just purchased AI and your Beginner course on SkillShare was my first tutorial and this was my second, thank you!

[@T97FlawlessX]

I went abroad to teach English, but I had gotten my degree in Web Dev and Graphic Design so lots of things were forgotten. This has helped me get back into the groove of things, especially since we didn't have extensive mandatory practice in school.

[@cherishsmiles5573]

14:50 You already know this will be one of the best tutorials when you hear "I gotta go, but thats ok, imma do one more thing for you guys."

My dumb self didn't know the shape builder tool existed, so I have been cropping, cutting, masking and even creating shapes on my own. (Cause I never looked for tutorials on KZbin obviously. And thought that I could learn things on my own) Lol. You don't know how much time this has saved me. Thanks sir!

[@pixelandbracket]

My earlier flat design tutorials didn’t use it cuz I didn’t even know about it either! 100% would be one of the first things I’d teach anyone, it’s basically amazing haha

Your voice is so soothing it actually healed my headache. Also thanks for the great work!

[@chrismurrayplays]

First time really playing with Illustrator after a lifetime in Photoshop. Great wee tutorial. Always appreciate the keyboard shortcuts (even if they're disappointingly different to what I'm used to), and a neat way to learn the basics. Cheers.

[@nohabasiouny1090]

This is just AMAZING! Well, at the very beginning I didn't think I will be able to draw these beautiful pods by the end of the video but it turned out really working. It's easy when you explain it like that. And you know what's so smart about that tutorial is that you have used a bunch of commands and repeated them over and over again so we could no longer forget them. By the time I was doing that baby pod, I knew what to do and how to do it! Thanks. Really thanks from the bottom of my heart!

[@prachisaste7391]

sir you explain us in really easy way and also show the each command and their shortcut ..thank you

[@Becso91]

I'm totally new on this field and really appreciate your tutorial. It was easy to follow and your choice for the minimal potted plants is not just fun but very useful as you made me repeat the same exercises, thus it was a cakewalk to learn them. I think it's the first time that I subscribed so fast to a channel. Thank you and keep it up! Can't wait to check your other videos!
