@ekspresija101]

[@boykodmitriy]

Thank you!

[@annieclore9443]

I am having a BIG PROBLEM getting the recolor artwork tool to ADD a color. I am missing something. I can't get it to work. No tutorials for this anywhere.

[@amnvd]

have you tried making a swatch of the colour and adding it to the colour group you are using?

[@PaulaMarkert]

Could you a portrait retouching like the saturday night live bumpers from the photographer mary ellen matthews?

[@kreativenarciso4199]

Thank you.

[@mastashish007]
