wow. No lie. Most direct!

[@zer0b0t]

the pen tool always seems to go crazy at some point, for me it's always after a couple minutes of use

[@ForeverDansky]

Aha really? How do you mean crazy, what happens exactly?

[@zer0b0t]

@@ForeverDansky I mean it suddenly does a mess and I can't follow the lines, because It's a mix of curves and corners I guess, but sometimes just curves

[@shubhams1776]

@@zer0b0t I had same problem then I notice I was subconsciously press double click or hold click so all you need is Little more practice with awareness

[@RYVENANT]

Nice! Been asked to do a few logos lately, so I've been trying to learn Ai (I'm mostly in Ps and other raster graphics editors) and didn't understand the difference between the two selection tools until just now. My main goal is to get proficient with the pen tool, instead of relying on the curvature tool. This video helped in more ways than one!!

[@anwarhaq8701]

very nice you teach very good

Wow. Amazing. 🔥

[@valerievillasenor2440]

Needed this

[@RahulSharma-mo1kr]

Thank you so much for all the inspiration you provide in all of your videos and all the tutorials, specially for a newbie like me. I have figured out the gradient side of things in illustrator with the help of your videos, can I ask I started of using Inkscape and could get a watercolour background effect, which I could then use for a clipping mask. Can I do the same in Illustrator or do I need to use brushes or pre-made backgrounds? Could I also check if you could clear the confusion of whether I need to use CMYK or RGB for printing? Off to watch the rest of your illustrator videos. Thanks, Rahul.

[@Yarkaha]

I just learnt the pen tool like that paaap. The rest is history

[@Yarkaha]

Thank you @foreverDa

[@AerialLensVideo]

THIS IS GREAT - THANKS! BUT... I had to watch it 93 times to get it right for tracing around a curved onbject with SOME straight lines. Still can't seem to do that, so I'll watch again :-)

[@marieaustin9573]

Still can't create those handle bars to make curves it's really frustrating me, I am holding and shift, dragging and doing everything, but its still not working.

[@UltimateX8]

Those pink guides, how do you see them? When using pen tool?

[@ForeverDansky]

You can turn on "Smart Guides" by pressing Command/Ctrl + U 👍

[@danjones4978]

That’s very interesting thanks I’ll be rewatching this a few times 👍 What’s the meaning behind your t shirt?

Hey please tell me how to enable the auto suggestions option while using pen tool.

[@ArliyahAdventures]

Hello, may i know what that app using hand and pen to write . Thank you

[@mdsalam-uo9jl]

GREAT

[@madstork91]

Pretty sure this works in Affinity Design and Inkscape as well, which are superior vector program. Not really sure why people even still use Illustrator.

[@ForeverDansky]

Illustrator has more features than Affinity to my knowledge, and it plays nice with the other apps in the Adobe suite. So for someone like me, I can export from Illustrator to Photoshop, After Effects etc. very easily.

[@madstork91]

@@ForeverDansky Oh, I get it. You're an Apple user. Sorry. Yeah, after effects works great on a mac.

[@duck_entertainment]

How to add another line coming from a pre-existing point?

[@ForeverDansky]

Deselect everything, select Pen Tool, then click on the existing anchor point to continue drawing from it 👍

[@Markjay166]

I try to learn the pen tool but i dont know how to remove it and use another tool..

[@mercessouza6239]

My Illustrator doesn't show these handles on the pen tool, like in the heart example. How do I activate them?

why do i do exactly what you do but cant get the same result ?

[@farhathussain4534]

how do you fill color inside the shape created by the pen tool

Sir how to get round corner in rectangle?

[@howardsend6589]

Great

[@emeejay5430]

Lets say that you draw a line and then you want to keep a space (without dragging the same line) how would you do it? In photoshop CC ? Its like bubble gum streching when we draw a line it drags all along😢 someone help

[@sespider]

I've not needed to use Illustrator in over a year. Will someone PLEASE remind me how to rotate a anchor point?! I have a line that is thick at one end but it's stroke extrudes past another line. I don't want them joined. I just want that one point rotated so the stroke no longer extrudes past the other line. I know this can be done WITHOUT HANDLES, because I vividly remember doing it, just not how to do it.

[@timowthie]

You can use the puppet warp tool to rotate an ancor point

[@DevMarco-]

Do we count the time needed to restart after crashes? :D

[@gs_6384]

Teach Me sensai I need you

How do you activate the purple line?

[@ForeverDansky]

Go to Preferences/Settings for Illustrator, and in one of the tabs there’s options for the Pen Tool related to rubber-banding that you can enable to see the guides 👍

[@betokeysmail8944]

ops, found it. thanks btw :D

[@betokeysmail8944]

and how about the pink line guide?

Turn on Smart Guides with Cmd/Ctrl + U 👍

[@moisesmenezes8140]

If you are using photoshop it doesn't show apparently, only on Illustrator.
