[@michaelbragdon4546]

Charley you make the most professional and detailed design videos I’ve ever watched. Thank you for doing what you do! I would love to collab on a design with you!!!

[@adrianboysel]

Agreed!

[@ricebeansrockroll882]

I love these shorts, they are perfect for my pomodoro breaks!

[@Eric_Shaun]

The Bezier game is baller! I learned more than tinkering blindly around in illu over the years 🙈 thanks a bunch bro! subbed!

[@CharleyPangus]

😀🙏🏼

[@Sophik420]

So close to 200k! Thanks for the video Charley!

[@CharleyPangus]

I know! It’s exciting!

[@absolutevibe]

The real deal starts at 5:33 and ends at 5:55

[@CharleyPangus]

Appreciate the comment

[@alyssamercer4400]

So happy I just found your channel! the way you teach things is so easy to follow; I can't believe how much knowledge you are sharing!

[@CharleyPangus]

Thank you! :)

[@p.stephenhardy7868]

Bro, this is pure gold. exactly what I was looking for and to the point. About to go play the Bezier game now. Thanks for your expertise and concise explanations.

[@blueanthias]

Thanks for the great instructions Charley.

[@gabrielal6872]

very misleading title. You showed us how to outline a picture.... now what about the details, shadows etc how are those vectorized?

[@ecks8214]

Not misleading at all. It gets the vectors. Which does not inclide that information.

[@rodfrinks5947]

He did vector it.

[@Nobodyever-00]

Lol illustrator is a vector application. Therefore any art made in the application is considered vector art. I think you should look up the difference between vector and raster art.

[@JS-tp4hh]

He explained it pretty well, lol. Learn a little more, maybe before sending stuff like this...

[@ThomasHendrick-m9z]

You can’t really vectorize a gradient shadow but some details yes but it’s usually pointless depending on how clean you want it to look

[@Alana-Pierick1]

I also really like the shape builder tool, this was a great video!

[@QuickQuizGenius]

1st one Love your work

[@CharleyPangus]

Thank you so much

[@Zullala]

How did you make the line work look so interesting? it appears to have different weight throughout the image

[@ker_possible]

I was looking for that in the tutorial but then it wouldn't be a 6 minute or less tutorial lol. I'm assuming that he changes the type of stroke to a paint brush. But I haven't tested yet so I'm not 100% sure.

[@Zullala]

@@ker_possible I used to draw out my line work by hand and then trace is with the pen tool but that takes FOREVER! I suppose you can also draw the line work out by hand or digitally and then ask illustrator to trace it for you. It's faster but the layers aren't as clean. But I'm really curious as to how he did it in this video. Maybe I missed something and should rewatch it.

[@boping]

Numbers of ways to achieve this, but you can do so by setting pen pressure on if you have a tablet and then go crazy w the brush tool; or you can use the width tool which might be a lil tricky depending on what you're doing.

[@B_DD-hs6wz]

Is it only black and white? Or can we add color to it. I’m trying to learn how to do all this.

[@3DPrintFarm]

Nice job sir!

[@CharleyPangus]

Thank you!

[@lloydcox1765]

Cheers man!

[@adrianboysel]

Just found your channel, super dope content brother. 🙏 subbed.

[@CharleyPangus]

Thank you so much!

[@adrianboysel]

@@CharleyPangus keep it rockin, would love to meet you sometime. Have any events coming up? I'm speaking at DisneyWorld in September

[@GemmaWeirs]

Very cool but how did you do the textured background?

[@henrikeverheijen153]

The easiest way is to use a splatter or grain brush so everything stays vector. I downloaded a lot of these on Envato. It makes my artwork stand out so much more!

[@yoericktv9610]

Thanks my guy!

[@billwilliams4281]

Rounding the sharp points with the direct selection tool...is that same method available in Photoshop? Just curious.

[@BASE5NYC]

That was a really good basic breakdown. Wish I had something like this when I was learning AI 10+ years ago.

[@abstractwrld]

that was dope!

[@Arewethereyet69]

Great Video! Great little training tool also!

[@evi1ginx67]

Awesome bro we need more tutorials about illustrator 💙

[@ruwanwlr9388]

This is really helpful, ha haa you have changed your style, extended coverage!

[@KukiGymJunkie]

How do i unlink the last point to start anew and separate point?

[@alekosimba]

Hell yeah!

[@CharleyPangus]

😃

[@NtajYs]

thanks

[@alvinpena8210]

sickkkkkk thanks bro 🔥

[@Mro183]

That game! Legend thanks so much

[@copycatlyn]

most important thing to any creator.... reference images. every single creative application I have learned , reference images are the biggest theme I see.

[@tod7977]

Mr Pangus = cool + talented + helpful + all round nice guy

[@victoriancuddler]

literally the video i needed as a self taught graphics designer lmao

[@lairekarice3556]

Yes my friend u make it look easy. How do you know when to use photoshop and when to use Ai? Thanks

[@onyx.j5970]

i love this video ive been looking for something like this forever!

[@Red_Dead_Director]

I just started doing this and I have about 30 clients, mostly politicians / campaign signs / websites / walk cards / flyers .... But I just got a request for a 12 foot by 24 foot billboard and im freaking out.. I found a program that vectorizes images , which I imagine i am going to need. My question is where can I find a 24' width 12' height pdf blank template? I imagine I just create the dimensions in Illustrator, but is there a way to do something that big in adobe pro?

[@slizzcity7317]

How would you vector a whole poster or package design? Would you have to trace each individual element in the design?

[@strickerarts]

Id use the image trace feature and then clean it up so it looks good. It also depends on the detail of the image.

[@badalhossain2855]

Great bro keep it up

[@Studio7g]

charley i have a question, where can i find images that i can use for my shirt shop? and how do i get inspired? all the times i get inspired i just copy something...

[@CharleyPangus]

You can sign up to Adobe stock or Envato elements. It’s ok to look at things for inspiration but challenge yourself to put your own spin on it! :)

[@sulimaniii]

Freepik, or pixbay, always try to put your imagination on these pictures or get inspiration, so u won't fall on trademark and copy right.

[@MarinaArtDesign]

You have a lot of good YT channels (and a lot of bad ones) giving advice on this. Check out Zen watercooler or similar. POD is strong in 2020 ad 2021 and the market is oversaturated so in order to succeed quality and originality is a must.

[@christenx]

This is literally common sense lol, thought there would be a fast trick involved

[@Desireanavarro]

So helpful! Thank you!

[@ajajulislam4420]

Charley Pangus!!😊 You are simply awesome. I really love the way teach. Keep up the good job.

[@CharleyPangus]

That means a lot to me thank you!

[@tazzytyoung19771]

How would i turn it into a svg?

[@aishwaryasingh3571]

How can I create t shirt design without iPad. I don't know how to use iPad and can't effort it. I use illustrator but I cannot create heavy detail work. Please suggest

[@sarahrenee7563]

How’d you add those textures at the end? 🥰

[@CharleyPangus]

I have a ton of videos going over textures but my main methods are either a brush, displacement map or overlaying images with various blend modes. 🙏😊

[@Rando-p2p]

I am a game dev and I am so confused about what start learning first vector art or pixel art or programming languages idk so can somone help me

[@balamurugan5368]

Clickbait to artists. Awesome tutorial to those that doesn't know what Adobe illustrator basically does.

[@DannyPhantom03]

i tried the bezier its so annoying that i have to redo the whole thing again

[@mohdyoe8221]

Damn. That's hikari rider hat top brand from malaysia🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

[@CharleyPangus]

The homie sent it to me! My favorite hat now.

[@hafidzrachmat72]

how do you do the texture on the shadow?

[@whatevaguy1234]

So you have to redraw everything? Why did I do all this work on procreate if I can’t make it into a vector file without redrawing it again. Makes no sense but this is what I’m seeing

[@ev25zv]

How to vector any photo in 5 minutes or less. Spend dozens of hours practicing with the pen tool first.

[@romeopunch4869]

ok but it would be very helpful to go more into detail on the thickness of your lines, if you need sharp endings or round ones... could have been a liiiiittle longer but it's fine

[@jameschristianrosas5534]

🤟

[@bobtuly2079]

You forgot to show how to export as vector

[@alonalon11]

❤️🇵🇭

[@CharleyPangus]

😀

[@MarinaArtDesign]

Tracing the teeth was under 5 minutes? khm khm khmahm ham ahm..... Great video for pen tool though!

[@CharleyPangus]

Takes longer if you want better results! But this method is really fast when you get in a groove.

[@korczak666]

title is very misleading, there's no way to do it in 5 minutes with more detailed image

[@MelockRich]

Tnx for nothing

[@CharleyPangus]

Who took a 💩 in your cereal… lol

[@SpiritSoldier007]

@CharleyPangus ha I used to say this but I'd say who crapped in your cornflakes😂
