I'm totally new on this field and really appreciate your tutorial. It was easy to follow and your choice for the minimal potted plants is not just fun but very useful as you made me repeat the same exercises, thus it was a cakewalk to learn them. I think it's the first time that I subscribed so fast to a channel. Thank you and keep it up! Can't wait to check your other videos!

HEY! i just want to say thank you for this very precise and engaging tutorial. you were constantly reminding us of the shortcuts and where to find them, which was VERY useful. Many youtubers, mention it once and expect us to remember it. so thank you for that. I found this extremely useful and beautiful!

This is just AMAZING! Well, at the very beginning I didn't think I will be able to draw these beautiful pods by the end of the video but it turned out really working. It's easy when you explain it like that. And you know what's so smart about that tutorial is that you have used a bunch of commands and repeated them over and over again so we could no longer forget them. By the time I was doing that baby pod, I knew what to do and how to do it! Thanks. Really thanks from the bottom of my heart!

This was the first project I make with adobe illustrator. I was able to follow step by step and my finished result was very similar to your tutorial. I really liked learning about the shape builder tool. I'm still a bit unfamiliar with the menus (I was used to using Inkscape, so it took me a while how to figure out how to find the elipse tool) but with practice I'm sure I'll be able to learn where all the buttons are. Thank you for the beginner friendly explanation!
