Sensational, really helpful tutorial, logical, comprehensive and beautifully presented - BIG THANKS NATHANIEL !

[radharcanna]

That’s a great tutorial Nathaniel. Your dedication as a teacher and your attention to detail are apparent.

That was a lot packed into one tutorial. You demystified masking for me 😃 Your pace was a bit fast for a beginner tho. I will try all these things and hope I can get them to work as shown. Great artwork btw! It's cool to watch someone as skilled as you work.

I never knew what that 'clip' thing was for until now, thanks, Nathaniel!! Great explanations for these techniques.

Fantastic! Alas, every Illustrator technique I learn seems to reveal another dozen features I've no clue about

Thank you so much, I really needed this. Hands down clearest AI mask tutorial on the internet

[vlogsfavorsphileco]

Thank you very much! You just added another skill to my AI skillset..
honestly I've spent working in AI years back now but I thought this feature can only be accessed in APS whithout trying it in AI..
so, this AI feature and technique is totally new to me, from you! 🖖🙏

[kadencefilms]

Hmm how do you make the preview in the layers panel so large? You can actually see what the layer is!!

[taimoorkhanvlogs]

Great video ! Very useful learned some new techniques from this video 😊

Hey Nathaniel! I'm a big fan of your videos.

One suggestion I have that's pretty small is to choose artwork that you can link to in the description so we can follow along exactly. It may seem trivial bc there are thousands of free resources online but for those of us learning 100% on YouTube, it's nice to be able to follow along exactly with the same art. Not providing the art can also serve as a roadblock in your views since people need to pause, find an image, make sure it works with the tutorial, etc. I hope that's helpful. I really love your channel and want to see your videos getting the playcounts they deserve! You're an awesome instructor and I appreciate the work you put into these videos.

Love it! I always have so much trouble with the Transparency mask. I'm bookmarking this vid for next time I need to use it. 🥰

[arturodelaguardiacasaban]

Honestly, what the hell happened at Illustrator? it seems like it's getting more difficult to use. I could do all these things few years ago, now I can't even find many of my most used features

Thank You so much...Great Ideas that I will certainly put to use.
