Adobe Illustrator beginner here. I'm here to document my creative learning process and the different skills I'm picking up with each week and project while using Illustrator. Last week, I really wanted to learn how to create Bubble Text using Arabic letter. I first had to learn how to fix Arabic Text using this video:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbtgQ5…

I had to go to Edit->Preferences->Type->Check Show Indic Options->OK
Go to Paragraph in the Control Panel, Left Click and Select Middle Eastern and South Asian Single Line Composer

That was the first layer, I then locked it, added a second layer, and used it to trace the bubble letters. I know there are a couple different ways, but I chose this method shown from this video:

I used the Paintbrush tool and when I double-clicked it, I made the fidelity smooth. I traced over the Arabic writing in one stroke which was really hard, because I find the Pencil tool and anchor points still a little confusing. Then I swapped it from Stroke to Fill and colored it Lavender. I then went to 3D and Materials and clicked Inflate. I then took Perspective all the way to 100 and activated Ray Tracing and VOILA.
