this is a one-stock video that has me turned from a beginner to an advanced user in a single lesson. thanks

[njengathegeek]

David is such an amazing instructor, I have now taken photoshop & illustrator beginner and advance, am now a pro

[marthaworthington]

I 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 the rotation effect with Distort & Transform. It works with triangles, too, but you can't let the angle and/or horizontal/vertical scale values get too high. Also, if your copies are spiralling 𝒃𝒆𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅 your original shape, there may be another shape hidden in the background … select all, delete and start again.

You are the Bob Ross of tutorials. I love all of your videos.

[blueswithesoul]

this video is truly awesome, and David you were born to inspire people. I can't believe my eyes when you can make things change so easily and quickly. I use autocad, revit etc and to make something so complex would take me way way too long

[usagiable]

The one effective technique I use is staying in touch with a financial coach for guidance, it might soft basic or generic, but getting in

[crispsounddrops]

[carlloos]

I enjoy your tutorials a lot, and from to time I turn on subtitles. Any chance on synchronizing your voice and subtitles? Right now subtitles are at least two steps ahead of your voice. It's no big deal, but a little iritating. Thanks again for your tutorials!
