Josie Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 How would I create fancy or text like this using my iPad? I can’t figure this out I have tried everything from watching tutorials etc. ‘please help. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 The first one is easy. Type the text in a suitably bold font, convert to curves and ungroup, and then apply a new fill colour to each of the individual letters. Select all the nodes with the Node Tool, change them to ‘Smooth’ and move them around until they look the way you want, adding more nodes as necessary. If desired, add a few squiggles with the Pencil Tool. The second one is tricker. Come back when you’re happy with your result for the other one!

Alfred Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 It helps everyone (including you!) if you give your files meaningful names instead of leaving them as ‘Untitled’ but I can see that the two documents you’ve shared are different stages of the process. You seem to be on the right track. Do you still need help with this?

Alfred Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Drag between existing nodes with the Node Tool. Add extra nodes on either side of the drag if you want to make it more drippy.

Carl’s suggestion of adding rounded rectangles should work well. The tear shape is another possibility.

carl123 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Those drips look like tear drops. You can make them using the Tear Shape Tool like @Alfred mentioned previously Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Josie Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 How do I adjust the nodes to make it look like the drips and blend with the letters? I’ve tried on my iPad and have gotten overwhelmed because I can’t figure it out correctly by using either the rounded rectangle or the tear. A video would help if possible for the iPad. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 The iPad version of AD has a ‘Convert to Curves’ command, group/ungroup, Boolean operations and a Node Tool. Please tell us specifically what you’re having difficulty with.

You're not stretching anything. You make 3 shapes, fill them with the color, and then put three letters on top. jmwellborn and Alfred 2 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
