Is it just me or is Illustrator kinda more complicated than it needs to be?!

Actually works.. Just disable the real time protection in Setting. Wasnt sure that it would work .Awesome bruh..

This is so great. I was battling with this yesterday and it was hectic, though I got it but I didn't know it was much easier like this. Thanks.

Pixel and Bracket once again save my life!

Wowwww, thank you! I was struggling with this so much yesterday, so this is super helpful! I've used the shape-builder tool to combine shapes, but I didn't realize it could also split them. Would be nice if that was a part of the pop-up s-b tool menu, but whatever xD Glad I found your video!

THANK YOU You made something I've been trying to learn for ages - understandable. You are a Blessing.

oh thank you so much man! I'm trying to illustrate a Mecha in illustrator, and you can imagine i need to divide shapes into more detailed shapes with many many lines. This is actually a slightly better way than how i learned in school. In school we cut shapes apart with other shapes with the shape builder and pathfinder, rather than split shapes with lines, so thank you

Great, to the point, tutorial. I appreciate how you make sure we know where to get to certain menu options, but you don't waste a lot of time on it either and stay focused on achieving the finished result.
