I agree it you are very knowledgeable..however..with the beginner just as myself I would like to suggest if I may to do another video but talk slower so we could be more receptive to your your broad knowledge. I have to keep rewinding and pausing.
Wow you explained it so well! A lot of other people forget that we are beginners (even tho they put "for beginners" in their title) and they don't mention how for example make the picture bigger or smaller. And i'm out here confused like how tf did you do that, but you explained everything in details. Thankyou!
THIS IS THE ONLY INFORMATION I'VE EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT ILLUSTRATOR EVER. WHY HAS NO ONE TOLD ME THIS IN ANY OF MY GRAPHIC DESIGN CLASSES. I'VE BEEN MESSING AROUND WITH ILLUSTRATOR ON MY OWN FOR LIKE A DECADE NOW, AND IN THAT AMOUNT OF TIME I'VE LEARNED INFORMATION EQUAL TO MAYBE A THIRD OF WHAT'S IN THIS VIDEO. I'M ONLY 17 MINUTES IN, AND I'M LEARNING A NEW KEYBOARD SHORTCUT, OR WAY TO USE THIS TOOL, OR EVEN JUST A BASIC ILLUSTRATOR FUNCTION WITH EVERY SINGLE STEP YOU'RE SHOWING. I'M ABOUT TO MAKE ALL THE DIGITAL ART I'VE EVER WANTED TO MAKE IN MY LIFE. I'M GOING NUTS OVER HERE. THANK YOU.

Scarlett Johansson 123 you see the thing here is schools are suppose to teach you all these stuffs in the first place. That’s why you pay them, you saying what you’ve just said is like paying for something you’re not gonna use.
I’m such a beginner that I don’t even have Adobe Illustrator yet! I wanted to see the level of difficulty, and like you say there’s so many things you can do with this software I’m sure it can get intense. I draw and want to upload my art because sometimes I want those clean lines and perfect colors. You did a wonderful job explaining the process and what tools you were going to use. You spoke quickly, but got to the point of why and how your doing it. I understand there are tons of layers, which I would need practice on. It’s hard to practice when you’re unable to use the actual software, however I appreciate that you grasp that we are beginners and repeated things of importance so we can remember. Thank you for your time!
Wow, really great audio and video quality. A pleasure to watch and listen. Thanks! Also, for those of us w CS6, no shaper tool like at 14:25, but you can use the shape builder tool Shift+M in mode to remove the extra shapes.
it looks so fkn easy when u do it but when i practice there's little mistakes and i dont even know how to fix them -.- but this was really helpful thank you
tip 'keep your finger on the Alt key, click on the last tangent and just "suck it in" and drag it back', sir you're a great tutor indeed. I'll keep coming to these videos to hone my little skills. Thanks
This was honestly the best tutorial I've seen for a while. It was instructive, it was enjoyable, it was perfectly clear with additional explanations etc. Subbed!
Even though I use Illustrator and the pen tool most of the time, it was still good to see this tutorial to brush up on techniques I have forgotten/haven't discovered.
Just downloaded Illustrator, and this is the first tutorial I watched. Very helpful, thorough and perfect for beginners like me. Thank you so much; I learned so much and am looking forward to learning more! You guys are the absolute best.
You know it just goes to show you that just because you know a program it doesn't mean you know everything about it and there will always be more to learn ☺️
Mate! This is THE most legendary tutorial I've ever seen in my life! Seriously can't spot anything negative, presentation:spot on and thank you for going into detail for every single click or button that you pressed, so helpful! Thank you so much! Keep it up!
Great intro to the pen tool - I think it's one of those tools that everyone is afraid of or just don't know about it's usefulness if they're coming from a Photoshop background. I've been using the pen a for nearly 10 years now and love what it can do. One quick tip to save yourself a step when you're opening the window to drop your opacity on your artwork layer there's a box for Lock that you can check rather than clicking the lock box in the Layers palette after you close that window. Keep up the great content!
One of the best Pen Tool Tutorials I've ever seen! THANK YOU, when you said "You click and start scribbling, and do all this crazy stuff... and then you get frustrated and put the pen tool away, and then you don't touch it again" it hit so hard to home, my neighbors woke up haha. But really, I related to it immediately, but thanks to you, I believe I understand the Pen Tool a little bit better. Regards from México!
That's funny. I did a practice session this morning and used a Spidey drawing as my reference. Lots of curves. Funny to see this video pop up after that.
Great vid! I still can't get used to this tool though...I can only work with a "smart" pen tool.. I'm not sure AI has it, but Affinity Photo and Painttool SAI do. This type of pen tool feels so counter-intuitive to me, i just can't work quickly with it.
Around 18:00 you make the guides. Do strokes not have a guide naturally associated with them? Seems like a weird workflow to have to duplicate your strokes just to have them be snappable. Any alternatives? Thanks for the vid, I have watched many times already trying to internalize these techniques lol.
now how do you go from the finished pen tool with all the layers, to saving it and making it on a transparent background so i can put into another picture.???
7:49 I still don't understand how you are getting rid of that hard angle on the very top of the head. Can anyone explain / link to another video that shows this in more depth please?
Ive gotta say, some really easy free programs have things called 'Line tools' Which have 4 points you can grab and bend, This is much easier and less complex than this, It can do some things just AS COMPLEX as this. (talking about paint.net)
Every illustrator videos I happen to have come across online, shows how it is used on mac windows. Can someone make illustrator instructions using windows pcs because most of the functions in windows pcs differs from mac pcs please?
The Curv Pen tool in PS is so SO much better than the one in IL, at least you can draw lines that finish where it meets another line, not needing to draw excess and then removing it, adding more unwanted steps. They are both the same tool yet the one in an app DESIGNED for it is worse than the one NOT designed for it, Both made by Adobe. This is by FAR my biggest issue with IL.
Illustrator is my nemesis! I've mastered PS. AE and I are pretty good acquaintances. Audition has gotten me out of many a bind. But Illustrator keeps putting a dunce cap over my head. I'm not meant to learn it! And oh how I've tried!!!
i love it when something fucks up hes like: "dont worry dont panic we'll get trough that" this man could get me trough a house fire and i'd be walking out happy as ever
I learned a lot in this and made it much easier to understand how/why to use pen vs curvature tool. Definitely boosted my workflow! Now instead of having a million anchor points and flipping, flopping between the two - I have a better understanding of when to use each. Also, Spidey is a great way to get your feet wet with these tools!
Here's the sketch that I was talking about in this video: bit.ly/2RLNbbF (forgot to add the link earlier! 💀)
i just wanna thnk you so much, i appreciate this video from you sir!
uh thak uh you
uhhhhhhh tutvid

It does not allow me to download the jpg. It is in view mode...unless I'm doing something wrong!

The pen tool has been my worst nightmare and hope to conquer my fears now
Same
By far the best tutorial tool and I've been struggling with the pen tool forever, like years forever, you nailed it barely 7 min into the video.
I have literally learnt more of you in the past 10 minutes than I have done in my 3 year graphic design university course😳
Thank you❤️
What?
Exactly. I learned C language more in 10 days through internet than my 1 year in college.

Yeah illustrator is very nice because it will smooth out all lines you make, unless you tell it to not.
You should get this program

Same same same!!!
Speed painting is even worse. They make it look easy but I get stuck redrawing the same first line over and over again.

You are one of the best but slightly hasty for those whose English is not as quick as yours..but best still
5 years of using illustrator and I never knew about the shaper tool, this is going to make everything so much easier!

I've been using Photoshop and Illustrator for about 20yrs and never really learned how to use the pen tool.
Thank you!
My illustrator doesnt have shaper tool. Its just shape builder tool. What to do? How can i trim excess lines 😭
Great vid! I still can't get used to this tool though...I can only work with a "smart" pen tool.. I'm not sure AI has it, but Affinity Photo and Painttool SAI do. This type of pen tool feels so counter-intuitive to me, i just can't work quickly with it.
Phenomenal tutorial! Thank you SO much! Subscribed, saved, and thumbs up! P.S. I love how fast you talk - perfect speed for my ears. :)

Hi. I can't find SHAPER TOOL in my Adobe Illustrator CS6 2020, is there any substitute tool I could use to delete the extra lines? Thank you.
easy explanation great work nice tutorial thx for share..
HOW THE HELL CAN SOMEONE BE BOTH SKILLED AND CREATIVE IN ALMOST ALL OF THE ADOBE PROGRAMS
20:19 how did u clicked the blue webs quickly?😅
Magic Wand bruh. Just make sure you have selected the stroke color.
14:35 wow i needed this at college today😧
You're the best!
Great vid can you do a vid on making a rhino mascot?

tks u
7:49 I still don't understand how you are getting rid of that hard angle on the very top of the head. Can anyone explain / link to another video that shows this in more depth please?
This is a great tutorial! I don't even use illustrator, only photoshop, but you kept me watching through the whole video :)
This is a really good video, I learned a lot here, Looking at the pen tool in a whole new way! Thank you .
liked before watching because you look like you know what your gonna talk about
Ive gotta say, some really easy free programs have things called 'Line tools' Which have 4 points you can grab and bend, This is much easier and less complex than this, It can do some things just AS COMPLEX as this. (talking about paint.net)
how did he know i was panicking lol
Probably this must useful tutorial on the pen tool in illustrator I've found sho far. Thanks!
Every illustrator videos I happen to have come across online, shows how it is used on mac windows. Can someone make illustrator instructions using windows pcs because most of the functions in windows pcs differs from mac pcs please?
Fabulous tutorial - you do a great job of demonstrating the intimidating pen tool. Can't wait to try this!
Do the lines go in the layers automatically? did'nt see u put anything in the layers panel!
The Curv Pen tool in PS is so SO much better than the one in IL, at least you can draw lines that finish where it meets another line, not needing to draw excess and then removing it, adding more unwanted steps.
They are both the same tool yet the one in an app DESIGNED for it is worse than the one NOT designed for it, Both made by Adobe. This is by FAR my biggest issue with IL.
Really?
♥️♥️♥️love it, love from india
Thank you so much for this video!! Mine looks almost identical to yours, I’m so happy and proud!
why is it that there should be no fill color while using the pen tool un tracing the drawing?
Illustrator is my nemesis! I've mastered PS. AE and I are pretty good acquaintances. Audition has gotten me out of many a bind. But Illustrator keeps putting a dunce cap over my head. I'm not meant to learn it! And oh how I've tried!!!
GKOALA7 I used to feel the same about Photoshop, and honestly I sometimes still do. But it’s really all about practice, even if it sounds cliché.
Thank you thank you THANK YOU :D i'm new to any kind of program like this and really needed this type of guidance, youre the bestest! :)
I have some doubt what do you mean by ''option key''.
Total beginner here. This is the second of your videos I have watched, and you really do explain things well. Great attention to detail!
Loved this one , thank you . But why don't You use shape builder tool for deleting useless paths?
lost my mind at 4:25 lol SO USEFUL
i love it when something fucks up hes like: "dont worry dont panic we'll get trough that"
this man could get me trough a house fire and i'd be walking out happy as ever
how do you do the sketch itself in Adobe though why is everyone just dragging and dropping like this in their tutorials???
wow... i thought you only have tutorials about premier, audition, and photoshop... i can learn a lot from your channel
I have one question.
How much an illustrator artist can take for make illustration art?
I learned a lot in this and made it much easier to understand how/why to use pen vs curvature tool. Definitely boosted my workflow! Now instead of having a million anchor points and flipping, flopping between the two - I have a better understanding of when to use each.
Also, Spidey is a great way to get your feet wet with these tools!
the head and the body of my character got merged, i am unable to move them separately, what do i do?
1:52 exactly what i did
the most unintuitive software for people that just want to draw.
