[@YesImaDesigner]

Are you new to masking? So get ready I will breakdown the masking techniques and you can choose the one you like to use. Let's get masking!

[@clairess4845]

Thank you :) Are you able to please help me with this issue? It seems it's due to using clipping mask: forums.adobe.com/message/11117719#11117719

[@touch7256]

Thanks for these techniques

[@SpofitInternational]

why outline disapper after the clipping mask?? can you please tell me

[@ShinnyChanny]

I learned how to mask in less than 30 minutes compare to being in class for a whole two semester and still did not learn to mask properly. How amazing is that.

[@LeneChibi]

Same 😆 still struggling with some edge cases

[@madhuriverma8984]

Excellent clarity.....thanks for nice explanation

[@christymendoza123]

same!!! i was like was i so stupid to understand then or????

[@yhodkaow]

NAH BUT FR THOUGH

[@milansoni7206]

Undoubtedly, the best video on youtube for clipping masks. I have seen many videos and still, I had doubts but you cleared all doubts in this video thanks, brother.

[@madmed6672]

Dude! You're amazing! I can't buy your premium courses, but I watch all the ads in your videos to the end when they appear ❤️

[@hibhaven]

I am fairly new to illustrator and struggled to understand the masking concept. Extremely well explained here, thanks a ton.

[@orlamdc]

Excellent tutorial. At last, someone actually properly explains masks, especially opacity masks.

[@goczbela8469]

messze a legjobb tutorial a youtubon a témában. tökéletes, mint mindig! köszönöm!!!

[@jekalambert9412]

Thank you for sharing this valuable information. I found all of it helpful. 3 weeks into my introductory college Ai class, I wanted to mask off objects that extended beyond the edge of my artboard. I asked 4 assistants plus my instructor specifically about masking the edges. None of them was able to offer a solution other than slicing the objects to remove the parts that went beyond the artboard. (Nobody even seemed to know anything about using clipping masks in Ai.) I'm so happy you decided to include the part about masking the edges of the artboard with the rest of the info. Your explanations are very clear. Thanks again.

[@illustratornamedkasper]

the 'draw inside function 5:55 saved my day. FOREVER GRATEFUL!

[@venturessatya]

Yes, clip to artboard will be such a good feature. Presently we can only do it while exporting. I have fun the most while adding shadows through clipping mask. Thanks for the video.

[@keyoorjoshi18]

The best and the most complete tutorial on masking. Thank you

Wonderful explanations. Thank you so much!

[@TAP6583]

Thanks for this. I've been using illustrator since COVID started. I love it and even showed my work at a talent show. I'm also a teacher. I know good teaching when I see, hear and experience it. YES, you're doing a great job. I've watched only a couple of your lessons so I will decide later if I want to join.

[@thePaintedMoon]

Great information. I learned more about masking than I ever thought I would! I learn by doing and at first I thought because there were no practice files, it would be a detriment but i created my own files and got to practice my other Illustrator skills and that really helped. I'm a designer and have used Illustrator since Macromedia Freehand became extinct (I'm dating myself :) I'll certainly be rolling this instructor in the future

[@lisadmusic]

The best masking video I’ve watched so far!! Thank you so much 🎉❤

[@marcelvanlierop]

Fantastic tutorial. Really wel done. Thank you!

[@catecate23]

Easy and clear to follow! I am struggling myself with masks between shapes and lines path, can you help me to understand how do I scale the mask without have to re-adjust the stroke all the time?thank you very much

[@YesImaDesigner]

There is a setting in the Transform panel's drop-down menu for scaling strokes and effects.

[@barbarawulff157]

[@manuelmessner7908]

Always a pleasure watching your tutorials, thanks a lot! I have a question: i tried the "draw inside" mask. After having drawn inside and quitting the "draw inside" mode, if i want to get back to that mode afterwords it’s not possible anymore. Any idea why?

[@manuelmessner7908]

oh i just found out why: it only works if you select the form with the white arrow 🙂
