When with click "make clipping mask" after creating a custom shape, it crops it perfectly how described, but i still have the white canvas n the background. How to make the background nothing? (like at the end of the video when its only your face and just the negative grey behind it wiht no canvas space

[eminescinescu]

Hi. What Illustrator Workspace do we need to use to see "Quick Actions" that includes "Crop Image". OR which dropdown link from the top Window link can I click on to bring up the "Crop" feature. Thanks!

I followed step by step and when I press make clipping mask I get "Can't make clipping mask. Selection must be more than one object"

Your videos are awesome but those over-sharpened thumbnails make me want to unsubscribe.
