to be honest, this may be the most helpful video on any tool in illustrator. the pen tool is the wand for those who can use it, and a bane for those who cant. THANK YOU so much

Hands down the best tutorial for basic pen tool. Great tips for such a frustrating tool. Thanks for posting.

Will, an absolute place to start. It makes so much sense now. Yes, I would like to see more pen tool vids that take the basics and present them in bite size lessons like this. Also, the lack of background noise is appreciated. Thanks! Constance.

Thank you Will

I don't always 'like' videos unless I really learned something from it. But in this case, I never knew that part around 3:00 where you talked about the lines intersecting each other. I'll have to keep that in mind in the future!

I've been using Adobe Illustrator for almost 10 years and never though of using the pen tool this way. I'm into lettering and this video is coming super handy now. Thanks you so much for making this!!

I learned so much in your nine minute video than I did taking 3 years of design course at a university. Mind blown! Thanks for taking the time to put this video together.

I'm new to Illustrator and i must say this is the best Pen Tool tutorial i've come across since trying to learn this software. Thanks a lot for sharing.

[Murmurrr]

This is absolute genius. I am so happy decided to start doing logos and lettering. I have been using illustrator for years now, but never this way. Thank you so much.

Finally I get a video that makes sense about the curves. I am going to practice this before I move on to the next level of the pen tool

Best pen tool tutorial, one year ago I found it and the same day I ended up using it for pretty complex shapes. Thank you so much. 1 year review of your tutoriar. It is damn good!

I've heard, seen, and read a lot about being efficient with anchor point placement, but this video is definitely the most helpful explanation I've encountered. Truly appreciated. Dig you videos. :)

Honestly the best tutorial out here explaining this method, great job!
