This video shows the exact process we use to design layered stencil sets, from selecting the right image, what tools to use in Photoshop, and how to create bridges (connection points) in Illustrator.

I know this tutorial is SUPER long - sorry! I wanted to make sure that I covered every single thing that I think about when creating these, so that if you're interested, you can create them in the same style, using all the exact same steps. Please skip through it and look at any specific chapters that are relevant to you! Table of contents is below.

Also, sorry about the one little clip where my voice is super high-pitched, I forgot to slow it back down when editing it. 😅
