Torn paper effects in illustrator

[@MissMillieEllie]

Thank you for the tutorial! It works really well! I tried making teared washi tape with pen tool before, but it didn't look good. It just was always too smooth and not organic enough. But this method worked really well, it's super SUPER easy and fast and... Really fun! For torn tape I make bunch of rectangles and after dividing them, flip them all (yes all, if you flip only half your tape will end up being longer than in the beginning). Then I mix them together so that every piece of tape will have different ends. Then just unite! I didn't keep the "paper look" this time, but will try that too on later projects :)

Oh and I just realized I didn't even use the roughness effect :D I started thinking why it was super easy, felt I was missing something. It might be because my subject is (paper) tape, not a big piece of paper. It's smaller and different texture...?

WHICH PSYCHOPATH USES ILLUSTRATOR IN LIGHT/WHITE MODE!?

Hey Saddesign. I couldn't agree more, the light interface gives me a headache if I use it longer than 20 mins. However, to be as inclusive as possible I set my black or often dark cursor against a light UI for my tutorials in an attempt to make it easier to spot. 😎
