[@AndyTellsThings]

Why did I talk so slow back here? :P

[@pascalakonk1755]

thank you its sososo good

[@dyodoleu]

no that is GOOD. if anyone needs faster they can just speed up but some videos are so fast or sped up at parts and not even slowing down will help

[@mrjuicejar_yvk]

I think you talked at the perfect speed. You went through each tip quickly so talking slowly creates a great balance.

[@martins9043]

I need some help with this stuff are you available

[@daigoropagano1717]

It's funny how I've found many of those functions over 12 years of experience by pure accident. But there are SO MANY functions in this software it's practically limitless lol you never stop learning

[@AndyTellsThings]

Very true! Same thing happened to me hehe :)

[@Mr.Beavis667]

Straight to the point and no long intros. Love your videos!

[@AndyTellsThings]

Thank you so much!

[@moviemellon]

It’s funny how some commands like ctrl+alt+v seem to be so second nature to me but then there are others that I have literally never heard of. Great vid!

[@AndyTellsThings]

Yeah, I believe we bring some second-nature behaviors from other places. Like, you write a lot and pasting without formatting is a very common thing in any Word-like program 😅

[@MOONsMEDICAL]

Highly recommended, scientific way of explanation.... Technically number one channel ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mohammedsadam8747]

i have been using illustrator for like 10 years, and this video really helped me with some things i didnt know

[@AndyTellsThings]

Glad to know! Thanks!

[@jackmansong5925]

Don't know why this gentleman's voice goes straight into my long term memory is it the pitch, speed, tone or accent....don't know but he's good

[@AndyTellsThings]

Hahahahahaha 😆

[@engrave505]

Andy, glad to watch your videos. They are really very good. Congratulations. Please think about teaching how we can explore Photoshop as a designer. I would love it. Thanks a lot.

[@MaPrintDesignTraining]

[@AndyTellsThings]

[@lastyhopper2792]

Thx Andy, these will certainly help me a lot: 1. Clean up documents 2. Paste text without formatting 3. Snap at mouse cursor 4. Editing holes 5. Customizing bevel on anchor points 6. etc. There are many things that I didn't know as a beginner.

[@laurelionothaliondor7308]

Hi, wonderfull tutorial, can I ask if you have some video about navigate into the Appearance pannel? I'm struggling with the effect that I try to apply, for exemple how hide the original shape without finalize the object and other stuff like that. Thank you again for your awesome video and sorry for my broken english

[@AndyTellsThings]

Hi! I have a few videos where I go over a few things on the Appearance Panel. Check this one out, I think it'll help a bit: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpa0oGmciZWhldE There's also a tutorial on Neumorphism where I go over a few things. And please don't apologize, your english is great. I'm not a native speaker as well, so I get the difficulty in explaining stuff, specially technical things like this :) You're speaking a second language and that is incredible!

[@nisakamal]

15 doesnt work....

[@AndyTellsThings]

Yes, it does. Either your pressing the wrong button, using the wrong tool or the results just aren't what you expect. But 15 still works. Just tested.
