The best tutorial for introducing illustrator. A school would probably ask for a few hundred bucks for a lesson like this. Thank you for your generous effort!

One of the best drawing tutorials on YouTube. Articulate, clear narration, free of "um"'s, "you know"'s and awkward pauses. Just the right amount of speeded-up and real-time drawing.

The most well done tutorial ive ever seen.

I searched really hard for this video because I wanted to thank you, Gareth David Studio. Ten years ago, this video started my graphic design journey. Today, I'm a senior graphic designer. Thank you for making such easy to follow tutorials at a time when there weren't many. It's good to see that you are still uploading.

I was ready to give up on illustrator completely until I watched this video in its entirety. Many videos and "tutorials" I find are just, "watch me do this, " and not any actual teaching. You taught a lot on what each tool means and what it does. Can't thank you enough for this video!

I just want to let u know how much I appreciate your tutorial. I am new learner and by watching your videos I learn so much. Bless you!

I have been looking for something like this for awhile to get me up and running. If anyone needs to get familiar with Illustrator for beginners you can't beat this. The tutorial is very thoroughly loaded with so much step by step information. Gareth David is very good instructor as a guide to help you gasp how Illustrator tools work while you create your design. I've have seen other tutorials on the same subject not that they were bad but more than often the instructors where to well seasoned and often leave small information out that would take time away from the lesson while you try to figure out "now what do I do"? Gareth David also has an excellent wedsite for beginners that covers basic projects to even learn more
about the fundamentals of Illustrator. Please for novice beginners this is a must see. His lessons come with everything you need and get this! It's all free! Gareth, Thank you for sharing your skilled talent and insights to shows us the tricks and the in's and out's of Illustrator. Kudo's to you! I hope you continue to share your knowledge with us. I hope that you never feel you are doing this in vain. You are a great educator.

[jaerob]

Once I complete my logo I will share my results with you :)

I have used Illustrator around 15 years ago and need to start learning all the basics again. Great tutorial and you love how you point out simple things like how to zoom in. I need to learn everything from scratch again.

I've never been so frustrated with a program before. I learned photoshop quiet easily... But I'm absolutely clueless when it comes to Illustrator. I'm about to just quit using it all together.
