This was four years ago, but even today, this stands as one of the best tutorial you can find over the internet.
Is this course still relevant since there are lot of new features,extensions and AI plugins nowadays...
@@Im_SiVA Yes
Someone give this king his crown. Such amazing and professional tutorial.
The only time I've liked a king& crown comment!
Just finished the course and it was amazing
Yes. Beautifully simplified. I was really struggling with these tools before watching this video. Thank you!
i want an after effect tutorial like this
👑🙌🏾
The value in this tutorial is insane! At first I was like “oh gosh, 3 hours”. But wow, the best use of 3 hours to get a really solid grasp on illustrator and I feel like I walked away with a real solid understand of a many key features!! This video is GOLD
Glad it helped!
the first 45 minutes are enough to get ANYONE started!! I'm so happy to have begun!
Yes It is emerald and ruby combined = DIAMOND GOLD :) 😀😀😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👍
so good
Dear Dan this tutorial has seriously changed my life these three hours that I will never get back have changed my life drastically PERIOD
I keep seeing videos like “Be able to draw anything in illustrator in only 7 minutes! Be an expert in Adobe illustrator in 45 seconds!” I don’t want that, I want to actually learn. So for that, thank you for such a high quality and detailed tutorial!
45 seconds? my potato takes 46 sec to open illustrator

For any one who cannot find the arc tool in their toolbar:
1. Click on the ellipse at the bottom of your toolbar
2. You'll see a window containing all your tools
3. You'll find the arc tool there
4. You can drag and drop it to your Shape tools collection for future use
Super helpful! I was able to find the Arc tool on my own but wasn't sure how to make it a tool I could use. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you kindly
Awesome, thank you!
Thank youuuuuu

You are the best illustrator teacher on the planet! I've watched sooo many tutorials for many weeks, only to feel as clueless and hopeless as when I'd begun, I just couldn't follow along. 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.
The same here ;)
You're awesome man. No gibberish and well thought out examples to get us to understand the tools and their use case. Many thanks!
Yeah True and I thought Adobe illustrator was hard like 👿 boss level but this made it so simple for a beginner and made this 👿into this 😄really awesome tutorial!!!!!!

thanks bro
nice
many thanks
What a legend
Thank you so much !
may god bless you another 100 years to live.
First of all, for those who are not finding the "Color Themes" on Adobe Illustrator, in 2021, the Adobe Color themes panel was disabled in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and After Effects. Secondly, I'd like to thank Dan for this amazing video. How can someone be so nice, patient and such an amazing teacher. Thank you so much.
I've been working on Photoshop alone for 10 years and thought that adobe illustrator would be easy, but everything was difficult even though the user interface is practically the same. This video has helped me a lot. Thank you brother!
Anyone else feels a bit warm and fuzzy with how happy and excited Mr. Scott appears to be about working and teaching Illustrator?
He just loves how that shape builder tool makes vector coloring easy.. and I'm definitely here for it.
Yes, it's kind of cute and part of the great learning experience - Dan's joy in teaching and using Illustrator ... :)
Got hired as a Graphic Designer for a custom apparel business with zero experience - this tutorial is what saved me. Learned more in 3 hours than my younger brother (a graphic design major) learned in 3 years. Thank you!
Find that hard to believe but I'm sure this Is a good tut though.
this gives me hope!!!
@@TK-pv4uq same happened to me twice XD first time i passed on the job, second time years later i made it work.
@@TK-pv4uq He definitely didn't unless his younger brother was asleep in every lesson haha
@@FrazzaJ2000 😂😃😂
I like how you explain each button / command / shortcut keys and their respective effects. (not throwing a lot of commands and asking us to follow blindly without thinking). Your video is really helpful and fruitful for AI Newbie ! Thank you for your detail teaching :DD
After one week of struggling with Illustrator, watching short tutorials, investing time into watching this workshop and following along with the exercises was way more beneficial! Thank you for making learning easy and fun!
I can't believe I didn't have to pay for this. I learned SO much, thank you!
Know why? Because all those ADS did. 😂😂😂
This man is a legend, teaching lots of things just in 3 hours and still responding to the comments to THIS day!
Thank you for your course, it helped lots of people! Good luck!
For anyone else who has Ai 2023: "On July 14, 2021, the Adobe Color themes panel was disabled in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and After Effects." Also big shout out to Dan for this free course! I am learning Ai as an intro course in person, and this tutorial has really helped me! It's so clear and easy to understand so Thank you Dan!
Your video is 3 years old!!! BUT...still so relevant and oh so very thorough! You are an amazing teacher. I have learned so much and look forward to practicing your tips and tricks as well as watching others you recommended. Great job and thank you for this fantastic introduction to AI.
Wow, thank you!
34 minutes in and my penguin is looking 🔥
I think I learned more in this one course than I did in several weeks in college. Thank you for this course!
same
Wait! You went to college to learn this??
seriously?? thats awesomee
who goes to college to learn this? Do a professional Course with 4 years of free time of 20 mins of adobe is enough to learn more than enough to learn to earn bread.
Ever heard of Art College?!?
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.
He's GREAT! I've struggled trying to find how to do this and that because I don't want to be a designer just need to sometimes make something easy or edit a file. I ended up frustrated, giving up must of time, and ready to throw my computer. I finally broke down and tood this whole course and it was worth it, even for my limited needs. Plus, he's awesome. I love his personality that comes out in the video.
I feel like an expert after watching this. It's over 3 hours long but to me it was double that cos' of how engaged and practical I was. Thank you so much for this fun and detailed tutorial Dan 🙏🏼🔥
This is one hundred percent the most professional and exhaustive tutorial I've found on this web, thank you so much for the amazing video!
Wish Dan was my college professor.
Literally started watching seriously 6 hrs back,able to do curvature,pen,shape builder and shapes and grouping.This is achieved in a single day,what my professor from 6 months couldn't help me achieve.
I've been looking for videos, pages, courses to pay for, EVERYTHING. I found this gem of a video. It's simply incredible. This is the type of teacher I love. You teach me slowly and like a child. It is my most comfortable way of learning. I LOVE IT! Thank you, really, you are helping me a lot with your videos to achieve my promotions business.
I was blown away by this course. Daniel has an incredible teaching style that simplifies concepts in a fun and easy way to understand. I was engaged for the entire course and couldn't wait to pick back up and resume. As a Adobe Illustrator newbie, I feel like I have the confidence and tools to start working on creative projects. Thank you, Daniel!
Couldn't agree more!
Yes! I couldn't agree more. I watched a couple videos from someone else before watching this and there's no comparison. He explains every little detail whereas other people just fly right through assuming you know what they're talking about. Great job Daniel!
Can’t believe this is for free, we are so lucky!! Thank you so much, really helpful

Hi what version he is using in this video
appreciated man
Will someone, please hire this Tech Wampus! He/she is an absolute life-saver 🙏
As a beginner to Adobe Illustrator, I think you did a fantastic job at introducing the tools necessary to create beautiful, creative and modern designs. Thank you.
I often can't even watch videos that are ten minutes long but when it comes to this man i never get bored even if the duration of the video is a century i will watch it second by second 👌
Awesome , great and so helpful.. Thank you for your effort ♡♡
Glad you enjoy it!
This legend didn't even monetize his video...i have nothing but the utmost respect for him, Thank You Sir
I'm actually ending this with a feeling that I'm gonna miss him like we are gonna miss friends and teachers in graduation.
Btw Thanks a lot
I am truly thankful for anyone who provides free courses and I understand that such tutorials are very helpful for many people. However, I think the best way to learn a new software is to make something using that software, like small projects, rather than trying to understand the whole software in one go.
Lots of man out there they knows llustrator good but the fact is you know how to teach. Thats why you are an instructer. You've an amazing personality. Love you so much sir. 🖤🖤
Didn't even feel like 3+ hours, that's how great this course was! Time flew by
I'm from Africa the resources we have is limited and most are very strict with the information they give. Your video is God sent to me thanks a lot. And I mean all your tutorial videos
I wanted to wait until I got all the way through to leave a comment. All I have to say is wow. I was very intimidated by Illustrator and finally just dove into it. I'm so grateful I found this course. Dan is one of the best teachers I've ever learned from and I feel like I learned so much in this course. Not to mention...he keeps it extremely fun!
I am incredibly grateful for your time and effort in helping me with my course. You went above and beyond.
he is the most humble teacher I've ever seen. I got emotional at the end of this video ❤
Oh dear, I LOVE THIS CHANNEL. Totally Recommended this to my friends.
I'll be there live (instructor/presenter) to answer any questions. - Dan.
probably one of the best videos available for beginners.
You are the best.
I am looking at how to create eye shapes draw eyes draw some diagrams for a manual i am creating
You are a awesome teacher, I will see you in the Photoshop for beginners video.
Cheers!
Hello Dan for some unknown reasons my properties panel is not opening and it is neither working please help me fix this issue
This course is to something not to missed for someone like me, a beginner who wants to start a graphic design career. To think that this is a free course for everyone. Sir, you are a heaven sent from above, you are truly a blessing to me and to some beginners as well out there. You made my life 10x easier in learning Illustrator. Thank you, Sir Daniel! God bless you.
Thank you bro. I knew a average amount about adobe illustrator but really wanted to know how I can use it and be productive with it. I knew that the “be a pro in adobe illustrator in less then 10 mins” were useless so when I saw your video I knew you were the one. After watching it, I would probably recommend this video to not only beginners but people like me who needed a refresh on illustrator. Thank you for your service 🙏 🙏 🙏
You know, when I looked to the duration of this tutorial I thought oh god this is too much and boring, but actually the minutes passed like seconds and enjoyed every single second of it.
Kudos to you!
Ya i'm also think like this first,but most nice lessons
Same with his PS course, never knew i could learn all that in a day 😅
Wow, I can't believe I just finished a 3.3-hour course on UA-cam! Thank you so much for this, Dan! I was looking around for a quick introductory tutorial on Illustrator as I'm one of the Creatives members of my uni org and I really learned a lot from this! Am looking forward to learning more about Photoshop by watching your other video in the future
Thank you! I designed my company logo, copied and pasted it in InDesign onto my coursebook, exported it and made it the official logo on my website. All thanks to you. I appreciate you so much!
Wow, you are so easy to understand and teach everything thoroughly. 💯 When I learned this in college the professor had very basic understanding of illustrator so he basically was learning along side us. 🤦🏼♀️😵💫Not to mention, you covered a lot of things that I didn’t learn until the second semester that would of made creating projects sooo much easier in the first. 👀🔥 Thank you for lesson. 🙏🏻🎯🔥
Thank you so much! This course was so helpful as I've been trying to get into Graphic Designing more. These 3 hours were so calming honestly, first course I've watched ever on Adobe Illustrator and it was great. You're an amazing teacher, Dan! Thank you again! :)
Are you some kind of a holy person or something? thank you for everything you've done.
Hi Dan, I just finished your course! Thank you so much for explaining the basics in such an informative and entertaining way. Really appreciate your teaching style and the time you've put into it. All the best, Anthony
This is the best Ai Tutorial on Internet! Pretty easy and straight forward!! THX!!!
That feeling when you've successfully completed the Penguin. This is happen to be my first time in graphics design, it took me 2 hours to complete it with lots of replay and mistake but I'm glad I did it. Thank you for the tutorial. On to the next one.
I love how there’s no catch from this vid. Total quality and learning values. This 3hr tutorial really hit different and I’m very thankful for that. Well done Envanto. 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Literally, the BEST beginner's guide to using Illustrator. I looked around at others but this one is pitched at the right level with amazing follow-along resources (free!). Dan also explains things really well in achievable bite sizes. This guy deserves a prize!
Wow, thanks!
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
Me at the 7-minute mark: "holy sh*t, maybe I can actually do this." Thank you SO MUCH FOR SHARING!
You can do it! Thanks for watching!
*Watch him do something in split seconds*
Me: Ha, that's ez. *Take 3 hours just to use line tool*
me too
Me: This illustrator seems so cool!
Computer: ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR NOT COMPATIBLE (sad me)
@@LimonluMentos try with an old version of illustrator
This guy and his tutorials are too much. His teaching style, voice, and transitions are AMAZING! Seriously man not a little bit flaw in these videos so professional and addicting 🧡🙌🏻
Thank you Dan. This is a masterpiece that will help generations.
This is a great course! I felt like I was in an actual class, and I learned a LOT. Thank you so much for making this for us!
can you help me with the link for exercise files
@@ibrahimbilnass2055 Hi, I don't know if you still need it but they are in the description bar under the video :))
I see many people are learning Illustrator in the past 4 months! I like Dan Scott's insightful tutorials. I graduated from a renowned College in the USA, paid crazy amount of money to learn about design but here I am where I actually am learning Illustrator. LOL
Hey, Dan, I want to thank you for the awesome class you've given to us. I've learned more in 30 minutes of watching your video, than I ever had with my designer friends. So, thank you!
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. 👌🏻
2hrs in and I've already learnt the key things I'll need to make my logo!
I've muddled with illustrator but always found it a bit more overwhelming after Photoshop. This video really breaks everything down so simply! Thanks a lot! Learnt so many tools and their setting !
This was an absolutley phenomenal class! Daniel is an amazing teacher, very engaging and impactful lessons. I kept watching until the awkward waving session at the end - that's how good it was.
Thanks for making this free!
Trust me guys, this guy is the the best design teacher you will ever find on youtube .
Thankyou so much Sir.
The way everything is laid out ...this is the best tutorial I've ever seen ❤❤
The best teacher i have ever come across. I do not need to add anything. Simply the best. For the past classes i have attended, you have no equal.
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 :]!!
Good luck!
Wow!!! this course was fantastic!! Dan's one of the best trainers Ive ever come across, absolute legend. Please do a part 2 (advanced illustrator course)
Hi I´m Gaston from Argentina. Even tough English is not my native language your prononciation is so perfect that I could learn from you everything I couldn´t from Spanish speakers. You are so great teaching. I had litteraly no Idea of Illustrator, only photoshop. I love How you cut straight to the point and you didn´t make me loose any second of my life. Every minute of your course is pure gold. Thank you very much
This is invaluable! I want through the Indesign and Illustrator courses in one weekend and I am so excited to start creating my own things. I work in a completely different field, but I love creating things. Thank you so much!
Dan is an amazing instructor, I'm so thankful I found his courses!
BEST. TUTORIAL. EVER!!!
I can’t thank you enough for upload this tutorial video. Your video teaches me like everything I need, answer every questions that I have in my head and IT’S FREE.
You even explain how Alt+tab works lol which is not even related to Illustrator but it shows how much you care. Again thank you a lot bro. 🙏🏻❤️
oh my allah i really love the internet world and people who do help like you thankyou so much legend we learned so much !!!!
Truly incredible that this course is free. I have worked in Photoshop for years and was struggling to pick up Illustrator, and now I have a solid grip on it. This course was very worthwhile and Dan is an incredible instructor in this medium. Thank you for the awesome content!
You're very welcome!
Dan, you're the best teacher I've ever seen online! Thank you so much for these courses!
Can you suggest from where to download adobe illustrator
@@AyushSingh-vs4xn A free trial is available on Adobe's website.
The most amazing thing about these proffessional tutorials is that you can learn in 1 month more than people learn in graphic design colleges and other schools in 3-4 years.
Yeeeesss😭 I am graduating soon and need to learn illustrator dispite taking a full class. I cant wait to learn from this.
but if you wanna get a degree certificate u should learn for 3-4 years
Utmost respect for you! This course is over Udemy for so many dollars and still he posted over UA-cam.. thank you ❤
I've watched countless tutorials on a variety of subjects and this is one of the best UA-cam educators I've ever seen. Kudos, and thank you for making great content!
This course makes me feel like a professional. Not gonna lie. Thanks for this video✊🏾
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!
Hey Dan! Definitely love how your way of approaching the goal and your communication skill! there are so many tutorial just a quick even bit show off which makes me even more overwhelmed and nervous when i am totally new to something. but the way you are is exactly what i hope since i was a kid, so practical, so down-to-earth, and yet very in-depth systematic of pure knowledge! shouts out to those patient short-cut moments!!!
ps i can see how you enjoy playing with the tool and you also impacted me to really enjoy the process of creation in illustrator, thanks :)))
Just finished this, did not take long but learned A LOT, Dan you kept my attention and that is a technique on its own, great video man.
I've gone three of your classes. i'm pretty exited to learn illustrator here...thanks a lot daniel. You are a very good teacher and excellent tutorial. I'm happy :D
Im an hour in and learned more off this than other video, the way that is explained and the way it has activities step by step to keep me engaged and active, it helps to have templates and work on the same thing. Amazing, this guys the plug!!!
Thank you! So many tutorials are just follow step by step to make exactly what I made, I don’t want that, I want to learn the tools to make what I need to make on my own! You’re a blessing :)
I haven't used Illustrator in years. This was a great refresher! I feel I have learned more in the past three hours than I learned in the three years I was in art school. Thank you so much!!
Thanks a lot, Dan. You are literally imparting 15 years of knowledge and we can't appreciate it enough.
Thank you for this amazing video. I'm a student who is interested in a career in graphics and this video definitely helped to kickstart my journey 😃
Glad it was helpful!
In roughly 3 hours, this course has taught me the summation of what I learned with 3 months of college. Insanely helpful, thank you!
Glad it helped!
phenomenal teaching. this is one of the best courses i have ever seen for any software, hands down.
An amazing course, been so helpful! Love the teaching style, will definitely be looking to continue learning through this channel and Dan!
i have a school project in like 10h and here i am now xD
tho its rly simple and easy to learn one of the best vods i have ever seen
You are a very nice person and the way you tell us about Illustrator is very comforting! Thank you! Have a nice day!

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 UA-cam 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 UA-cam 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
