Masking Text & Shapes With The Clipping Mask | Adobe Illustrator CC Tutorial for Beginners

[@GofelipeGraphicDesign]

finally! I kid you not-I have not figured out why my clipping make never worked in about more than a decade so I would find work arounds. I could never find the right way to explain the issue to do a proper google or KZbin search, all clipping mask tutorials never mentioned converting shapes into compound paths. I love you!

[@matthewwheat5954]

The compound path tip was a lifesaver! I think Illustrator used to do this automatically because suddenly my multiple shapes weren't working with the clipping mask.

[@thejoshuascott1]

I went through several tutorials and your was the only one that had all of the steps, so simple. Men do not describe things as well as women, I know this now:)

[@nudepreston]

This is the BEST in tutorials!!!! I had the same issue with text/outlines... and viewed other videos... but they didnt' address the Object > Compound Path > Path solution!!!! Thank YOU!

[@ivanchan6371]

Keep up the good works.You are explaining it so detail and i can follow and understand it so easy.This is what tutorial is.

[@mybestlifevegas]

Compound path was my problem - I probably tried 20 times to make it work with text and became so frustrated. Thank you so much for the wonderful calm and clear explanation of how to make a clipping mask with text!!!!!!!!!!!

[@momwheresmystuff4690]

same, no other tutorial I watched explained the compound path! thank you @roguepixel

[@albertocatania6165]

Thank you... From the guy that chatted with you on RB... Happy to see you are doing other videos on how to use illustrator... I hope you will do more :)

[@RoguePixel]

Hey Alberto! Yes, I'm definitely going to be focusing on more illustrator tutorials in the future! 🙌

[@albertocatania6165]

@@RoguePixel yessss... Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@lilandaexquisite9929]

you are the best even the novice will be able to follow your tutorial. Keep it up

How did you make that Waves circle design? I like that, and I want to try making something like it.

[@sisipray]

I just want to say this is very helpful, thank you for making this video!

[@aileenludovico6836]

Very nice tutorial So easy to understand

[@MDILVG]

Thank you for your video! How can I add a Stroke /outline to this compound text now?

[@DariaOrionova]

I watched 5 different tutorials on this, all doing the same thing, none of them working for me and I was about ready to throw my laptop out the window... Thanks for mentioning to turn the vector to compound path. 🙏

[@SpearChuckUngawa]

I love you for telling us to make a compound mask

[@Lollydoll20]

Thank you SO MUCH. Such a perfect explanation!

[@hichamahba3169]

The more u know the more u dont know 😅 i love that

[@RoguePixel]

Its true though, right!? 😂🤣

[@taimoorkhanvlogs]

thumbnail was amazing I thought you’re going to teach us that 😝

[@matchasource]

hello @roguepixel - how did you make the cloud shapes in your illustration? Do you have a tutorial on that? I looked, didn't see anything. Tried using polar grid tool, offset path, join and other methods. Nothing gave me the same stroke at difference scales, with a filled in graphic and stroke all around the cloud shape. Thanks in advance, Alissa

[@dawnkravagna3200]

Love your logo.

[@beebop395]

I'm always confused when I watch vids on the clipping mask in Illustrator. Why convert the text to outlines? I always keep it as text so I have an option to change the font later on or reuse for a different word/phrase.

[@RoguePixel]

Purely because the text needs to be a compound path for the mask to work 🙌👍

[@beebop395]

Not in my experience, works the same way

[@RoguePixel]

@@beebop395 woah, woah, woah. Ok, first thing tomorrow, I'll be testing this out myself. Standby...

[@beebop395]

Lol ok ok, will send you a vid if I have time

[@RoguePixel]

It works! Although I'll probably keep converting to outlines. Purely because it's better design practice to convert any text to outlines, especially when designing for print, but good to know! 👍

[@SaurabhGayali]

Great tutorial. just one update. It is no more required to convert text to outline. This way text remain editable within a group.

[@rickharold7884]

Cool. Love it thx

[@stevewyburn]

Fabulous, Martine. Thanks, very useful. A great personal refresher course. Keep ‘em coming! (Please ;-)

[@mohamedhafeel9806]

Can you tel how to overlap an image in abdoe illustrator.

[@ramaardhana81]

Please help me when I clipping mask instead it becomes an image and I can't release clipping mask. All of my edits are in vain because I can't turn back into objects

[@RoguePixel]

Can you explain what you mean when you say it 'becomes an image'?

[@ramaardhana81]

@@RoguePixel so I edited in eps format. When I clipping mask it becomes an image, not an object clipping mask. so I can't release clipping mask and make it an object before I do clipping mask

[@ramaardhana81]

@@RoguePixel the image I mean is that it immediately becomes the image file when I do the clipping mask

[@7300Marlo]

Every tutorial on KZbin is the easiest thing to do in illustrator. Can we do something complicated?

[@RoguePixel]

The basics are the most important aspect for any software, I help people master them first 👍

[@7300Marlo]

@@RoguePixel that’s fine but just like terrible teachers and professors you all always do the stupid easy stuff, and forget about that middle part, whether purposefully or whatever motivates those who are in a teaching position to do these things

[@7300Marlo]

@@RoguePixel here are the basics and when it comes to an exam, the exam is not about the basics. It’s about the complicated stuff the things we haven’t gone over in class wonder why our educational system is trash that start there

[@RoguePixel]

@@7300Marlo Their are thousands upon thousands of tutorials on KZbin, more often than not, you can find a lesson or process tutorial for what you're trying to achieve. I do it all the time, even now after using Adobe software for 20 years. You should try it, I guarantee you'll find what you're looking for

This video was helpful but insanely long lol
