Finally! I am a noob to Illustrator and trying to learn, which has been difficult due to the lack of basic instructional videos on RUclips. Your instructions, although fast paced, was to the point without getting all technical. You gained another subscriber and will certainly view more of your videos for any help in Illustrator. Thank you!
Loved your tutorial. Very comprehensive and introduced basic to advance concepts using the pen tool to me. I loved the way you cut off your voice gaps when you edited the tutorial. This way it seems very fast, smooth and less boring. Great job, Matt.
I wonder why i haven't thought of watching pen tools video, I've been design in a very hard way that i end up giving up half of the way, this is great thank you making this video ^^
After searching during the last few months for tutorials related to AI i´m so happy to have found you, you are the best and most understandeable of all so far! Thank-you so much for sharing you knoweledge and experience, i feel so blessed! Thank-you! Thank-you! Thank-you!!!
@@MattBorchert No thank you honestly🙏🏽 this tutorial made my life so much easier lol still need to figure out how to add different layers of highlights and shadows but well get there. I really appreciate your efforts and time youve put into work so thank you SO much 🙏🏽 Take care Marie P.s Hello from The land of the long white cloud 👋🏼 - Aotearoa
you know what. i got a Fine Arts degree from a prestigious university in our country. i'm telling you, i learned more from this 7min tutorial than i did in our semester-long digital illustration course. 👏👏👏
At 1:10 when he says "Pee on your keyboard" did it work for anyone else? It basically just disabled my keyboard so I couldn't use any more keyboard short cuts. Otherwise, everything came out really well.
Matt, thank you VERY much for sharing. Was frustrated trying to learn this program and especially the pen tool, watched other videos on it but you explained it much better, more in depth, and in actually much less time! Thanks again. Now I have to go and practice what you taught me..... Subscribed!
Thanks! I like how you explain things fast and articulate. Trying to get this pen tool down is a pain. I came from Freehand and wish every program would steal Freehands pen tool use. Your explanation didn't help my situation but I'm realizing that because of Freehands ease of use and instructions for minimizing anchor points that I'll have to change the way I draw and place an anchor point at the apex of the curve and change that to a smooth point. When I try to make an adjustment at any bezier curve anchor point the point will only give me one handle when I want to adjust the curve. Anyways I'm thinking it has to do with where I'm placing my anchor points. Hey you did a great job thanks for your help.
Thanks for the video! You are really good at it. I searched just a basic video about this tool so I could learn about it and yours is really the best one.
Lol I'm learning this software at school and my teacher just gave us one function of the pen tool and gave us many shapes to practice even tho it doesnt work that way -_- Your video is far more helpful and detailed, I cant wait to test out everything you said! Thanks, big help :)
Good video Matt. Working on my graphic design degree and you just answered 3 or 4 major questions that I wish we had covered in class. Definitely gonna check out your other tutorials. Thanks
Not sure if you actually edit the video later, but how do you do that, talking without taking a breath with a steady speed?! I'm impressed, also your voice is just as good as your video (usually I tend to space out when people talk like that)! Subscribed your channel for life!
+wenjing ou Thanks! I do edit out pauses sometimes, although I do that a lot less often now unless the pause is really long because I'm thinking of what to say :D
I’ve watched like 10 million tutorials on this and none of them were as easy to follow, informative, and as complete as this one. Thanks!
Thanks Luke!
man let me tell you that you simplify things which is the sign of a good teacher
Thanks for keeping it simple. 7 minutes compared to the 20 minute ones. Thank you!
Daaaaaaamn Illustraaaaaaaaaaator. Thanks, nice tutorial.
