what is that people welcome back to Satori graphics so the home of graph
design content right here on YouTube today I'm gonna show you guys how to
make this really cool brushstroke typography in Adobe Illustrator I'm
gonna walk you through the steps and techniques and how to make this brush
back to typography in Adobe Illustrator using existing typefaces so follow along
and learn how to make this typography today
you
for today's tutorial on vector brushstroke typography in Illustrator I
rushed my design here as I do not have much time I self I'm simply making this
video today on showing you guys how to make a very inventive brushed out
typography using a daily list right there so as you can see on the left is a
work in progress and on the right is the original typography that is in fact my
custom-made typeface that is nearly finished and ready for download so stay
tuned for that guys they should be next week you will need some brushstroke
vectors which you can find with the link in description below on my digital
download section of my website or you can find similar ones online if you use
Google search I'm going to show you two key techniques to making vector press
typography using existing fonts so with the first technique grab a brush vector
like so and then press a for the direct selection tool and select and delete
parts of the brush stroke they do not want to have for your design we're going
to apply a vector mask to cut away part of the typography creating the illusion
of brush strokes you can make sure that all components of your brushstroke are
linked together as one vector shape by uniting everything together in the
Pathfinder window
once ready drag the brushstroke over to typography design and then resize I'm
positioning in place we're going to make a better brush now to wrap around the
design as we please so open up the brushes window with the
brushstroke selected go into the brushes window and in the top right click new
brush we're going to use an artistic brush for today's tutorial in
illustrator the default setting should be fine for your design you then notice
that the brush has been created you can then delete the brush stroke seeing as
we have an artistic brush created press P for the pen tool and then draw a line
that follows the contour of your typography like so use a stroke and not
a fill and then press V to select off of the pen tool path
then click and apply the artistic brush in the brush window and you see the
effect is applied to the line you can adjust the stroke weights to whatever
you feel looks best for your brushstroke typography designer this is where the
magic is going to take place in today's tutorial so with the letter that you
want to edit selected you need to open up the transparency window now you can
do this from the toolbar on the side or you can find in the drop-down window
above you will need to make a mask uncheck the clipping option and then
select the right-hand side window oops I forgot you need to also first copy the
brush stroke width command or ctrl C
then make sure you select the right-hand side of the window and press command or
ctrl V to paste it in place the brush stroke will now appear as cutting into
the typography however because we're using a mask you
do not actually delete the original typography itself and this is important
for non-destructive workflow and you can put up your typography design using this
method that is how you cut into the typography itself I'm going to show you
how to add to it next but first you can take your time to change the stroke
weight and use a direct selection tool to move the anchor points around of the
line and also the curvature it's important to use this method instead of
cutting the typography itself because if you want to come back at a later stage
you can change or even delete the areas that you don't want to use in a
transparency mask
you're not going to be able to work on the parts of your design until you come
back to transparency window and then click the left hand side window like so
so we've looked how to cut brushstroke effects into a typography design and
then wrap that around the contour the typography itself now we're going to
work towards adding a brushstrokes to the end of the lettering but if you're
enjoying today's tutorial let me know with a comment and I like so we need to
go back to the brush vectors and select one that has some weight behind it then
drag it onto your typography design resize it as we did before early in the
tutorial and then you can always press I for the eyedropper tool to sample the
same color as your typography
as we did before we're going to add the pen tool path so draw a line that
follows a table or curvy down to the end of the letter like so if your line is a
fill not a stroke you can press Shift + X to change open up the brush window
again and make a new artistic brush using the second brush vector that you
brought onto your design I did forget to mention that a brush stroke will work
best if you align it with this line here in the brush window
so when you've created the second artistic brush apply it to the line like
so you can delete the vector and then resize and arrange align with the effect
attached to it again using a direct selection tool you can move the anchor
points and change the curvature of this effect but you also will need to change
the typography itself so that it fits with the brush stroke you want to make
sure that it blends in together with harmony that looks like a realistic
brush stroke you can add multiple strokes on the same letter and take your
time to use both techniques I've showed you today in today's video of adding
vectors and also you're gonna transparency mask to cut in the
lettering itself in this way you can build up your vector
brushstroke double career design in today's video take your time unlike I've
done because I simply don't have the time today but I wanted to show you all
