Description

I kept getting requests for an Illustrator tutorial, so here it is! This covers the basics of the program. Note that this focuses more on line-based styles, but you should be able to draw shape-based styles using the tips I list here.

There are four parts: Basics of the Basics; Pen, Pencil, Brush; Coloring; annnnd Prepping Linework Photoshop. Hopefully, this will help anyone having trouble with Illustrator!

Hello! Thank you for sharing this tutorial with all of us, and it's super helpful!

Anyway, I have a quick question. When you're using Photoshop (I use Adobe Photoshop CC 2014) and you stroke a path that you've created, how do you get the tapering at the end of the stroke to not fade out so much? For example, when I select "Stimulate Pressure", the line fades out so quickly, and then you can barely see the end. Is there a way to shorten the fade?
