I’ve been using Illustrator for over a decade and I still learned a few things here! Some of these tools were added after I originally learned the program and I just never took the time to learn them. Some of these will definitely speed up my vector art workflow, thanks!

[@ForeverDansky]

That's so great to hear, thanks Rachel 🙂

LOVE when you do the deep dive with tools like this… it explores those options you never know how to ask about

[@ForeverDansky]

Awesome, thanks Howie! Glad the video was helpful, and will try to do more like this 😃

[@Fluff-9]

For your pen tool trick, you can just use object>create outlines (ctrl+shift+o or cmd+shift+o on mac)

[@CMYKPrintSolution]

I think you dont understand what he is doing.

[@devanshi2193]

But if you do that, won’t that created the curves of the shape in fill? We need stroke for this to work right.

[@DoodlerSri]

That "create outline" trick will just make the whole letter a shape.If you want stroke,you have to do it manually and do replace spine to use some cool gradient blend.

[@anmatrades]

I started to love working in Illustrator thanks to you and Daniel. You two are the GOATs!

[@TheMaxy006]

Okay man, this is just another universe you have discovered to me rn!!! :D Thanks a lot

[@samiansari8872]

Bro you are amazing. You teach the those shortcut keys which no one know on KZbin.

[@ZoranImsiragic]

Very nice. Short and crisp. Elipse is a closed object and blend needs to have beginning and end. Your solution is good and slick.

[@pragmaticcreator]

Thanks for this concise and timely Adobe Illustrator tutorial. The gradient tool on Illustrator with "Blend" are essential in the success of an Illustrator. Thanks greatly, boss.

[@darkphoenix7284]

Hey Dansky, Could ya help me with this question ? *Does a smartphone pay role for graphic designing journey especially in beginning ? *Because I just wanted to buy a phone of around $194 (Mid-Range).This phone is balanced. *But SHOULD I buy it or should I save it for later (Middle Class Guy) & focus on learning. *Do I really need a smartphone because I had spend 1.5 years with Illustrator(first software).I wanted to learn stuffs like animate cc, photoshop, 2d animation, after effects, etc. *Does this learning process need a phone of $194.

[@Zarafa73]

Brilliant! thank you

[@ForeverDansky]

You're very welcome!

[@mikewickens2016]

Awesome video thanks dan , would love to see how you would make a watch index with illustrator.

[@ForeverDansky]

Cheers Mike! Aha could try and make a video on that 👍

[@HABXKD]

this is amazing!

[@designgraphique]

Excellent.

[@venomshyam44]

Instead of using pen tool we outline &expand it.. and apply the blend tool because we already have a handwritten font..if we we sketch it on note & draw this video is useful..

[@arnoldotoho]

When you outline and expand, you will still have a shape, more or less. I don't think the blend option works on shapes, only strokes.

[@azzpdg]

Fantastic video

[@techx4421]

Amazing. Curious to know how did you create those reveal effects!

[@alimahdavi5160]

Hello Dansky. Is there a way that we can use a single drag to a pull up bar that would allow us to go to the middle and top of the page within Adobe XD? Example: Apple Maps I’ve been having a super hard time figuring this out! If so, can you either explain, or make a video! Thanks man😁

[@aicha9295]

please can u tell me how i downlod this program of design.

[@saadschool8357]

good job ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@tareqisl4275]

thanks Brother

[@ForeverDansky]

You’re welcome 👊

[@lamouralice4533]

Thank you ❤

[@ForeverDansky]

You're welcome 😊

[@juryonthebeat]

aside from illustrator would you recommend a editor?

[@lydoudou]

brilliant

[@cardoma]

I've been struggling to figure out how to create an effect on a logo I'm working on and I noticed that you use the effect in your transitions in this video. It's like a "modern paint brush" effect, but I'm trying to do it on a curve. I believe it it would involve creating a brush in Illustrator. Any ideas? Thanks!

[@cardoma]

Maybe I could send you what I'm talking about and you could do a lesson on it? :)

[@malikahmadprince287]

Sir its request please make tutorials that how we can do in photoshop too please 🙏

[@Umbreon671M.C.]

Not sure if this is a dumb question, but does this same technique work with box-type fonts?

[@boronsongjob719]

Can you do this in Photoshop?

[@KingKong-xe1ux]

do you open course for learning adobe ilustrator Dan??

[@ForeverDansky]

I'm currently working on a course that's going to teach virtually everything I know about Adobe Illustrator, and will post a video to the channel with more info in the near future 🙂

[@InfoCodex]

Can we create this design in 3D?

[@BARATHICREATIVES]
