    2. You'll see a window containing all your tools

I had totally given up on ever understanding Adobe Illustrator, when I decided to try one more tutorial, YOURS. Hallelujah! I actually followed along with no problem and completed the exercises happily. I am truly grateful and thankful to you for sharing your knowledge and creating a priceless and very much appreciated tutorial. May you be blessed with Joy, Good Health and Abundant Prosperity.

      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.

    Halfway through the course and am really impressed at how good Daniel is of a teacher. Not a fan yet of the pen tool, but I will keep working with it. As a newbie to illustrating, I really appreciate the simplicity yet depth of Daniel's teaching. Thank you for providing this free course/tutorial!

      started with this course 2 years ago and trust me, not only that this course is absolute gold but the pen tool is the best thing you can have as a designer. it's sometimes even faster than pencil tool and a drawing pad, if you've mastered it enough

    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. 👌🏻

    At first I really thought that illustrators are just for those who are inherently artistic. But I decided to give it a try through this tutorial and man, I can already imagine what stuff I can do from after finishing this course. This is probably the first online course that I finished because Dan made it all easier and it seems like he's having fun while teaching the course. Thanks a lot for this!!! I hope my path of becoming a designer doesn't just end here :]!!

    I've just watched this entire video in one sitting and even though new to Illustrator understood so much thanks to the clear guidance. Having applied a few of the points from the video to my first experimentations in Ai alone so much has stuck already and the power of the program is clear to see. I've now discovered you've already posted a 2024 beginners guide so that will be my next binge watch. Over the coming days I'll be 7+hours into your videos but won't regret a minute of the time at all. Great Video(s) thanks again!

    Dear Dan Scott,
    I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude for your incredible Adobe Illustrator for Beginners course on your CZcams channel Envato Tuts+. Completing this course today has been an absolute game-changer for me, and I cannot thank you enough for the valuable knowledge and skills you have shared.
    Your teaching style is truly exceptional. The way you break down complex concepts into easy-to-understand modules is remarkable. Each lesson was incredibly clear, concise, and accompanied by practical examples that helped solidify my understanding of AI. Your attention to detail and willingness to address common challenges and roadblocks made the learning experience even more enriching.
    I particularly enjoyed how you provided a comprehensive overview of the different tools, panels, and features of Adobe Illustrator, allowing me to explore its vast capabilities. From creating basic shapes and paths to mastering advanced techniques like gradients, layers, and typography, your course covered all the essential aspects and equipped me with a solid foundation to create stunning artwork.
    Furthermore, your course materials, including exercise files and project assignments, were invaluable in allowing me to apply what I learned and enhance my skills. The opportunity to practice alongside your guidance has been instrumental in building my confidence as an aspiring graphic designer.
    Beyond your expertise in Adobe Illustrator, I must mention your genuine enthusiasm and passion for teaching. Your dedication to supporting your students (I would say) and fostering a positive learning environment shines through in every video. You have created a community of aspiring designers who feel comfortable asking questions, seeking feedback, and sharing their progress, and that sense of belonging is truly inspiring.
    Dan, I am truly grateful to have discovered your CZcams channel Envato Tuts+ and had the privilege of learning from you. Your Adobe Illustrator for Beginners course has unlocked a world of creativity for me, and I am excited to continue exploring and honing my skills with your future tutorials.
    Thank you once again for your incredible contribution to the design community. Your dedication, expertise, and passion make a remarkable difference in the lives of aspiring designers like myself.
    Warmest regards,
    AB

Thanks for highlighting things that Illustrator does uniquely well, too. Awesome.
