Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 346 Hand-drawing custom-made letters in Illustrator, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…This week, I'm gonna show you how to create some…hand-drawn custom-made letters inside of Adobe Illustrator.…So the idea is that I want to create the words,…"Fire Up", for this piece of artwork right here.…I've already gone ahead and sketched the letters…in advance, using a pen, as you…can see here, and then I scanned it in.…And now what we're gonna do is we're gonna trace those…letters inside of Illustrator, and we're gonna do so…in a way that ensures that all of the letters…are nice and uniform so that they look like…they go together, the F, and the I, and the R…and the E, they're all compatible.…
They all look very consistent in other words,…in order to create this final effect right here.…Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…All right, here's the cleaned up sketch,…just so you have a chance to see it on screen.…We're currently looking at the sketch inside Photoshop,…but we want to place it into Illustrator, and here's how.…I'll go ahead and switch over to Illustrator,…
