Getting Started with Adobe Illustrator for Beginners Tutorial

A tutorial on how to get started with Adobe Illustrator for beginners!

This tutorial covers the basics of getting started inside Adobe Illustrator! I walk through how to set up documents, how to create and modify type, how to draw basic shapes and also give them rounded corners, give a very basic overview of using the pen tool, and then finish showing the brush and blob brush tools.

I tried to have this be fairly comprehensive in order to give you all the basic skills you need to start to creating stuff inside Illustrator! With these building blocks you can start to work towards creating more advanced designs. :)

Thank you! This was the first video I've watched on Adobe Illustrator. I've undertaken a complex task and I think learning the basics will help me build a foundation to eventually get to the point where I can accomplish it!

Thank you so much for your thorough lesson for us beginners. I have watched a few other videos before coming across yours. I must say you really help me understand the basics of illustrator by working at a slower pace and explaining everything as you went about it. I will definitely be watching your other videos :)
