  • čas přidán 15. 08. 2024
  • We’re going to explore the Offset Path function and the Shaper tool in Adobe Illustrator and see how they can help us quickly create all kinds of shapes, from the simple to the complex. It’s a great bit of fun and extremely helpful for all of us as we build our artwork and designs from basic shapes.
    🧠 The basic shape in this design was inspired by and stolen from this app: apps.apple.com...

      @theredmaster_superbee Před 2 lety

      please, can you help me? I have a question, can you follow a path with the illustrator blade and drag the tool with a freehand but follow the line drawn with vectors as if it were an automated path? It would be great... but I don't know if it's possible.

  • @happyfarang
    @happyfarang Před 2 lety +14

    regarding making CMYK black by giving everything 100% - don't do that. You end up with 400% color and it will dry very slow when printed. If you do any kind of commercial offset printing, stick with 40% for everything except K that you crank to 100. then you have 220% ink on the page. Still a lot but it dry fast and won't give errors and is still a true black.

  • @UzayrKader
    @UzayrKader Před 2 lety

    I missed you Nathaniel! Nice to see you getting back into the groove of things again :) I binged a tonne of your illustrator videos in mid 2020 and realised at some point "hang on, I know how to use this software now even though I've never opened it". I took the plunge and got Adobe Illustrator and it's been a great creative outlet for me. I can throw myself into a project and happily wipe out a Sunday just making something cool which is really refreshing since normally I write code and I've never really been an artsy person. I get sunlight and go outdoors don't worry! But I just want to say thanks for doin that you do!

    Hey, I just watched your Adobe Express tutorial/hype video and thought you were hilarious and your enthusiasm was great so I'm browsing your other videos to see what else you have that can help me. The beginning of this video is great; that intentional lean in to the goofy side made me smile. Great job!

    Helpful tip. There’s no need to make a black swatch with 100% CMYK values, it’s already in the swatch panel. It can easily be identified with the target on the swatch icon, and in printing terms is called registration. It is also a swatch that cannot be deleted from the swatch panel.

    Shape tool is one of my favourite shape builders. You instantly know how it works. But when use pathfinder I have to click nearly every button and it's never what I intended.

  • @aselrahc

  • @vickryfadillah
    @vickryfadillah Před 2 lety

    7:13 if the output is like that, I think this way is faster. So, A lil circle stroke > action and record and set the key > offset path > stop record > press the key you set up, so it does offset path > and expend the result because you need it as a fill not a stroke for shape builder tool

    • @alanxie3550
      @alanxie3550 Před 2 lety

      I would actually use the circle tool, click on the canvas, set it to let's say 100px radius, give it a 20px stroke, then make another one with 140px, 20px stroke, and repeat the process, select all of them, center both ways, and object-expand, then voila. and instead of the shaper tool, especially if you are not using a pad, the shape builder tool is much easier to use with a mouse in this situation

  • @dutch4motion662
    @dutch4motion662 Před 2 lety

    • @tutvid
      @tutvid  Před 2 lety +1

      Yeah, I was thinking there has got to be some kind of Astute, or other third-party extension to make that process easy and fast. Thanks for the tip!

    Hey Kevin, the only thing I’d change is to avoid a 400% total ink colour for black! I’d go with 100%black 60%cyan, 40% magenta & yellow to get a 240% total ink

    imo using the shape builder tool is way more usefull and easier to work with than having to divide using the pathfinder tool and then having to squiggle using the shaper tool. but good tutorial!
