I searched tons of youtube videos and I noticed your every tutorial is awesome. much thanks. I have one very big issue with designing the issue is when I had a lot of designing work then my brain doesn't respond to any creativity. I mean my brain doesn't creative. please make a video on this matter or you can just write some tips. Thanks again.

[@GDHT]

That's a tough one - I think everyone experiences a form of that, though. I'll see what I can do! Thank you!

this tut perfectly pairs with the Pencil and Smooth Tool tut you did 😉

[@GDHT]

Thank you!!!

[@dianalebed2661]

I struggle to repeat tip 8, and I can't understand what am I doing wrong (ended up going the same way, but still, it's the new line). I've noticed you don't have asterisks symbol near the pencil tool when drawing (it's disappeared when you start to draw). I wonder may it be the issue?

[@GDHT]

It sounds like your tolerance might be too low. Double click on your pencil tool, an make sure "Close paths when ends are within'' is checked. Then change it to 15 pixels.

[@dianalebed2661]

​@@GDHT Thank you! "Close paths when ends are within'' was checked and it was 15 pixel. But I tried again and figured out that the path I was trying to change wasn't selected. Silly me, sorry

[@GDHT]

Ohhh I hadn't thought of that!! Glad you figured it out!
