This is so great! You've done in 5 minutes what other videos do in 30. For people who don't need hand holding, but just need a general idea of how the basic functions work, this is just brilliant. Just. Brilliant. Thanks man! really appreciate it.
Katarzyna Sopilova if you need help I would suggest downloading firealpaca and messing with the stuff on there. It’s a simpler, free version with all the basics :) It’s a lot easier to learn imo
For real, I like learning as process where I have control in the information process and do the work to understand it. Than, to sit, listen carefully, and wait patiently for the answer or long winded explanation where the professor suddenly moves to the next topic as you are lost in sudden new words and going "eh what"...
Could you for future tutorials, write alle the comands you are saying on screen as you say them, it makes it a 100 times easyer to remember for non english people like my self :)

God when u know adobe photoshop u hope to understand illustrator fast. And this video was a gift from above. Especially when u have no time to follow all 20 tutoring videos and must do your job quickly. Thanks a lot! This video was so helpful!
Hey man, I'm a true beginner of Adobe here and this is a GREAT outstanding tutorial! You just fly through showing tons of functions and easily and clearly explaining them and their hotkeys. Good work. I don't even know when to use photoshop, illustrator or any of the others. I don't understand all of the differences between the apps in the CC cloud. If I can find a tutorial explaining that, it would be great! I know it's very basic info lol but it should be up!
Hi djoeflow Illustrator is vector (math) based which means when you enlarge or shrink down a design it all stays in proportion. You can also import photos which are jpeg too but I dont want to go off on a tangent about photos in AI. Photoshop is specific to photos and uses jpeg - think little dots that distort as you enlarge a photo. Thats a very basic explanation. Illustrator is the most versatile of all the Adobe software so if you're going to try something I would suggest AI. It can be frustrating but if you just practice one thing at a time you will get it. InDesign etc .. have more specific and what I think are more limited uses.
thanks mang. I've been a motion designer for nearly 15 years and I have no idea how to use Illustrator. Trying to change that and your video is the first step in that direction.
this is a great video if your a PS pro giving illustrator a go for the first time. That's cause your not a noob and you just need to know the differences between illustrator and PS
This was great! Don't understand people that complain that it took longer than 5 minutes. Even an hour is great for an overall practical into to the app.
Very well done. I much prefer this rapid-style overview to ponderous, drawn-out tutorials that spend 5 minutes tossing word-salad for about 30 seconds of usable information. Great job.
This is fantastic!! I learned more in this 5 minutes than in most of the other videos I have found combined and especially learned basic about some very annoyingly simple tasks that were elusively not intuitive. Thank you!!!
Thanks for the help - I took a class, And it helped alot but I forgot some of the shortcuts and how to add point/anchors - I watched your video and also taking notes on MS Word, I will print it out and keep it next to computer - You helped me alot - Thanks
Nice! My son decided he wanted to learn illustrator so I’m going to send him your video. I use illustrator every day at work but there’s so much to the program, I couldn’t figure out what I should show him first. He’s really good with Photoshop so I did show him some of the Key commands illustrator has in common so he’d feel a little more at home and I also gave him a run-down of the pathfinder functions. But this is a nice, quick and easy video. Thanks!
I have subscribed to your channel just because you are the opposite of most of the videomakers on youtube. fast, precise and full of information in very short time. I have no time to loose, so i need more like this. please continue doing your videos in this way. thank you very much
absolutly like uhm wow, its just impossible to remember this in 5 minutes. A awsome video and tutorial just need toi pause and rewind alot. just cool stuff
Hi! Thank you for sharing this easy to follow tutorial . I am determined to love how to use Adobe illustrator yet struggling so you are a great video to discover. When I click and make star shape then use up and down buttons to change amount of points it doesnt do anything. Any suggestions?
Yo!! I appreciate it a lot bro! I would love to see you drop a video on using a drawing tablet. I personally just grabbed a Gaomon 106mk. Trying to learn the basics. Thanks!
Finally found an easy tutorial to understand AI all thanks to you for making this learning process so easy for me. I am starting AI today and I learn a lot in 5 Mins keep sharing such short and easy tutorials. Count me in as a new subscribe
This is a nice small overview of what someone can do with illustrator However I would not say this video is the best source of illustrator basics Its important to first understand the tools itself and learn the function and do a practice model work for each tool to really get the basics so any beginner out there, no need to worry about how much of a panic attack this " a lot of random information" is giving. hehe illustrator is not a difficult platform to learn once you know your basic tools and effects
Thank you Julian. I was REALLY struggling to use Illustrator. I just started using the programme a week ago, for a new course at Uni and your video is a terrific introduction. The only part I got lost in was when you said, " hit SHIFT M to make a shape". Due to your charming accent, I thought you said SHIFT N! But after replaying I realised where I had gone wrong. Cheers.
I would actually call it: Five minutes of video to learn Illustrator. It took me hours to just learn how to control the pen tool before I felt I could move on. But, it taught me what I needed to know to start playing around with it and not shoot the computer in frustration.
This is great... so many adobe tutorials on youtube are just confusing.... this was really clear and fast and I'm going to watch it at least a couple of times... thanks!
Watched this to see if Illustrator is worth having as I've been using Photoshop for some designs as I use it a lot for my photography, but shapes and logos are so fiddly in Photoshop. This seems much better! Looks like I'll be spending money on Illustrator...
Just downloaded my self a copy of Adobe Illustrator. I'm coming over from PS CS6. This seems pretty similar. Hopefully, I can master both of them. Thanks for the video. Definitely helped.
This is my first time enjoying your RUclips channel. Great content! Looking forward to hearing more from you! Your video was so informative. Thank you so much!

Haha so true
Awesome video, thanks !!! Took some Notes for shortcuts.
Command N = New Document
Command S = Save Document
Space & Drag = Move Doc Around
Layers on Right Panel
M = Rectangle
V = Transform Shape
Shift & Drag = Scale Formally
Alt & Drag to right or left = Widen Shape
Star tool = Triangle, Up Arrow adds points, Down arrows take away points
A= Direct Selection tool , Allows you to change individual points
P= Pen Tool, + add point, - Delete point
P= Create Linear Shapes , Click & Drag for curved points, alt to stop curvature
Illustrator brush tool on left, good for creating typography, smoothes out lines.
Thank you
thanks
Thanks
You're a nice person.
You forgot Q for lasso
2:50 remove and add anchor points
3:03 pen tool to make curves and lines
3:30 selection tool to edit existing points
3:35 curvature tool, variation of pen tool) Can click multiple points and continue the curvature
3:55 Can use alt to make it a sharp line instead of a curved line
4:00 to create text, use text tool T
4:10) Array of type tools to type along paths, or inside of specific areas, etc
4:17) Brush tool B
Smooths out your brush strokes automatically
4:37 eyedropper tool
Select an object, then Press I for eyedrop tool and the new color you eyedrop on = takes over the color of your currently selected object
5:00 SHape builder tool) Shift N
Drag shapes together and can add or subtract them to create new shapes
-Hold Alt + Click on overlaps will delete overlapping shapes
- Shift click will fill in overlapping negative space
5:25) -Esc will make seperate shapes out of all the overlapping areas
clicks and shortcuts won't work with me in illustrator 2019 for the shape builder tool .
can you tell me how to do it ?
Thanks in advance ..

Same tutorial. The difference is that he talks 6x faster
Him: Learn Illustrator in 5 minutes!
Me: Literally spends an hour pausing, trying, mistaking, googling...
Practice makes perfect I guess lol
He was too fast for a beginner
That's the learn process dude keep at it
The explanations is too fast for Begginer i am trying 😔
