Curve Text In Illustrator

In this tutorial we'll be going over how to curve text in Illustrator. This is done by first creating a curved path using the Curvature Tool, then by using the Type On A Path Tool to place text on the path. Then from there you can change the text's properties as you would any other text object. If at any point you need to edit the curvature of the path then you can do so using the Direct Selection Tool. The video goes over all of this in detail.

Would love to see you make a diamond plated, carbon fiber pattern or a way to make a mesh bag. I always get crazy requests like when illustrating a product in Illustrator.

Hello. I'm trying to following this video but when I use the curvature tool is makes black shapes on my artboard rather than just the lines like yours. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for this very helpful video.
How could I make a text on a twisty path?
How can I delete one node on a path?

Does illustrator have an xray feature like inkscape that let's you know your text has been converted to a path
