That simple trick with expanding the gradient box for color swatches blew my mind. The rest of the tutorial was fantastic but that particular trick just saved me so much time on so many projects, thank you thank you thank you!!

[@ShafqatKhanShafky]

exactly, right on the spot trick...

[@RahulMaurya-vr1fq]

IKRR it makes everything so time efficient!!

[@JustinHappenstance]

I can't believe how advanced illustrator has become. I have used it from 1.0, it's insane now what you can come up with. I had to use filters to do some of this but not quite as well.

Making swatches from gradient; that sold me. Thanks

[@msegamedev]

Thanks for this tutorial. I have little experience in illustrator and this will help me to draw some elements of an indie game project that I am doing.

Thank you:). keep visiting for more creative stuff.

[@thenar]

Thanks for this tutorial...I can use some of it for laser cutting layer art. I wish you could have given some verbal instructions on what you were doing...hard to follow all your moves. But overall it was very good.

[@CoolGuyDesigns]

I usually do acid and make these. However, I listen to better music when I do it. Fun video though!

[@KomalKankaria]

I made this last night! Came out really cool. Only question is even when i used clipping mask in the last it did remove all the extra work outside the artboard but was still showing up when i exported in .jpeg. I then used save for web option because then we can clip to artboard. But how do i use just clipping mask and get rid of everything else outside of artboard? i've had this problem before too. please answer.

[@asteele911]

21minutes of that music, thank god for mute. good tutorial though

[@CreativeClaws]

Thanks ^_^

[@mohamedab9033]

The expanding gradient box trick is brilliant. But can it be replaced simply with an outward Off set path, though?

[@kuvvatashyrov2677]

i love it

[@CreativeClaws]

Thank you :) @Kuvvat Ashyrov

[@akbersplay]

Very helpful video thank you so much i from Pakistan

[@sasha.charmer]

Amazing tutorial. Thank you💕 where can I get a fish symbol? If I'll start draw fish, it's take me more time. Can give me advice? 😸 I have to draw it by myself? 👀

[@eudorayoung4361]

Great! But some shortcut keys didn't show, and sometimes I can't see which key you press. Could you add some supplementary information? Thanks~

[@GauravJD]

Very good.

[@CreativeClaws]

thank you:)

[@HowtoGraphicDesign]

the color, the lights, the video, complexion of your beautiful skin???

[@CTZN1]

can you explain on 4:23, it looks you locked it, and then random click on artboard and suddenly the lines appearing again? why i cant do that? if i skip the locking, and go to pathfinder, it didnt give me white cut.

[@oneaboveall7489]

can I do this in corel draw?

[@suryakrishna4662]

Good job! How'd you manage to cut off the excess content out of artboard at last? Was that clipping mask? I didn't understand that.

[@markyanagisawa1723]

select all layers, ctrl+7?

[@jangjihye88]

Yup it is clipping mask!

[@animadion2494]

@@markyanagisawa1723 thanks, exact answer i was looking for!

[@phibuunguyen5377]

I learn something today

[@CreativeClaws]

Thanks :)

[@phibuunguyen5377]

No, thank YOU! That's really helpful to me.

[@CreativeClaws]

I'm glad :) that my video is helpful to you.

[@GraphicDesignStudio]

this type design was trend in 2019

[@CreativeClaws]

Yeah! it's true Graphic Design Studio.

[@sujutoons9540]

nice

[@designsbyhiroki]

great tutorial. but when I did the drop shadow (which took forever to load...why?), my shadows did not end up as deep as yours. all my measures are the same. is that the x and y offset? what should i do?

[@CreativeClaws]

Thanks Kevin0kura I think Your artboard size is big. So minimize your artboard size. My artboard size is 8x8inch, If you follow this size ratio then your artwork will be perfect.

[@designsbyhiroki]

thank you, that makes sense. i believe my artboard was 1080×1350pt

[@ivanmosiichuk6350]

Hi! Does anybody know how to add "thickness effect" for such kind of "paper layers"? Thanks.

[@adhamgaber462]

after you've done everything in the video, export the artwork as a png then move to photoshop create a new layer above the artwork, convert it to a smart object then apply filter called noise, adjust its settings until you're happy with the result. lastly reduce the opacity of the smart object layer and voila you're done.

[@Breathagainagain]

hi i have problem with drop shadow, when i select on drop shadow illus tell me "is not responding"

[@CreativeClaws]

Hi @ehsan asgari I think your File(Page size) is too big, reduce your page size than try to drop shadow. My file size is 6x6inch.

[@cn728]

Would it not be easier to just use the pen tool and draw one line outside of the other and so on?

[@normanmadeira4109]

Nice video, Brilliant work....!!! But I want to know how and from where did you get the fish outline...??? And if you have made it in Illustrator itself tell me how. Please tell me fast I am stuck there. Thank You.

[@normanmadeira4109]

Umberto Pezzini. This link is not working. It Says ERROR 404. LINK NOT FOUND...!!!

[@ksnf89]

remove the bracket at the very end of the link ")"

[@CreativeClaws]

Hi, I'm glad that my video is helpful to you. Regarding your query, I had previously drawn the fish outline. Whenever it was required I used it, like in minute 16:12 Keep following for more.

[@jackiegilbert4163]

Honestly, its pretty easy if you screenshot it on your computer and then trace it with the pen tool. I have a Mac so to screenshot it I used command+shift+4 and selected the area of the fish on the video. Hope that helps!

[@CreativeClaws]

Good answer.

[@petermarin]

to really sell the effect of depth, the shadow of the dolphins should fall differently depending on the layer it lands on. how would you achieve that?

[@sultan9619]

Good job, but you can do this with easy way

[@Icecoldnow705]

Thank You Very Much I Really Plan On Being An Upcoming Producer??

[@joubkiss4790]

googd

[@DRAGONBALL869]

you could have used the offset path tool easier andfaster i wonder what is the difference

[@pauliesalieri2568]

People are like "that is so fast" which i guess are joking but to these that arent, it's called the power of jumpcuts.

[@jaesamehrin2486]

Can u just zoom the buttons u click and color codes too that will be helpful for everyone one Thanks a lot

[@ligmadick3401]

Isn't it more practical to do this with blending modes?

[@curiousme7796]

extremely slow, feels like you wasn't sure before hand what you are about to do at every step, agreed with anthony steele for music and yes, totally agree with peter for shadow to fall differently on each layer, please respond

[@makranira1234]

The video was very nice but sir as you mention about the tutorial it was very hard to understand the tutorial... It was just like, that you were making a design for your own. It would be better if you mention the tools while drawing, it must be define to make the viewer understand ...

[@EroSof]

Туж чебер!

[@CreativeClaws]

I am not a master Софья Максимова ^ ^ I m learner. thanks for this :)

[@user-ys5vb4oo6i]

no vector (((

[@hasanhira-me]

Nice tutorial with creativity, but you need more practice as for how to expand your gradients, when need to use ctrl+y to view outline preview for joint paths or find your fish and also know about average options for the path to make your rectangle shape clean without clipping mask. Sorry for say these. Ok keep practicing and give us more creative work. Thanks

[@MrGylsen]

long winded way to do this! yes the video to the music too much, feels like am at play school

[@MrGylsen]

Sorry 😐 but thanks for the reply 🙏🏼

[@dudikoffski]

Honestly, I LOVE the artwork, but being that it's a tutorial, it's nearly impossible to follow along without prompts or narration. You don't offer instructions for anything. In the future perhaps you can offer some guidance in your videos.

[@HowtoGraphicDesign]

to be honest making a video with a good quality audio is alot harder than making a video without it, and most of the internet don't mind it these days, buy if you are having trouble, then I think you should follow some beginners tutorials first, to get your creative feet wet.

[@jackiepowers4350]

just some text captions would be a more helpful I think, to see what tool you are clicking better without having to go full screen

[@kristenfranks5825]

Something that would help when you do make captions would be to place the text near your cursor. My screen is large enough (poor me, right?) that I often can't see them both at the same, so I can either choose to watch what you're doing, or read the text, but it would be nice to be able to do both. I loved the video, very cool effect!!

[@CreativeClaws]

Thanks Kristen Franks, thanks for the support :)

[@khaledsaifullah3435]

Can you give me this source file? Thank you!

[@GK-ec5df]

Much prefer instructions via voice than music, which drove me nuts.

[@alittlebitcloser4377]

sad that the thumbnails for your other videos legit hide ALL your final result at the end of the video

[@shaneholdenbottle149]

the thumbnail and end result is not same though

[@CreativeClaws]

Sorry bro, but and result and thumbnail is same.

[@shadowkilla1093]

The music makes me aggressive

hahaha... this is good or bad for you.

[@Jay-wf3cd]

too difficult without explaination

What is this? a mime? Why can't you explain each step with words??
