Creating a splatter effect in Illustrator is SNOW trouble at all, let us show you how:

💥 Draw out the stroke you’d like the splatter to follow

💥 Ensure the path is the right color

💥 Open the AG Splatter Panel and click Apply AG Splatter

💥 In the Positioning dropdown, select Replace original

💥 In the Style drop, select Use original

💥 Mess around with the size, throw, spread and shape sliders

💥 Increase the density SLOWLY (Warning: it can go up to 99999.99% and that will take some processing power!)

💥 Change the profile of the Size splatter so that it starts big and then becomes smaller the further down the path it gets

💥 Draw out other paths with the splatter effect (make sure New Art has Basic Appearance is unselected in the Appearance panel)
Adjust the hue of vector art and embedded images inside Adobe Illustrator.

🎨 Instant color control — Curves, Levels, Hue/Sat & more, right inside Illustrator.

✨ Fully non-destructive — tweak everything without touching your original artwork.

🔵 Vector halftones — scalable dots, lines & custom shapes for bold graphic looks.

🖨️ Print-ready power — overprint fixes, ink control & pro prepress tools.

🔄 Photoshop-compatible presets — load/save adjustment settings across apps.

🎯 Smart selections — target spot colors, embedded images & objects with effects fast.
Adding vector halftones to text in Illustrator with Phantasm works on both expanded and live text. In this example we’re going to explain how to add it to live text, which you can always then drag into your Graphic Style panel to apply to other objects.

Vector halftone text effect in Illustrator:

Write out your text and open the Appearance Panel (Window > Appearance).
Change the fill to be a gradient of your choosing. The darker color will be the dots.
With the fill selected in the Appearance panel click the FX menu button at the bottom and navigate to Additional Effects: Phantasm > Halftone…
This will bring up the Phantasm dialog.
Change the Type: Sampled - this will use your gradient colors
Enable the Create Undercoat option and select it to be the same as your lighter color.
Enable the Clip to Object option.
Adjust the DPI settings - lower the number the larger the dots.
Change the Pattern if you’d rather it be alternating or radial halftones.
You can also use the Dot Gain graph to fine tune the scaling.
Click OK when you’re done.
Drag the text into the Graphic Styles window to save it.
As this is a live effect you can turn it off in the appearance panel, or expand it to be 100% vector (Object > Expand Appearance).
The intelligent trim and join option in DynamicSketch will auto-join paths at the crossing intersections. Continue to edit dynamic or static paths, and trim and join as you go, all in one easy to use tool. With more accuracy and fidelity than the native pencil tool, DynamicSketch gives you much more control over your drawing in Illustrator.
Roulette is a brand new feature from Astute Graphics that lets you create the beautiful, mathematical curves known as roulettes in Adobe Illustrator. You may have drawn similar designs yourself with a Spirograph toy.

Download the VectorScribe plugin

In Illustrator go to the Object menu and then click Create Roulette…

Use the dialog to choose the ratios, dimensions, radius, series repeats and rotation

Click OK to confirm your Roulette
We’ve introduced AG Array to the Astute Graphics Building Block Live Effects for Adobe Illustrator.

In this quick tip tutorial we are using the AG Array Live effect to create an array of circles.

🟢 Using the dialog window we can set the offset distance and number of repeats.
🟢 We can toggle on stagger and we can rearrange the stacking order.
🟢 Creating a stagger pattern with the native Transform live effect is not easy, but with AG Array it only takes a few clicks.
🟢 We can then use the Expand Appearance menu option to randomly recolour our artwork to create this simple mermaid scale effect.

CITRUS GOT REAL 👀

Achieving the perfect randomness in a design or illustration can be difficult and time consuming, that’s why Randomino’s perturb tool is a huge game changer and one of my favourites!

You can randomly distort vector shapes, paths, and text non-destructively with this live effect.

It’s perfect for producing hand-drawn styles and avoiding the rigid appearance of vectors.

I used to do everything the slow way until I started using Astute Graphics. They’ve got 20 plugins that snap straight into Adobe Illustrator and speed up every part of my workflow.s:

Some of my favourites:

Randomino → Instead of nudging shapes around one by one, I hit Randomino and generate dozens of pattern variations in seconds.

Reform Text → Drop text on a circle, hit Reform, justify, scale, align, done. Instant logo badges without the pen-tool headache.
