Hi Dansky I am a graphic designer, a beginner and I really love watching your videos. From Liberia, West Africa.

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.

So far! the best all in one package video tricks I've seen for illustrator ❤

Perspective grid shortcut to turn it on and off is Command-Shift-I / CTRL-Shift-I Thank you for the tips. The one with the color picker is cool and will save me some nerves :)

WOW!! So many new features I didn't know, thank you for sharing! I also love how quick and simple your tutorials are. So helpful and a time-saver! And finally I know how to get the exact color instead of gradient

Dansky this is perfect. Informative, engaging, concise. Thank you

[tutorio]

Amazing... Fantastic tutorial... Keep up the great work!!!

[NNNedlog]

This is so helpful, especially with the perspective grid, sampling just a color from an existing gradient and double-clikcking anywhere on the workspace to exit a group

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
