In this tutorial we will learn how to create various vector textures using the Scribble effect, Scatter Brush, Graphic Styles palette and Appearance palette. Let’s get started!
Make a unique character design of a European Goldfinch with paint splatters and textures. The techniques used will be Live Trace, Pathfinder, Transparency, Distort, Warp and Clipping Masks. We’ll give this character a unique look and fun personality.
In the following video we will start with a blank Adobe Illustrator document and create some very nice distressed looking text. Of course this is in Illustrator so it is vector. Enjoy this one!
We will learn how to make some comic styled text in this video! You will learn how to break text down and add gradients, you will also learn how to create a fake 3D effect as well as some stroke options. All of these techniques will come together in the end as we create a comic book cover worthy logo.
We are using Illustrator CS3, although CS2 should work fine as well with this video, to create some metal text that is fully vector. We will apply various strokes, expand strokes, work with effects, groups, and gradients and more!
