today I make some grunge style hand
lettering in Adobe Illustrator using the
Wacom tablet
welcome back to satori graphics
hope everyone should be doing well today I
took the phrase no cares to design a
grunge style hand lettering design with my
wacom tablet and adobe illustrator so I
started off by using the pen tool or
should I say sorry the pen and the wacom
tablet the design hand lettering after
that I highlighted all of the lettering
on outline the stroke this turned the
lettering into a shape rather than a
stroke and then of course I went to
simplify each left there because there's
too many anchor points and to adjust the
style in the shape of the letters be
quite tricky so if you simplify the
shape it limits the amount of anchor
points you have then I took the pen tool
and I created these shapes here coming
up from the side of the lettering and
then i minus from the front using the
pathfinder create the kind of 3d
overlapping effect of the lettering i
love using this effect and i do it
pretty much every time I make hand
lettering these days so it's quite
effective so I think it looks cool
I've gone ahead a fast forwarded a bit
because it's quite tedious to watch me
just do the same thing over and over
again so I've gone ahead and only effect
on one of the relevant places on my hand
lettering I've taken an image from
pixabay comm links in the description
it's full of royalty free images and on
the first layer I've only left the red
channel open and in the second layer
I've gone ahead and left open the green
and the blue layer it is going to give a
3d effect if i move the layers one to
the left and one to the right it would
give that a 3d effect that when you put
on those 3d glasses you will pop out
now on the hand lettering layer which
are just imported from illustrator
photoshop i take the brush tool and i
have downloaded some brushes here that
are pink splatters there's a link in
description to a website where you can
download similar brush sets so if you
want to check that out you can find your
own brushes there I wanted to have a
really grunge kind of urban style to my
hand lettering in this in this video
now this is this is towards the end of
the design and I think I'm quite happy
with how it looks here quite a lot of
pink splatters and groaned effects going
on here now I wanted to have a tag line
of sorts that said when you're flying
high no cares when you're flying high so
I generated the text and I was going to
put like a.m. and a dark bar behind so
it stands out more I didn't want the
text to become lost and by the way just
in case you didn't know this is working
in photoshop I'm changing the the width
between each character on my text here
and I played around with different
formats there's one Melissa enlarged I'm
not sure if I like that so much here's
the text smaller with a block behind the
graffiti or the grunge style here is a
really white untrusted design but i
finally went with this one where it's
kind of it's kind of neat in a way and i
think it works really well so let me
know what you think about this grand
style design and be sure to tune in on
Sunday when I'm going to have three
tutorials in one video so be sure to
check that out until next time there's
only feature today peace
