Learn the Method to Create Impossible Letters in Adobe Illustrator

► More Tutorials: www.bit.ly/omo...
Hello world, In this video, I'll show you how to create an Impossible looking Illusionary 3D Letter using a simple method in Adobe Illustrator. To keep it understandable, I chose alphabet letter -
capital D.
If you wanna make another letter, then first try with D so you better get the idea how it actually can be done.
Here is the link to the reference image:

PS: Believe me, It WILL take a lot of thinking, but don't let it go. I scratched my head too, to make sense of the method.
► I hope you'll learn something out of it. :)

👍 if you are gonna make something cool.. I'd love to see that (if you don't mind) :D

[@vectorslategraphicdesigntu8991]

It's not a particular term for this method. it's just a figure of speech meant as there are number possibilities to use it differently.

[@vectorslategraphicdesigntu8991]

It's a broad question. Please head over to Facebook.com/VectorSlateTutorials We can discuss there.

[@احمدعبدالمنعم-ح5ت]

Very cool

[@denhamk]

it was going so well up until I had to switch to “draw inside” it doesn’t work on any of the shapes I have got. But when I create a rectangle separately the option is enabled again. When I click on the shapes of the D it gets disabled. Thanks for all these effects for the letter D 😉... I did your previous effect of the Fur and it came out ok... using it as my profile pic 🙃 now to try this.. thank you !!

[@vectorslategraphicdesigntu8991]

You will need to turn it On & Off every time you go for different shape. You can see "Dotted" corner around an object when Draw Inside mode is enabled for that object. That button isn't ON/OFF switch actually. It is Mode Cycle. I hope this could help you out.

[@denhamk]

Vector Slate | Graphic Design Tutorials thank you for replying... how do I turn it “ON” for new shapes? I get the dotted corners you mentioned when I draw a rectangle or an ellipse. But when I click on the clipped shapes inside the D I can’t click on that button. I’m using CS6 btw. Also CS6 has so many things different like “Smart guides” when though it is turned on doesn’t snap to the lines... and the “Shape Builder” tool only let’s me move either horizontally or Vertically I can’t move the tool like you did. 😖

[@denhamk]

Vector Slate | Graphic Design Tutorials ok I have figured it out. It so happens the draw inside works only for ungrouped elements. After using the shape builder tool my shapes were grouped (not all together but each individual shape was grouped) After ungrouping them I’m able to use the draw inside mode. 👍🏼👍🏼

la forma como usas los gradientes esta genial, hay tutoriales donde expliques esos gradientes?? gracias

[@vectorslategraphicdesigntu8991]

You're welcome :) I don't have any video on particularly Gradient tool. But Once you open Gradient panel by double clicking Gradient tool. You will learn everything yourself. Because it is very self explanatory. Try on Both: Path/Stroke & Fill Color. If you get any trouble in the process, please ask me out :)

Great tutorial! Anybody managed to make an 'S' with this? Would love to see it

[@SooFany]

Draw inside is not selectable for me. What am I doing wrong? Using Illustrator 2019 v23.0.1

[@vectorslategraphicdesigntu8991]

You are selecting Group object instead of a single shape. You can select individual child objects using Direct Selection Tool (key: A). Or by isolating/going inside a group by double clicking.
