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. 🙏🏾♥️

This guy is absolute genuine person. I love the way he teaches. Best tutorial I've ever found in YT.

Dan is an amazing teacher. Absolutely no fluff. No blabbing. Nuggets of knowledge through out the course. Do not skip ahead, watch every minute.

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!

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 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!

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!

You are the nicest teacher I’ve ever seen.

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.

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.

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've been touting myself as a Graphic Designer for almost 20 years, done OK by the way!... I've never used Illustrator. I taught myself Photoshop and went on from there. I always managed to get what I needed from just using PS. Lately I had to unpick someone else's very detailed and quite complex .ai files and make some amends to/from them. The Illustrator interface scared the **** out of me... but I needed to learn it, its tools, quirks and functions asap. I found this video and have had the biggest awakening/lightbulb moment of all time - If I had known how to use Illustrator 20 years ago, I think I'd be a richer man! Geniune thanks for this! It's been a pleasure to watch, learn along with and has spurred some creative ideas that would've taken me hours and hours to create in PS alone! Yours truly, A new Ai convert!

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.

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.

This course literally saved me! I had to teach a graphic design class to high school students and couldn't have done it without Daniel's tutorial!

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 😊

So so grateful for this course Dan! Your style of teaching is super fun and easy! Thank you so much!

I'm now an expert in Adobe illustrator, i started my journey with you Denn, thank you❤

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.

I am relearning illustrator after 4 years, successfully revived my skills and learnt many new ones. Thank you so much for this course!

I love your tutorials they’re really helpful and wholesome 💖

I absolutely love how you explain things. So easy for me to understand. This is what i was looking for.

I subscribed because you taught me Illustrator. And now I am going to make epic posters of obscure animations such as Flapjack or Duck man.

I've always been scared of trying this, but this year the theme is facing my fears. Thanks Daniel, you make it look so easy.

Dan, you are really the Best! So much detail and quality! Thank you so much!

I'm chipping away at this course bit by bit and it's great!

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!!!

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❤

Excellent, thank you!

Always enjoy your tutorials 👍🧡

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!

What an incredible class. I started it over here and then moved over to your website to enroll. You're a fantastic teacher!

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

I wish I could have found you two years ago!{ will be taking your photoshop and after effects next!! Much appreciated 😘

I completed the first lesson (fox body, head and nose) and I have already learnt a lot! Can't wait to finish this. Thank you for uploading to KZfaq!

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!! 😊❤

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 . 😇

This is what I was searching for....... a massive value in it. LOTS OF LOVE DAN ❤❤❤

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.

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!!!

To begin with, thanks man for helping people. Now a Zoom Tip. On Windows, hold Alt Key + Mouse Button, and you can zoom out and in directly where you want to.

Thank You so much Dan. I loved the course. The last section where you show the steps from Ai to printing on the shirt was awesome. ❤️🫶

I have learnt a lot from this free course, thanks in advance.

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 🇹🇿

THIS IS REALLY AMAZING I LOVE IT

As i've always said, East to West Dan Scott's the Best, these tutorials have helped me lot, thank you

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...

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!!!

thank you it's have been a fun ride 😅 finally i Graduated the course 🔥

You're a great mentor ❤ I can't even describe how much I owe you. This is my day 2 using this course and I'm already making huge progress. Many thanks

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 🙌

As someone with a masters in education specializing in instructional design... This is amazing! Thank you!

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! ♡
