[@neilsanders2341]

ORANGE!! Thanks a million, I’ve been teaching illustrator for years and just wanted a fresh look at someone else’s approach. Our approaches are very similar but you boil things down beautifully!

[@katieb5723]

Loved it! Looking forward to part 2! 🍊

[@Porygonclub]

What is different about this tutorial is the explanation of HOW illustrator work through analogies, very helpful! Thank you.

[@subhashbhoyar1233]

[@kendramanson2297]

No wayy! just subscribed a few days ago and was about to buy a whole course. Just getting the computer to run Illustrator hit my card so hard 😭😭 Thank you!!!

[@octonolite_0]

Thank you for doing this course and explaining everything so well. It's difficult to find near comprehensive beginner courses out there, let alone for free.

[@kotybakm2334]

Orange. Getting back into esign and seeing all the fantastic changes they've made in the last 5 years is wonderful. So much 'easier' to use and navigate. Ai has so many layers to discover and use. It's incredible software.

I just wanted to contend you for a very well taught class. You are very thorough and explain everything so that it is understood. I am currently enrolled to get my backorder in graphics and in the 3 courses I have taken I learned more that what they have taught. So keep up the good work and I will pass along your channel for other students that may have problems picking up in class. Thank you Romi soto

I wonder how it now compares to Affinity designer. Havent used illustrator for years but I do miss the better gradient tools.

[@Insanity_Insaan]

[@Thewanderingpenofficial]

Once I vector my line art can I then go in and edit it, like erase things and redraw certain lines?

[@cosminapv]

[@meghanrenfro1301]

orange! I'm a Designer getting back into Adobe. I have been using the Affinity by Serif suite for years and just getting a refresher as they are similar but different. Any other tips for someone switching back to Illustrator?

[@juliegilland8869]

Hello Will... I took graphic design back in 2010... And although I ended up dropping out before I finished, I maintained a 4.0gpa the whole year and a half that I was in graphic design... So I still have my MacBook Pro that I bought in 2010 for school, as well as the Adobe Master Suite 4 I believe... My question is can I still use that old laptop and my old Adobe illustrator and Photoshop to create logos and possibly start a graphic design business today in 2024? Or would that not work for what clients would need? 🍊

[@rebeccadoree3226]

2010 would be outdated and not able to receive any new updates from anything Adobe. My MacBook was 2013 and no more updates were available from Apple or Adobe.

[@umerkhan037]

Please mainly cover the tools, that are available in Ai 2017 to 2024. Because many of us don't have good device for running latest Adobe Illustrator version. The new AI tools maybe not available for all. Btw thank you so much for the part one. i love it ❤
