I love how the tutorial dives right in and moves at a good speed. Thank you!

[@meaganthemarionette4899]

I'd never thought about using the lasso tool when working with gradient meshes, this is genius! I'll need to remember to use this technique in my artwork from now on if I ever use gradient meshes.

[@anubhapant5227]

I learn a lot of new things from this channel. It's an amazing tutorial. Please bring more tutorials on illustrator.

[@maureenmizener5318]

I LOVED this! It's exactly the kind design I've been hunting down a tutorial for. Thank you!

💙 OH MG Fantastic JOB DEAR 💙

[@Lowend3550]

I love the channel!!! You are amazing. I am extremely new to photoshop. I work in an engineering office and have been tasked with learning Photoshop. We have scans of large (24x36) engineering drawings and wiring diagrams and I would love some tips for working with these types of files. Most of them were hand-drawn and it is difficult because there is hand lettering on them. I would be more than happy to provide an example or two. Could you do a video, or at least point me to some tutorials for this type of Photoshop work?
