    I really feel like I've hit a goldmine by finding your channel today. I am a beginner programmer who wanted to learn some design to help ease the learning process with JavaScript a little and your videos have made Illustrator go from being an absolutely frustrating tool for a newb like myself to something that is actually very fun to use. Thank you so much for being there for newbies like myself.

    I'm a university student semi-formally learning Illustrator. (Not part of my program, but learning it for extracurriculars.) And let me tell you, the sheer number of things in this video that made my jaw drop are astounding. So many tricks I wish I knew earlier, and not really things you learn unless you see something like this.
    Thanks for the video. These are gonna make my life so much easier

    Perfect sense of humour. clear to the point and skilled. When an individual know what they are doing they make their profession look easy. Top notch. When attempting to cut a straight line with the knife tool I can not press Ctrl + shift + Alt. This just gives me the direct selection tool and the knife is deselected. I can do none straight curves just fine but I have to double click to select. Its rather annoying..Grrrr.

    The shortcut for zooming is Ctr/Cmd+Space bar and goes nicely with a space bar for hand tool.
