is there any way to get illustrator for free? i really can't afford another program right now; adobe wants to charge me another $40/month to add illustrator. i have inkscape which is a vector program. ultimately i don't get asked to do vector projects very often but i'd like to be able to have this credit on my resume.
Sir, I want to thank you, your design tutorials changed my life. I graduated with a degree in Petroleum Engineering, and believe me when I tell you that I never had any desire or interest in it. But switching my career to a Product designer gave me a purpose, It made me do what I always loved to do as a kid which is art design. Thank you again sir you inspire me. 🙏🏾♥️
I don't often leave comments on videos, but I had to on this one. I've been a hobbyist graphic designer for over 20 years mainly using a program called NeoPaint (ever heard of it?) and occasionally a very old version of Paint Shop Pro 7. Ancient stuff, I know. I've been using Photoshop for about two years now and just two weeks ago I decided to dive into Illustrator. That first day was overwhelming, despite my history in design. As mentioned, I have been using ancient programs, but I always found "my" way to do things, so jumping into something so modern felt like a lot. Thanks to tutorials like (and especially) yours I've actually become relatively proficient in my first two weeks, though I do forget things from time to time and need to look back at tutorials. So why am I writing this? Just wanted to pass along that I'm super impressed with the way you teach. Your methods offer frequent reminders of how to actually navigate around and do things without coming across as annoying or repetitive. That's a real talent and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it as someone who is very particular about the way they learn new skills.
I can't explain how thankful I am for you. Without over exaggerating, you explain things the best of all the people I watched on YT. I have a friend of mine who really needs a proper photoshop tutorial, so If you find it as something you'd do it would mean A LOT for many people. You're an amazing human being and I wish you all the best in life. Thank you!
Liked and followed for how great this is. I would say that the way you show us how to do things is like telling someone to open a door by grabbing the doorknob with their fingers, squeezing the knob, rotating their wrist clockwise then pulling open the door. That's exactly how I need to be taught and you've done a great job of it. Thank you so much!
I really recommend accessing the course with the resources and class projects to really practice those skills and put them into practice, you upload your work to your own dashboard. It takes time, it’s not a day or 5 day course, but it’s worth it and getting the certification to place on your cv is great too. Dan is a great trainer, I have tried other illustrator courses and this is the only one I stuck with!
This course really simplified everything and got me on a great start to understanding illustrator. I have never used this program, but now feel confident in the basics. Thank you.
I cannot believe the amount of skills that this has taught me. I have paid so much for online courses & this, by far, has taught me the most. Thank you so much.
Dan you are the beeeest!!! I am 17 and i am trying to learn this profession and all of the courses i took yours are always best THANK YOU for making this highest quality courses available for free!
I can't thank you enough for this very well-curated and presented course, Dan. You're the best teacher I have come across on UA-cam! If you're wondering whether to watch this video, just do it it's completely worth it
I’m from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 I wanted to learn design in Ai because i wanna create my own design and put it on Cloths. Thank you so much. I’ll start today. Much love.
Hello Dan! I’m a Vietnamese guy who rarely comments on UA-cam videos, but I just had to let you know-you are an amazing teacher! Thank you for your patience and dedication throughout the course. I’ve just finished your basics course and will definitely check out the advanced one next. For anyone considering taking this course, I highly recommend it. It’s incredibly helpful and, best of all, completely free!
Guys this is an INSANE tutorial I would definitely suggest this to people of every kind, no experience to pros, u will definitely learn something no matter how experienced u are.
I´m a 3D animator and videographer and although i studied graphic design a little bit, i always felt like i never quite understood the tools and the world of designers, i always had trouble with this part in my projects and also many client projects. But THIS is what i needed! GRACIAS! Greetings from Ecuador.
INCREDIBLE tutorial. Best one I've ever seen for such a complex program. You made this so much easier than any other tutorial I've seen on Adobe stuff. Another thing that I love about this is that there's no blaring music that is completely distracting and off-putting.
Dan, thankyou for the amazing illustrator and photoshop courses, both essential and advanced on udemy. I was struggling to learn and have the confidence. Those courses were all I needed.
Omg, I just spent the whole day watching the same tutorial from 4yrs ago, and absolutely loved it. Now I see this latest one, and I think want to do it all over again. That's how much I love this guys teaching style 😊
LAYERS. I'm a Fashion Designer and we use layers a lot when creating sewing patterns to separate each size: small, medium, large, etc. =) Really HELPFUL tutorials. Thank you!!!
Your teaching skills are like primary school teacher you teach in a simlpe way for more understanding of your followers i really appreciate your effort sir, i need your assistance my application don't have the new 3d and materials tools can you assist me with that please❤
Very few people can spend their time to help others just for nothing or a little payment.... Thanks buddy, subscribes and tapped the bell icon .... it's me from Tanzania 🇹🇿
I'm in the middle of the course and I'm really loving it. This is so fun to learn plus the way you teach is really awesome. Many thanks for this course!! 😊❤
Agreed, been loving it so far. Was messing around with illustrator without any help for few days now and while watching this course I am learning a lot!! :D
If another person has the same problem, then by definition it is not unique. With that said... this video is fantastic and full of incredible material. Thank you!!!
So for my project I did a picture of a cow. It took me 3 hours but for a first attempt it turned out pretty good. Thanks so much for making the projects to go away and do. I leant so much and just went back to the tutorial when I got stuck. The only thing that really got me was colouring. You are amazing. thanks
@@akahbethrand1563 I don't have it on Udemy, but with similar youtube > Udemy courses I have done in the past. Udemy courses are a lot more in-depth. For example a 1.5hr UA-cam course may be a 15hr Udemy course (this depends on the course obv.) I personally prefer courses on Udemy even though you have to pay for it, just check out the free lessons before you buy and see if you find value in it.
This is one of the best tutorials I have ever found on any subject! When you're really advanced at something it's not always easy to teach a complete beginner, but this was laid out and delivered perfectly. I've finished this video and am moving on the the advanced video. I really feel that I have absorbed all of the information and am confident in what I'm doing. Excellent job and thank you so much for all of your time and effort in making these videos!!!
This is so incredebly helpful. I easily learned how to use Indesign from your tutorial, now I'm confident I can master Illustrator too, even though it always seemed like it'd be really difficult. These new skills open up so many new opportunities for me and I got them FOR FREE just from watching a few tutorials. The fact that this professional, throrough and engaging content is free to watch on the internet (and more helpful than any of the related courses in my school) is beyond amazing. Thank you so much!
Long time CorelDraw user watching this tutorial for a new job I'm starting that uses Illustrator and Macs. >.< So far, the tutorial is excellent. I've learned some new tricks I haven't seen in CorelDraw. I'm about an hour in the tutorial but I'm already very pleased with the info. Thank you so much!!
Thank you for these lessons. you made me learn photoshop back in 2022, and now i am working as a graphic designer for a real estate company. My advice is learn photoshop first, then Adobe illustrator would be so much easy to learn since they are all much the same.
I believe it's a first for me where I find a video like this and goes "MAN! I've gotta buy this course RIGHT NOW!!" You're awesome!! I'm not even halfway trough the video and already learned SO SO MUCH!! Thank you for your generosity and wait for me in a few days as one of your students...
THIS GUY IS A LEGEND. WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW HELPFUL, BRILLIANT AND PROVACATIVE YOUR COURSE IS DEAR SIR. I DO NOT HAVE MUCH TO GIVE, BUT I SINCERILY WISH YOU THE BEST LIFE POSSIBLE!! once again... thank you, from the bottom of my heart!
As a Beginner this is something very useful and neat and clean presentation !!! Thank you so much , Hope i will become a good designer one day , That day i will come back to this video to thank you again for helping to get my base strong❤
Hey Dan, just wanted to say thank you so much for putting these videos together - it's helping me out HEAPS! I haven't touched AI in almost 20 years. I hope you're living your best life, take care! ♡

Hey Dan ! You are the best in teaching .I am a beginner for illustrator and your essential video made me to know the basics in the best way. Thank you Dan for making the video filled with fun learning . 😇
I'm incredibly grateful for your videos, they have proven to be immensely helpful, especially for someone like me who is just starting out in graphic design and currently delving into Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. Your content has been instrumental in my learning journey. God bless you!
Thank you so much for such an informative tutorial. You are 100% the best teacher and I've enjoyed the learning process immensely. Have put off so long learning Illustrator as didn't know where to start and now can't wait to keep going. Off to sign up for the essentials one.
Thank you Dan! This is a great video. Did you know there are a couple of sweet shortcuts to change the appearance of your fill to none? You can do this by simply pressing the ?/ key to the left of your right shift-button. Another great shortcut is switching selection between your fill and stroke by pressing X on the keyboard. Funfact: using shift-X will even alter the color of the stroke to fill and vice versa. These could be really handy! Keep up the good work 🙌

Man, you saved me of hundredsof bucks. I enjoyed your video, it was as if you were present with me and holding my hands through the video.

Thank you Dan! This is a great video. Did you know there are a couple of sweet shortcuts to change the appearance of your fill to none? You can do this by simply pressing the ?/ key to the left of your right shift-button. Another great shortcut is switching selection between your fill and stroke by pressing X on the keyboard. Funfact: using shift-X will even alter the color of the stroke to fill and vice versa.
These could be really handy! Keep up the good work 🙌
Super cool tutorial, long but worth it!
