I've been teaching and using illustrator for over 20 years and you just taught me something new, the document raster effect for shadows. Cheers 👍

Thanks again Dansky man, the trim view thing was a nice bonus to learn today. Keep them coming.

This is absolutely genius 👏 I had a sahara design on my mind and this will solve 90% of the job. Thank you sensei Dan.

I've begun illustrating children's books and am always looking for new and interesting background ideas. THIS video is a WINNER! Thanks, Dansky!

Or use the layers palette to select the background object. Or in your artwork, the background object was the only locked element. When you do an unlock all, it's already selected. Also the eyedropper tool is quicker than locating the object in the layers palette and option clicking and dragging.

I see what you did with the finger point 0.24. Nice touch!

Hey @Danksy Thanks for the video! Im curious... Do you (or anyone else in the comments) have any techniques for removing banding in illustrator? It would be nice if we could make these designs a little smoother. In Photoshop I just use 16bit color instead of 8 but that's not an option in illustrator

[ricardosalazar]

love your videos. thank you. what is that background? is it foam or har surface? plastic?

[tcb]

I love everything about your videos! You never cease to amaze me! One question—how can I turn your paper cutout design into a seamless repeat surface pattern design? I know that if anyone could help me with this "problem" it would be you! 😬 Thank you!!
