- Texture masking is a great way to add a worn, aged look to your vector designs. In this tutorial I’ll be demonstrating how you can apply a distressed texture with Illustrator.
Adobe Illustrator is typically used for vector graphic design, but in some instances you can use raster images to enhance your vector creations. Texture masking is a great example of such, and in Illustrator we can use the opacity mask feature to accomplish this.
You can grab my bundle of free distressed textures here: logosbynick.com/15-free-grung...

Everyone else makes these opacity masks so complicated. With this tute, it just clicked! Finally! Thank you!
I have watched a lot videos and yours finally provided the instructions I need to distress my artwork. I also appreciate all the free textures. Thank you for talking slow enough, providing enough time to see what you were doing and how to get some of my tools viewable again. I'm a fan now!
I love how short and sweet this is no filler whatsoever. Thanks!
Can I just tell you how incredibly intuitive and easy this tutorial made it for me? I've been struggling with this FOREVER and most videos take 20mins just to get to the point where they OPEN illustrator. I love this. SUBSCRIBED!
IKR. I bought some plug in, and it STILL took 20 minutes, and the result wasn't half as easy to edit. SUBSCRIBED!
SO HELPFUL!!! I was struggling with figuring out how to do this for three days. You saved me! It was such a relief to find out how to do it. Thank you!!
Loving these so simple videos and tips! I have learnt more from your videos in one week than I did in 4 years. Thank you so much Nick!
IKR!
Your videos are the most straight forward, informative Illustrator content on CZcams. I watch, and then I do !! You explain like no other, and offer practical tools that dove tail into what I need at my shop. Thank you for taking the time to share such practical info with knuckle draggers like me !!
Thank you for doing this in 3 min and not ranting for 30 min 🙏
What most YT forget is that people watching these basic videos are novices who are also working under a deadline.
YEEESSSSS!!!! Finally, a tutorial that explains this clearly and in less than three minutes! I couldn't subscribe fast enough.
Agreed!!! Finally
you all probably dont give a damn but does anybody know a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly lost my login password. I would love any help you can give me!
@Phillip Derek instablaster :)
@Tucker Ezekiel i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Tucker Ezekiel It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out :D

Oml thank you so much for this tutorial. This is just what I needed for my character design project. For those of you a bit confused on going back to your original layers, just click the original image in the transparency box and it should take you back!
OMG I couldn't figure out how to get back to my original layers! Thank you for posting that!

finally a clear and concise tutorial on masking, this always seemed so simple but every other video makes it look like 4D space chess
yes thank you i second this . Maybe im just an idiot but ive always found masking unintuitive and have to come back and google it over and over.
I´m using CZcams for ages now, watching tons of tutorials every week and never commented before. But this tutorial really made me comment - many channels make it so complicated with photoshop and lots of steps - this one is just on point. LOVE IT! Thank you so much for saving me time and making my day! And even more: I appreciate that you don´t say: Please subscribe - Either you bring your A game and get the subscription or not.

illustrator is lot more simpler than those raster programs. Its very fast to make what u want to make and u can probably make more money faster using Illustrator than ai. Funnily those concept artist are paid less than ui/logo/etc artist lol. Since every artists be like i want to make concept art especially characters. So, there are way too many of them
Thank you so much for making this quick and easy tutorial!

Such a good quick and straightforward tutorial, I implemented the free textures thanks so much
Nick, this is so unbelievably helpful. Thank you so much! Ps for the guys who want the white negative space to be black or a different colour I have found duplicating the 'logo', changing the duplicated logo's colour and sending it to back worked best! If you can improve my process give me a hala! Thanks again nick, so awesome!
Great tutorial, super beginner friendly. Thanks for the free textures!

The video is pretty good. The only comment I would add is that when you select the black square and paste your mask onto it is like you are pasting it on a separate "opacity mask canvas". When I understood that, it made it easier for me to understand the overall mechanics behind the whole process.
