[roback]

very interesting your technique:)

To expand a path, there is a keyboard shortcut?

known to expand in a fast .. without going into menus that blocks the flow of work

Thanx!

I made a video on how to do it some time ago. It is called "Tutorial on how to create sharp line endpoints in Adobe Illustrator"

[yutubeesunaputamier]

hello, i would be nice if you explain how to expand the strokes as you do! I can,t do the same, every time i try to expand the stroke a message appears and interrupt the workflow...

Thanks in advance!

[xROTTONRABBITx]

It can vary depending on how much detail I put into it. But just using the pen tool, it takes between a hour or hour and a half.

[bozmer1]

do you have n action trigger to expand your storkes the sharpen the edges?, I see in 7:38 that you get it so fast :C It takes me hours to get linework sharps

[brostomper]

whats the hot key to thicken or reduce the stroke weight?

[velequest]

FUCK I was expecting a tutorial possible....No DICE!

[Superman092491]

when youre coloring in with live paint or whatever how do you do shading? ive tried witht he brush tool but it gives me the "not allowed" sign....?

[botsog1177]

Hey dude. What's the tittle of the second and third song?

Anyways, Thank's for this impressive tutorial, finally my Special project was done by this tutorial guide. THANK YOU.

Hello there!

I really appreciate your work! Very nice! One question came to mind! When you do your stroke with the pen tool, you then go to the tip of the stroke and make it pointy. The video is so fast, I can`t tell what you do. Could you explain so I can do that?

Thank you much

[xROTTONRABBITx]

I expand it and then use the live paint tool.

[bigshiz27]

how d o you color it once you're done with the pentool? please reply. like this!

[sharkpunch53]

did you use a tablet??

[xROTTONRABBITx]

@sharkpunch53 no, I do have a cintiq, but i find it faster to use a mouse.

@xROTTONRABBITx hi sir. how long does it take when you use pen tool in inking?

[IamEyalMarcosLevit]

please man, the name of the song their all good! and ur inking is dope!

[xROTTONRABBITx]

Convert the strokes to outlines. Then you can use the select tool to move the handles or corner points.

[MoosGraffiti]

@xROTTONRABBITx my favorite technique you demonstrated.

[MoosGraffiti]

do you plan on becoming a graphic designer?

[xROTTONRABBITx]

Never really thought of it. I started all this for my own personal use for my own shirt brand. It is taking some time to get going, but it will get there.@MoosGraffiti

[sesshymaru]

NIce!! How do you change the thickness of the line??

[markserranopro]

SWAGG!!

[XPTwistedXP]

Dude, You should make an actually tutorial, i love the way you do this.

[xROTTONRABBITx]

@XPTwistedXP Just ordered a head mic. When I get it, I'll get a voice tutorial vid up..thanks for your support.

[golfclapp]

Heyo! Thanks for putting this up!

When you color though is it a problem that you haven't joined the lines? Or do you just color in Photoshop?

[xROTTONRABBITx]

@golfclapp The way I do this, I can convert it all to live paint and color it fine. I do most of my colorings in photoshop though. Since I am starting my own shirt line and printing them myself, it will be better to do the coloring in illustrator for the crisp lines.

[MoosGraffiti]

@golfclapp nah brother, doesnt matter. when you are doing character illustration like this, you dont use "fills" you turn the entire thing into a live paint group thing and fill in what you want how you many. this image isn't a simple path and fill.

[tubehelpr]

thats intense man! i wish i even knew the basics of illustrator.. i just got it and im very ecperienced in Photoshop, but as for Illustrator, i cant seem to get it right haha. i want to be able to do exactly what you did, with the outlineing of a picture you drew, and adjust the width of each line and what not, it looks very professional! nice video!

[xROTTONRABBITx]

@tubehelpr Thanks, after you play mess with it for awhile you'll catch on. I put these videos up, because I haven't seen anyone else work this way.
