    Over the past two weeks, I've spent about six hours with this video, watching, pausing, re-watching, walking away and grinding my teeth, doing breathing exercises and coming back to it. FINALLY last night, on maybe the sixth or seventh run-through, it CLICKED. I totally get the pen tool now and have made friends with it. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise :)

    This is by far the best beginner tutorial for the pen tool after browsing for weeks. It's so frustrating as a sketch artist to learn software and bring your drawing to life. I have so many sketched designs and logos I need to vector... there's no time like to present to learn.

    I honestly cannot hit that like button hard enough. I have been working in Illustrator for a few weeks now, took a course on Udemy, watched multiple videos and yet, in 6 minutes (I've paused this video to try out the downloadable page, and to now type this comment) you have completely demystified the pen tool for me!!! Sir, you are amazing. I am so pleased I stumbled across this video. I haven't seen your other content yet, however, I am subscribing. Thank you so much for this, it is an absolute game changer!
