How to Make a Stamp Effect in Adobe Illustrator | Adobe Creative Cloud

[michael.van.rooyen]

With the popularity of this style, please can Adobe just make this an effect?

[kaaaate]

major major key is to make sure that the art you are stylizing is nice and big. Mine was about 24in x 44in. If it's too tiny it will look ROUGH, and not in the way we're all going for (hah). I would also play around with the stamp settings to your liking. Prior to starting the whole process also go to effect > distort & transform > roughen to give the edges that rough/not smooth edge that there is on this art at the beginning of the tutorial.

One of the best tutorials I've seen. Love the bubble windows

Using Ai CC 2018… when I "Expand Appearance", it expands into a group of two objects: the Inner Glow and the Object. Just thought I'd share that since they didn't show that part in this video.

The grainy distort in the mezzanine menu comes out way too big. How do you effect the texture size? The stamp menu after has no bearing on the actual size. Unless I’m missing something.

[michaeldaw]

How come when I use the image trace all of the texture/grain completely disappears? Kind of negates the entire thing.

[amanda_medj]

That's so cool as always Adobe ;0

[elmedia]

This has issues with colour objects, when you add the mezzanine to red object for example it puts black and white dots in, then when you go to stamp it changes it to black and white, how do you do this to a red object please.

[funpathik]

Awasone style, vary easy to understand.thanks.

[nokiot]

The stamp effect also changes the fill color to black and white with no obvious way to effect it once changed. How do I change it back once the stamp texture is down?

[littlecreeps]

Two questions: What percentage of grey did you use here? How did you get the initial roughness in the lines. I tried this a bunch of times on Blob brush drawing and it seems to make a difference on how the final illustration comes out. What I am getting is coming out too clean on edges and too light or dark compared to your example.

[florentchif]

when aaplying the stamp effet, all the grainy mezzotint disappears, why? I follow step by step like in the video

[amanda_medj]

What do you think to make a program for recording the screen? :)

[Zhuchinaa]

This is a vector object, how it comes to be 'image traced' on 45 seconds?

[BelleLunaGoccia]

Great tutorial and format but.. GODDAMN WHY IS IT SO LONG WINDED

[Dr.Kananga]

Why not creating a filter rather than these tedious passages?

[shihabsjoi]

If it is vector, Image Trace will be greyed out.

And so when you follow step 9 and expand appearance it greys it out.

Rubbish

[dannyblessinger]

yep hat didnt work. I can't believe that this is the most expensive piece of software I'll ever own and it is clunky and difficult to use.
