thankyou very much
The best I've ever seen. It's crazy how good this video is..
You are awesome. Thanks a lot. I have a weird question:). Where can i find or how can i call the letter in the 2.00 hours? Thank you so much for everyone
Is there a way to select a point(for radius) using AI CC 2015? I can't select it with just one click (I'm in selection tool too)
very useful course,, thanks!
Love from India Dan♥
hello how can I bring photos
Thank you so much Dan! My first time using Illustrator and this video have given me a lot to start making logo.👍👍👍
Thank you! Great course.
Please my version of AI doesn't have the curve line under the Type tool. Where do I find it
i don't understood how to remove pencil art . please help me any easy way
thanks so much, it was actually very helpful to me. before when I downloaded this app, I didn't know what to do at start, but when I saw your video, it helped me allot. thanks so much.!!
thanks man
I Have spent my entire day watching these videos. They are FANTASTIC! I start school in 2 weeks to go for a graphic design degree. Ive watched so many other videos of these adobe apps and have struggled to understand alot of whats going on, but you sir are a great teacher. Already watched the inDesign course as well as this one and i went into the inDesign course not even knowing what the software was used for. Now i feel like i could confidently go into it and create layouts. Great job sir, thank you for your contribution. 👌🏻
This application is harder than I thought, I can't learn it in just a few days. It's harder than Photoshop.
Very good tutorial, easy to follow Thanks.
no need we have.. ehm we have A:I.. yaay., finaly this thing can leave to oblivion XD
How I downloaded the exercise files
Penguin exercise files plz guide
What this version ? Cc ?
Thank you Dan
Regarding the 'Working With Color' part, if you can't find 'Color Themes' on your program right now, it's because this option is no longer supported by Adobe.
This is a great video. What software do you use for screen sharing and editing?
Hey Dan, thanks for this tutorial, it has really been helpful. I am having a hard time making my image fit the drawing paper in Ilustrator. Whenever i place the image it usually exceeds the space provided by Illustrator. How can I rectify this problem? Thanks again for the video
Does anybody know why my arch tool and several other tools are gray?
This is an excellent course! Dan is fun and laughs with you as you learn. The video isn't stiff or boring and I really enjoyed it. Is there a new version for the color section? Color Themes doesn't exist in my version of Ai so trying to navigate thru it was a little tough, but I'm giving it a go. Thanks Dan!
Best 2 days of my illustrator learning career right here
Hi Dan: My daughter and I are getting stuck at the very beginning. We have AI, but don't seem to have the "getting started" file. We have other filed downloaded with AI, but not a folder related to getting started. Can you please help us understand where we are going wrong? Thank you.
Hello Dan, I'm trying to follow your Adobe Illustrator for beginners video, but I can not find the source files link.
I know it's been a couple of years since this post, can i still download the source files?
Hey Dan, I just started this course on my Windows PC, for some reason it's not letting me pull up some of the files in the Illustrator software. When I try to open the downloads while I'm in the software, it just says gaining acess to files on a neverending loop.
Not sure if this is the case for other PC users here, but I'd really would love to continue on learning.
this helps me a lot thank you so much for this video!!!
I try to create logos for my company and here for the basic. Dan explains the steps very well. Thank you for this free course!
Always Daniel… easy to follow. So so useful!
Finished the course in one sitting albeit taking multiple 10-30 min breaks in between as my ADHD was not allowing me to stay focused but I did it and I appreciate all the detail and extra files provided to help exercise the new information I was learning as most videos I watch skip very good fundamentals and its almost impossible to follow along with but for this course it was well put together and had plenty of info much thanks I look forward to learning a lot more advanced topics! 😀
Thank you very much…….😃
Please send me how I download illustrator
Thank you sir, it helped a lot 💝
Thank you very much for this course and i am so grateful for you

Thank you for the nice description.
Thansk man another video level

Thanks dear Daniel
