Bitmap Textures Part 1: Using Bitmaps To Add Texture to Illustrations In Adobe Illustrator

preview_player
Показать описание
Intermediate / Advanced Level Content. In this video I explain the basics behind how I use Bitmaps created in Adobe Photoshop, to add texture to Illustrations in Adobe Illustrator. I very briefly explain how to convert a texture into a Bitmap using Adobe Photoshop, then how to import that bitmap texture into Illustrator. As always, this video presents principles you can apply in your own work, rather than a step by step tutorial of how to re-create one of my illustrations.

Great video. I followed the instructions and placed the bitmap created in PSD. However, Illustrator won't let me recolor the black brush stroke. You make it look easy. Is there a step I'm missing? If I try to image trace it, the background is included.

it's about time for #Adobe to upgrade the brush engine in illustrator. This kind of workflow always been there and that is not great and makes the file slow and heavy. It's time to make it easier for Ai users. Affinity did it. Adobe can too.

Do you convert your bitmaps into vectors? If you don’t, how you solve the quality problem?
