#adobe illustrator tutorial

Ok so,,,,

I’ve been desperately trying to get myself to do more vector art for the last idk how many years, and finally sat down and tried again yesterday.

AND HOOOO BOYYYYY did I forget how frustrated it makes me .^.

(It’s me being punched by illustrator and affinity)

Everything I make just looks so gd awful and I just feel like I’m probably doing everything in the most inefficient way possible (especially just Line art) :’-)

So, basically:

I would really appreciate some advice / tips on how best to use vector based illustration apps if anyone has any???

Genuinely anything, even the most basic “this is literally common sense but for some reason you might not have thought about this (because you sound dumb)” would be so helpful right now - I am getting so frustrated (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)

Any advice at all would be so hugely helpful and I will love you forever

(Honestly, thank you if you’ve even read this far - I’m going to stop rambling now)

Ta!

This tutorial for Adobe Illustrator goes over how to create sliced text using the pathfinder window. This effect is actually pretty darn easy to create once you know how to do it, and the end result can add quite a bit of visual flair to your typography project.

This video covers creating the line to cut your text with, using divide in the pathfinder window to cut the text, different methods for stylizing and working with your type, and how to fine tune the finishing touches.

I try not to skip over any of the major parts of creating this effect to hopefully make this Adobe Illustrator tutorial beginner friendly.
