    Thanks. I really needed to learn how to do this

  2. Childprodigy28 says:

    how do you keep the (profile) brush permanent on the stroke option, for use
    with out changing it every time?

  3. Antonia Holden says:

    Wow, this helped a lot! Thanks so much for this information! I will
    practice using the pen tool. That was one of the issues I had with it, not
    being able to change direction without the line doing something weird. I
    know how to fix it now! ^_^

    I’m not an artist, can’t draw or anything like that. However i’ve always
    been fascinated with how you guys do your artwork digitally. Makes me wish
    that I could draw because of my interest in the digital side of it.

    I found the web video off to the side a little helpfull for my adhd. ha
    which im sure a lot of artists have. I think if you taggled between it it
    would better. so like when you are actually showing us something on the
    illustrator screen, toggle it off. but when your just talking and
    explaining something a little more indepth toggle it on. so i guess when
    you naturally look at the camera, toggle it on. when you look away to your
    own computer screen to work, toggle it off. Thanks for the help!
