You are a lifesaver! using effects in illustrator has been a pain for years for me and I never knew why my vector illustrations never looked as good as those from other professionals. Now I can finally achieve exactly what I want with my shading, thank you!

Learned something new! I am using Illustrator since Version 9.0 (before cs/cc) but felt like I had missed most of the cool innovations of the recent years. Very well explained and also nice to listen to you! Thanks :-)

I have learned so much from your tutorials~

This is really game changer due to illustrator work with vectors, also when using SCATTER brushes, they tend to use vectors to draw lines. Which increases the processing of your computer. Adding masks and layers it is a really smart solution to this problem
