A lot of other channels just make separate video to gain more view and make more money, but he's the only one that teach us the whole thing in one video or two. Thumbs up for you 👍

[@LearnitTraining]

I appreciate that!

[@gabrieladurand2251]

TNice tutorials is the channel that made start actually creating instead of being intimidated by the software. Thanks for a new form of therapy

[@MoreCreativeGFX]

The way you explain the use of the tools allows us to practice in real time and the truth is that it is not necessary to pause the video, I only do it when I have deep doubts.

[@LearnitTraining]

Thank you for your support More Creative GFX! It helps continue to make new videos each week!

[@Renasnove]

This is an actual tutorial! It explains everything and it is free of "cools", "so" and "mmms". By far the best tutorial I have seen. I appreciate that you take the time to go through things. AMAZING! Thank you

[@LearnitTraining]

You're welcome!

[@tofunmai]

OMG... This is the best tutorial ever, I learnt almost everything I know about Illustrator from you David Casuto. I'm so grateful for this.

[@LearnitTraining]

You're very welcome!

[@Schatzie301]

I’m just returning to Illustrator after not using it for many years. This was absolutely fantastic. By far the best I’ve ever watched. I realize there may have been some changes since this was published but the basics will be the same and I now feel confident that I can now tackle my projects with confidence. Thanks so much.

[@LearnitTraining]

You are very welcome!

[@Totallyfine29_]

I was intimidated by adobe illustrator and photoshop , but this guy sounds comforting and make it simpler to digest and apply , less stressful and more understandable , thank u ❤

[@LearnitTraining]

You're very welcome!

[@interactivepowerpoint4596]

I had the same feeling.

[@mijokolobaric6358]

This one is 100% legit, im not even a bot.. saved my life when i already finished editing. thumbs up!

Your instruction is beyond amazing. Thank you. I can follow along and understand. No quick tips and tricks, just learning! I appreciate you

You are so welcome!

[@ivy_inferno]

I learned illustrator with a tutorial in 2012 but didn't keep up with it since then. I was kinda frustrated that I forgot so many things about this software because I know it is amazing for drawings. I'm following a tutorial to draw kawaii images and I had 4 options... procreate, clip studio art, photoshop and illustrator. I thought I could give it a try again. Almost didn't click when I saw it was more than 3 hours... THANK GOD I CLICKED! I followed a lot of tutorials in my life and I have NEVER had one as great as this one! The explications are super clear, it's easy to learn, it gets to the point... WOW. This is amazing. I can't thank you enough!

[@LearnitTraining]

You are very welcome! We hope you learned a lot!

[@ivy_inferno]

@@LearnitTraining Oh I did! I didn't think it could be possible in a short period of time, I'm soooo happy :) Will definitively talk to people about your channel, and I will check for the photoshop tutorial too! I work with it every day but I know I have a lot of stuff to learn about :)

[@adrianengland4563]

I'm following this tutorial in Illustrator 2024. They've moved the Magic Wand tool. It's in the "advanced" tool bar. In Windows click Window>Toolbars>Advanced

[@LearnitTraining]

Yes there have been quite a few changes in all the adobe products. We are working on new updated videos coming soon!

Cool! thanks. It is also working with clipped images, just involves one more click to "edit content"

[@LearnitTraining]

Good to know!

[@blueswithesoul]

Grazie! Thank you so much, David, your classes are so great and extremely helpful! I was always discouraged from using Illustrator because of its apparent complexity but you break down each tool so well without overcomplicating things. The only thing I can't understand is how you did is the shape of the light reflection on the avocado pit (in the shape builder tool section). I can do the long curves but don't understand how you did the top and bottom smaller curves. In any case, I am grateful for your classes.

[@LearnitTraining]

You are very welcome!

[@TerryKovarik]

Excellent Beginners Look at AI - David you have a great speaking voice and teaching attitude. I created a pattern and used it to fill a shape. But it seems that the pattern filled the entire artboard and when I move the sharp around the artboard. the pattern changes as though the shape was a mask. How can I fill a shape with a patter and have it stick?

[@matijasevictomislav]

Thanks for video. How did you increased size of toolbars and fonts?

[@LearnitTraining]

To increase the size of the toolbar in Illustrator, you can do the following: Open Illustrator > Preferences > User Interface. Adjust the UI Scaling slider. Click on OK. Restart Illustrator as instructed. To resize panel icons so that you see only the icons (and not the labels), adjust the width of the dock until the text disappears. To display the icon text again, make the dock wider.To scale to a certain size, you can use the transform tool. Go to your top tool bar, navigate to Window > Transform. This will open the transform tool. With your artwork you want to scale selected, navigate to the transform pop-up toolbar you just opened. Make sure the “Constrain Width and Height Proportions” button is activated.

Hi there, thanks for the incredible tutorial. It has done me very well and I am feeling great with Illustrator despite being a complete beginner. Please help me with one of the exercise files. The pot plant and utilizing shape builder tool. I am struggling to split the pot in half to create the shadow effect, due to it's precise nature of being split exactly in half. I tried creating 2 copy + paste layers but can't get it to cut in half, I also looked at your Illustrator file resource but struggle to replicate. I can only replicate by doing it another way which I know isn't how its meant to be done (very tedious manual work). I have the same struggle with the leafs because same concept. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

[@Aqtp]

In comparison to the avocado, where the duplicate shape is going off it to create distinct and separate parts for me to shape build cut. Hope that makes sense. Thanks

[@Aqtp]

I just came up with idea of using Line Tool to draw directly down the middle, then using shape builder tool to cut out one half. I feel like a genius, but please let me know if this is the solution or how you do it! haha

2022 seems different than the version you are using. my workspace key is not in the top right. also I cannot figure out how to start with my image the same way you have yours in step one. a first step of how to get the image up to look like yours before going into tool modifications would have been super helpful. I know I'm not as tech savvy as I was 10 years ago, but super duper beginner steps so I can make sense of everything else feels much needed. thanks

[@LearnitTraining]

Hi Family Grown! Yes, updates do tend to happen at much faster pace these days so the exact placement of the commands may slightly be different.

[@familygrown]
