Speaking of the twirl tool, holding down the tilde key ~ when drawing shapes gives you some crazy paths that would take ages with radial repeat or manually❤

The pattern fills are also scaleable, rotateable and skewable without affecting the shape they are in by unclicking the "Transform Objects" box (as seen at 15:57).

also you can make a heart super easily by taking a corner with the end points at the same level and a round end cap, increasing the stroke until its heart shaped, and then outlining the stroke! if you want it to be rounder i like using effects (fish eye, pucker and bloat, etc)

These are great! You can apply a single gradient across separate objects by selecting gradient and dragging across the selected objects as well. You may know this already but thought I’d share.
@BlackDidThis10 ай бұрын
Pretty much all given techniques were far from new to me. BUT I have to especially credit that you HAVE put together a good set of "keep these in mind" tips that WILL speed up your workflow. There are many less experienced users that I am sure will benefit a LO and most possibly those that "DO KNOW (and use)" these will most possibly remain silent... Thus, I thought a feedback and gratitude would be in order to appreciate your selection of share. It was NOT a waste of my time in any ways. And for this: Thank you!

Love your videos and your style of teaching. Quick question: in order to keep the text editable can't we apply the gradient fill to a text through the Appearance Panel. This way the gradient will be spread across the entire word and the text will be editable. If we convert it to outlines we can't edit that anymore.

Are the different stages of variable fonts developed by typographers or are the fonts just altered „mecanically“ without paying attention to typographical rules?
@ForeverDansky10 ай бұрын
I think the intent with variable fonts is to tick all the best-practice-boxes from a typography perspective, and also work in a way that doesn’t require every possible suite of characters to be created manually, as that would be a lot of combinations! 😅

@ForeverDansky10 ай бұрын
If you make a collection of separate shapes a compound path, Illustrator will treat all of the individual shapes, as a single shape. That’s why in this example the gradient runs through all of the shapes as one 👍

@NovaNocturneArt9 ай бұрын
I have a bit of a niche question about Illustrator that I cannot find the answer to for the life of me. Perhaps you might have the answer? Is there some way to have the default "basic brush" (the plain line for outlines) to have the colorization settings "tints and shades" like one can do with a pattern brush option? I like to use tints and shades to create outlines that are the same color as the shape, with just a slightly darker tone that I don't have to manually set (utilizing a 75% gray for the base pattern brush). The problem with this is that in order to get this effect with a pattern brush is it creates astronomical numbers of points and makes everything run super slow. If I could duplicate the default "basic brush" and just use "tints and shades" it would solve my issue entirely, but I don't know if its possible.

A workaround for this is to use whole percentages (eg. 99%, 98%). The edges will look jagged and not great, but everything will run better performance-wise. Then once the design is done, change the values to something like 99.9% and increase the number of copies for more detail, and do this right at the end before exporting the final design 👍
