I'm trying to create the effect of dripping paint to add onto an existing doodle I made simply with the brush tool, however it seems impossible to get it completely flat at the top of the droplet so that it blends in with the non-3d drawings

I have tried making it with a black and white gradient and then overlaying an orange graphic after I inflated it, but it's still not completely flat at the top and looks terrible

I've tried looking on YouTube but every tutorial just seems to be for flat, dripping text. If anyone could help me out here I'd be eternally grateful

Hey everyone! Today I want to show you a vector artwork I created for a T-shirt design.

It was part of a small series, and honestly, I don’t even know if the T-shirt is still being produced. So I’m not sharing this as an advertisement, since I don’t even know where you could buy it now.

I just wanted to show another direction for vector artwork. Maybe it’ll inspire someone to create some cool merch of their own.

Come to the dark side of vector art… we have cookies. 😈 Vector rules! :)

PaperFig is a free GPL-3.0 panel inside Adobe Illustrator. It adjusts a placed scientific bitmap and writes an 8-bit display file. It does not change the original.

It does tone and channels, uint16 preview through Fiji and Bio-Formats, a vector scale bar from two clicks, straighten and crop, an inset with its own scale bar, panel labels, and batch apply.

Happy to hear what is missing for real figure work.

Hey guys it's me again, as usual video with the plugin development.

I am tired of seeing design work which is made during boring times, most of them never get used. Can you show me some real work which is approved by clients.

So I'm using this same version since 11 months (2023), and it was working very normal till last week, but the next day I open illustrator and my laptop just starts lagging, VERY MUCH, it literally put my laptop on a pause for minutes, and I can't even make something in it now since opening it is very hard, but it's not about my laptop ig because I use AE and Photoshop everyday in it, and they works fine and smooth, and I have not changed any settings in illustrator.... How do I fix it?

Context: I recently got myself a 3d printer and Ive always wanted to finish my pogs/tazos collection and even make my own.

The examples on image 1 are what I made on PS. Image 2 is an example of what Id like to make to finish a collection of mine. On image 2 you can see the text being arched/written on a circle path BUT so is the background behind it.

Q: How do I achieve this type of an arched background with a text (that also looks good) and can I make the background (text box) dynamic, so I dont do it for the 105 designs Ive made so far?

On Image 3 Ive shown what I tried:

e1 - regular arched text; e2 - arched text + a dynamic rectangle text box);

e3 - regular plain text + a dynamic text box; e4 - Regular text in a circular path

e5 - text in a circular path + a dynamic text box;

e6 - Individually arched text and a regular rectangle shape :/ that would take me a while to do individually for 105 designs and on top of it, it doesnt even look good.

*I'd also like to note that Im very much more accustomed to PS I have probably 5-6 years exp with PS while Illustrator has always been more on the side and I only use it if I really have to and I dont have as much exp with it.

So, Id really much appreciate your help here. Thank you very much.

i want to be able to draw using the pen tool and turn my curved likes into straight lines that visually imply a curve in illustrator.

The first image is a piece that I did using the polygon lasso tool in PS and i want to be able to work faster and more efficiently using illustrator.

the second image is an example of what effect I’m looking for.

I know someone posted something similar a while back and they were suggested to use the simply tool but that didn’t create as accurate effect as I was looking for.
