This was four years ago, but even today, this stands as one of the best tutorial you can find over the internet.

[@wildata33]

@@Im_SiVA Yes

[@T4C-347]

Right

[@badranmohamed5772]

​@@Im_SiVA Let me put this way; I learnt Illustrator to edit my figures for my PhD thesis. When I started, I had no idea what I was doing. Now, I am willing to literally pay this guy any amount of money he asks for because of the value he offers, all for free. Course is hands down one of the best, if not the best out there, and his teaching style is so damn good he helps you develop excellent habits that are transferable across programs. His explanation is coherent, fun, and clear, regardless of your background.

[@solgoodman420]

Ever heard of Art College?!? I study Art too and, yeah, we do not really learn so much technical stuff in class, but we learn to important stuff, means we learn how to come up with good project concepts. The realisation of the Project is important too, but it s usually enough to learn the basics of a Software in class and then ask your teacher for help and Tutorial recommendations, that Help you with special Things, you need for your project. Of course, I can understand, why people think, you can learn stuff like Software by yourself, but - how I said - learning the Software ist not the hard part, learning the Skill to create good art is what you go to College for.

He's GREAT! I've struggled trying to find how to do this and that because I don't want to be a designer just need to sometimes make something easy or edit a file.

i don't think anyone would be able to sit down and do it all at once.. if you're following the examples and going back and actually doing the exercises ANYONE would have trouble or prob not benefit from trying to swallow all the info at once. I don't have ADHD and i find it difficult to sit and learn something like this for more than an hour or two at a time with small breaks. It always amazes me that people who have been diagnosed w ADHD bring it into every learning scenario even if they're not actually showing any discernible difficulties different than anyone else doing the same task. It's not your ADHD bro it's just how people's brains work. I don't have ADHD and i've been doing the course bit by bit for like a week.

This class is incredible. After about an hour of going through the first few tools, I was able to start creating designs for work that the actual design department was impressed with. My only critique is that since it's been a few years, there are features that are pretty different and some of them took quite a bit of clicking around to find the new thing / workaround. Color themes is no longer available, for example, and I was able to figure something out, but it took about an hour of googling and clicking around to find the best solution. I regularly use photoshop and lightroom so I have a base and am familiar with how these apps are structured, but a true beginner might really struggle to figure it out.

I'm struggling with filling in the color of the penguin, like where he starts off with the sheriff's badge - when I fill in the pentagon, I then cant hover over and select the star, its like its hidden behind the fill and I have to move the pentagon to select it, and then once I make the star white, if I try to move it over top of the pentagon it just sits behind it obscured. I don't understand how this works without having them on separate layers? EDIT: nvm I found out that there's sublayers under layer 1 so I was able to switch those around!

Truly incredible that this course is free. I have worked in Photoshop for years and was struggling to pick up Illustrator, and now I have a solid grip on it. This course was very worthwhile and Dan is an incredible instructor in this medium. Thank you for the awesome content!

[@envatotuts]

[@isakg5303]

I greatly appreciate it. As I've been wanting to get more into graphic design, this course has been quite useful. This was the first lesson I've ever taken in Adobe Illustrator, and those three hours were really soothing. Dan, you're a fantastic instructor! Again, I'm grateful.

[@envatotuts]

Great to hear!

[@window.jane72]

Dan is an amazing instructor, I'm so thankful I found his courses!

[@laubeatrice9547]

Hey Dan! Definitely love how your way of approaching the goal and your communication skill! there are so many tutorial just a quick even bit show off which makes me even more overwhelmed and nervous when i am totally new to something. but the way you are is exactly what i hope since i was a kid, so practical, so down-to-earth, and yet very in-depth systematic of pure knowledge! shouts out to those patient short-cut moments!!!

[@laubeatrice9547]

ps i can see how you enjoy playing with the tool and you also impacted me to really enjoy the process of creation in illustrator, thanks :)))

[@ayomideadeyemi1449]

I feel like an expert after watching this. It's over 3 hours long but to me it was double that cos' of how engaged and practical I was. Thank you so much for this fun and detailed tutorial Dan 🙏🏼🔥

[@sarahfilep]

For someone who had never used Illustrator before, this was so amazingly helpful!

[@saiampranto]

[@tanvirthamid8380]

This was the best thing ever. FInished the whole thing along with the homework within 3 days. It was sooo amazing !

[@NgoziUkomaduPhummyporshe]

This was an amazing course. I feel like Dan is my physical tutor as I learned a lot from this. Thank you for the effort you put into all your courses. Your teaching method is superb.

[@envatotuts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@darthvader875]

WTF is that name? looks like a secret tribe

[@johnathonjones1597]

I was blown away by this course. Daniel has an incredible teaching style that simplifies concepts in a fun and easy way to understand. I was engaged for the entire course and couldn't wait to pick back up and resume. As a Adobe Illustrator newbie, I feel like I have the confidence and tools to start working on creative projects. Thank you, Daniel!

[@envatotuts]

Couldn't agree more!

[@dwZildj918]

Yes! I couldn't agree more. I watched a couple videos from someone else before watching this and there's no comparison. He explains every little detail whereas other people just fly right through assuming you know what they're talking about. Great job Daniel!

[@MichaelBallard0893]

I Have spent my entire day watching these videos. They are FANTASTIC! I start school in 2 weeks to go for a graphic design degree. Ive watched so many other videos of these adobe apps and have struggled to understand alot of whats going on, but you sir are a great teacher. Already watched the inDesign course as well as this one and i went into the inDesign course not even knowing what the software was used for. Now i feel like i could confidently go into it and create layouts. Great job sir, thank you for your contribution. 👌🏻

[@the_banshee]

You're defintely the best design tutor ever. I really wish you had one on AE, then the beginning of my motion design journey would be complete. Thanks a lot

[@RoipolloiAhoy02]

I've never ever worked on Ai platform before (or any other similar apps for that matter, except MS Paint LOL) but this has taught me a lot. I've broken it down to a two-day personal training so I don't get too much information at a time and have time for practicing as well before the next lesson. Now I have confidence to create some exciting stuff. Thank you so much!

[@chibimaster7819]

I have Adobe Illustrator 2021 and it took me 3 weeks to figure this out: if you're missing some tools like the arc and the twirl, etc there are 3 dots under the main toolbar. Click on them, then find the little menu button at the top right and choose advanced instead of basic. Incredible tutorial BTW 👏 💙 really easy to understand and follow! :D

[@christhuky8267]

THANKS

[@biakdik8572]

thanks bro

[@emmakaliza]

Brilliant course, even 3 years old! Came in with lots of familiarity with photoshop and inkscape and wanted a good overview of illustrator before wasting time playing around with finding my tools. This fit the bill perfectly! Thanks for highlighting things that Illustrator does uniquely well, too. Awesome.

[@envatotuts]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Surajarus1994]

An amazing tutorial.This is the best example of how a tutorial needs to be like. Simple, clean and to the point.... Thanks for comming up with this tutorial.

[@anthonylynch4179]

Hi Dan, I just finished your course! Thank you so much for explaining the basics in such an informative and entertaining way. Really appreciate your teaching style and the time you've put into it. All the best, Anthony

[@BeatsAndGuitars]

I went through this whole tutorial and I can’t express how amazingly well done it is. The pacing is perfect. He holds your hand through the entire process and yet there are times where you’ll have to explore because you can’t figure out a particular thing that was done:..A+. I would have gladly paid for this.

[@dominicmuma4081]

The best teacher i have ever come across. I do not need to add anything. Simply the best. For the past classes i have attended, you have no equal.
