Paper Cut Out Effect | Adobe Illustrator Tutorial

[@shobitaseela5595]

It's a great work! But as I was trying it I am not getting the option of Posterize. What can be done?

[@nobudesign]

I found there were some people who had the same problem. there are two choices that you can possibly do. 1. Try doing it on an ordinary layer instead of a smart object layer like I did in the video, or 2. Give a posterize effect first, before giving a blur effect.

[@AshishKumar-mb9ic]

its available 2017 and above version, i think.

[@kennethschaijk8698]

U could update photoshop.

[@katephillips1342]

Sometimes filters are unavailable in certain modes. Be sure you're in RGB mode and not greyscale or CMYK (under image>mode)

[@MessiForever-q9l]

I too had the same problem simple solution - 1. Select eraser tool and click anywhere on layer, this wont erase anything 2. click ok in popup box Done!

[@robbalonzo4473]

Very clear and instructive video. I love that you actually zoom in so that the name of the tools are legible. A lot of tutorials I've seen don't and you have to try to figure out what they selected to get a certain result.

[@nobudesign]

Thanks Robb. 😁

[@DanielLopez-nm3tv]

First time i've seen something like this and i've got to say this was pretty genius. Love the topographical map feel to it. It also reminds me of those foam toys kids play with 10/10 for creativity, execution, ease, and a dope backfround song 👍

[@nobudesign]

Thank you Daniel. I know the topographic map effect in Photoshop from the Spoon Graphic Channel, maybe you know. He made a tutorial how to create contour map with photoshop and illustrator

[@Katerina_Alexandra]

FINALLY - This is something I've been looking for for ages. Thank you!

[@ONshowON]

Jesus! I made this in photoshop but by drawing all the shapes... this is way easier! Thanks for the knowledge! Such a valuable lesson!

[@pixel.viking]

thanks for this, didn't even think about clouds in photoshop.. I was usually drawing those shapes by myself, but this is way faster :D thanks you!

[@nobudesign]

U're welcome

[@matthewdavidking]

In the future I would recommend selecting all the artwork and using the 'Recolor Artwork' function, would be a little quicker at trading all the colors out, through I know you still need to select and group items.

[@nobudesign]

Thank you Matthew, it is very helpful if you want to change colors quickly

[@stevenvanhulle7242]

If you want tones of a single hue, like @ 09:30, you can do so already in Photoshop: 1. Add a color layer, and set blending mode to overlay, or 2. Add a Hue/Saturation layer, and check "Colorize".

[@japetpena5319]

This is very very helpful, and I thought it was that complicated. And kudos to the creator, there isn/t a single confusion of the instructions you made.

[@angelosa.3178]

Adding a little noise to it makes it more paper looking. Very good result, nice tut keep it up.

[@nobudesign]

Thank you Angelos.

Thank you

[@Vlow52]

Thanks for the detailed tutorial. One thing that would be great is to show shortcuts for the tools you are using, it saves a lot of time and helps to learn the adobe deeper

U're welcome and thank you Nick for your suggestions.

Great tutorial Good luck 👍

[@nilswolter3031]

Thank you for this! After setting the dropshadow, the clickbox of the foreground layer was very big and it was impossible to select the next layer below. If you have the same problem, you can fix this by adjusting the shadow x- & y- to a smaller amount.

[@tarjeibjerkedalene]

Great tutorial. Thanks.

[@oumae5705]

I really enjoyed

[@harryhong6540]

Whenever I use "drop shadow" effect near the edge, make sure the work size is slightly bigger than your intended final dimensions and crop them later. Look at the shadows near top and left edges. They don't seem natural. The contour lines look stopped at the border, rather than continuous beyond it. Think of the opposite of the residual shadows he trimmed on bottom and right border

[@nobudesign]

therefore at the end of the video I masking the artwork with the rectangle.

[@harryhong6540]

@@nobudesign yes. masking trimmed off excessive shadows at bottom and right borders. Zoom in and look at left and top borders at 9:16. Since thats where the planes are cut off, shadows toward bottom right start from there, leaving some gap between shadows and border. If the planes actually extended beyond the border and shadows cast from beyond, it wouldn't make the gap and therefore look more natural

[@nobudesign]

Nice Harry, Thank you for the advice. I really didn't realize it until I reopened the Ai file and understood what you meant. indeed it is good to make the size of artwork bigger than the desired size, so the shadow cut looks more natural. or it can also make the masking area a little smaller than the artwork, then just adjust the desired size.

[@brianevans4]

very well made video! I tried to make this effect by drawing the contours with pencil tool, but it took very long. Good idea to use clouds and posterise!!

[@TheCryptKeeper.]

I can't stop bumping my head! Good choice in music

[@macrumpton]

Cool effect! Could you have selected all and applied the drop shadow to everything at once? Also a voiceover or even captions would help explaining what you are doing even more.

[@nobudesign]

I think we can applied drow shadow at once, but you need arrange all layers first.

[@elyshiad.2902]

This is an amazing tutorial : ) How did you add the color themes to the top, mine just has it appear on a side panel or in the swatch tab?

[@nobudesign]

Actually the color themes on the top is five small rectangles, I screenshot the colors from adobe color then sampling with eyedroptool to the rectangles.

[@Maxim9575]

[@nobudesign]

Thanks bro.

[@samhuf6694]

Love the concept, great tutorial.

[@nobudesign]

Thanks.

[@marriammajeed1431]

Another solution for Posterize problem is: Apply the "Adjustment layer" from the layer panel (i.e. given at bottom of layer panel), not from the Image Tab. In this way, we can still be able to change the contour which is not possible if we use an ordinary/rasterize layer.

Minus the drop shadow, you can get cool quick colors if you make the initial forms in black and white and then use a color overlay layer =)

[@nobudesign]

Nice idea. 😁

[@pwhite102]

@@nobudesign I like methods with less control sometimes. Though I need to up my game because you get a much more decisive result

Fine

With this method its real fun to make an actual Topomap from. Instead of the "cloud" filter use a Hightmap image! All the other steps are the same. Here is a link to a Website where you can download the Hightmap from youre desired region you whant to map out. terrain.party/

Beautiful design! At 1:59, you show 5 color blocks at the top of Illustrator. How did you get those 5 color blocks to show at the top of the screen?

[@nobudesign]

You can download/screenshot color theme on adobe color or on coolor.co then drag your color theme into illustrator, create 5 rectangle and sampling colors one by one to the rectangle using eyedropper tool

[@crazifyit]

@@nobudesign ok. I got the theme into Illustrator, but my colors show up in the Color Themes tab and the Swatches tab. They don't show up at the very top. Is that a menu setting?

[@crazifyit]

@@nobudesign Wait. I think you meant that I have to manually create those rectangles! Lol...when I saw those, I was completely confused because I have never seen colors docked at the top on Illustrator like that! I thought there was some menu I missed that automatically took a Swatch or Color Theme and added them to the top.

[@nobudesign]

I made five squares above the artboard to make it easier when I sampled the color to the artwork. So it's not an automatic colors option for illustrators, but it's just a quick way to sample the colors I make.

[@crazifyit]

@@nobudesign Yes! Lol...I realized what you meant earlier and I had to laugh at myself because I was really looking HARD for that menu option that I thought was new! :-) Thank you for your response and help! This is a great tutorial!

[@ivanperez4585]

Great tutorial and easy to follow instructions! I've created an odd shaped object and now I am stuck with the outside drop shadows. How can I get rid of the outside drop shadows of an odd shaped object?

[@nobudesign]

You can use a clipping mask to cover the outside shadow, check 08:31

[@ivanperez4585]

@@nobudesign It took some time to get it done but I was able to duplicate the shape i was using (bird) and create the clipping mask. Thanks for the inspiration!

Which screen recorder?

[@amop3120]

Awesome! Thanks brother. Do you know how you would put this style into type? Not like a clipping mask, but the cloud texture in letters?

[@nobudesign]

You can use pathfinder (minus front) to cut the Paper cut out BG into your texts. but I prefer to make it like this using a clipping mask instagram.com/p/BlDGp0MnDcs/
