    59:20 Instead of creating custom swatches with the lines, you could make the lines/abstract shape a pattern and select the option to size the pattern to the art. It behaves much better that way

    Good tutorial!
    Few notes:
    58:52 (Use the pathfinder with the intersect option and you'll be left with the design you wanted in a square form)
    1:00:41 Trim only the right and bottom edges so that you don't create white spaces when the shape repeats itself

    This was one of the best Illustrator tutorials I've ever watched! I am a self-taught graphic designer, so I've got pockets of knowledge that allow me to do what I need to do, but I've also got quite a few gaps. This tutorial goes through all of the important tools without being exhausting. It filled a TON of gaps for me in about an hour!

    • @hankmoody9313

    Thanks for the tutorial. A good tip for zooming in and out is ALT mouse scroll wheel.
    You don't need to fill a shape to make it a clipping mask - the clipping shape doesn't need a fill or a stroke.
    I can't get the stripy fills to work either.

    At around 1:08:47, another way to round out that corner is to use the direct selection tool (A). Just select that specific anchor at the upper right, a circle with a dot in it's center will appear. Pull that circle 45 degrees downward opposite (in this case left), and it will start rounding that corner. How much roundness you want depends how far you pull the circle.

    NTS:
    PATHFINDER
    30:01 Join, minus front, intersect, exclude (opposite of Intersect)
    32:10 Divide - where the shapes overlap are separated into separate shapes
    33:40 Shape Builder Tool - Combine separate shapes into one
    47:30 Smooth Tool - smoothes out a line
    49:10 Knife Tool - Can cut apart shapes like a knife
    56:50 Add Shapes/Patterns to Swatches (kinda sucks but OK)
