two thousand subscribers which is a huge
deal to me I put a lot of time and
effort into my videos and to know that
over 2,000 people want to watch them on
a regular basis is amazing I now
employed six times a week which can be
tough especially considering but I have
graphic design work aside from YouTube
so thanks again to all of my viewers and
subscribers I'll try my best to keep my
content solid and on point for you guys
to kick start things off today with five
things to remember hand lettering in
Illustrator with the Wacom tablet I'm
showing you the pressure setting in the
brush settings or Adobe Illustrator I do
have a pretty brief but all around good
look at Wacom tablet brush settings in
the past video so I'm going to link in
the description below you can check that
out after watching this video right here
I want to bring your attention to the
pressure settings in Illustrator if we
open up the rush settings window and
double-click the brush that we're using
you will find these settings open here
in the first category if we change the
settings to pressure and adjust them
like so the more pressure you apply with
our Wacom pen the more than nib will
retain
with the second option people to
pressure up how a stroke will go from
somewhat thin around depending on the
amount of pressure we apply
and the last setting which is the one I
use the most with little force used upon
your pen you would get a small stroke
but as you play more pressure the stroke
will increase in size utilizing these
settings can really help to boost the
quality of your hand lettering
when you have some hanilat or incomplete
illustrator you may very well be happy
with it however you can edit the style
and the shape and the size of your hand
lettering in detail outlining the stroke
to select all of your hand lettering
illustrator link up two objects Pat and
then outline stroke its way from the
door through a huge scope editing and
enhancing your hand lettering in
Illustrator after you've outlined the
stroke of your hand lettering an
illustrator you can see the direct
selection tool 88 the white arrow tool
and go in and edit your anchor points
changing the skull and the shape of your
hand lettering if there are way too many
anchor points that make it almost
impossible for you to edea properly to
load your hand lettering and then go to
object path and simplify
you shouldn't be afraid to use guides
when hand lettering illustrator the
Wacom tablet when people learn to write
in cursive style on paper they often use
lines across the page you can do the
same to keep everything neat and uniform
a command R or controller on a pc green
of the rulers and then drag them from
the top or from the left
my last thing to remember if I'm
lettering in illustrated with the Wacom
tablet is practice I do not consider
myself a great hand lettering designer
I'm simply okay like with anything in
life the more effort and time you put
into it the better you will become and
the more refined your skills are going
to be so maybe spend 30 minutes or so
every single day writing out letters or
words and draw inspiration from designs
online so let me know in the comment
