    Always love revisiting this channel for refamiliarizing myself with illustrator after a hiatus. The coloring portion came in clutch for a class as I was never formally introduced to the program. Been searching for a video that showcases it for a couple of hours with no luck. This is the first video that actually shows how to color your outlines that I have come across

    Wow. I've been using Illustrator for years but had never looked into the line width tool - thank you so much for showing this. I love your level of explanation of your workflow. Your style has reignited my inner illustrator. Subscribed.

    The color error you described is because, by default in CMYK mode, the "black" swatch isn't true black. To adjust, open up the CMYK color panel and pull the sliders all the way to the right. That'll make it go away and you'll be using true black instead of a tinted RGB black. Also, to change the settings in the default swatch, double click the color swatch and adjust the sliders there.
