      Hi Robert, Thanks. All vector programmes come across as massively complicated to me. Maybe I should look at doing a complete introduction to Vector drawing

    Thank you for producing this vector tutorial, I really struggle with the pesky pen tool and find it counterintuitive for some one used to a handling a real or Apple Pencil in a Raster (pixel) app. So I will give the tracing some practice. The second method does look easier. When nesting one shape within another I find it easier to think of it as similar to applying a clipping mask in Procreate. Loved the look of your little speed drawn tractor it actually was probably not so speedy I suspect. for the actual outlines did you stick to the pen tool or use it in combination with the shape and draw tools? Good job Steve.

      Hi Patricia, Thanks. I think the second method is easier for simple shapes, but with a bit of practice the first method will probably be quicker for complex shapes. You are right about the quick drawing at the end of the video, it wasn't so quick. I pretty much used the pen tool for the whole of the drawing. I tried the drawing tool a couple of times but gave up on it because I really wanted to illustrate the use of the pen tool

      @SteveElliottArt  Před 3 lety

      Hi Cats, yes this app supports layers and you can make a solid background. By weld do you mean combine two shapes into one? If so yes. If it helps I have created files that I have sent to a sign maker to cut out and print stickers, lettering etc
