Listening to lessons because of your magic voice and pronunciation. This is my favorite ASMR-channel on Youtube!

[joaopratas]

Fuuuuck I looked for too long on way too many tutorials, for something you explained me in less than 2 minutes! Thank you so much for the great tutorial

[Tonicwine]

Great tutorial, a lot of great tips here I haven't seen in other tutorials

[bobbethune]

The "Add Anchor Point" tool is available in the flyout for the Pen tool for those who, like me, find that pressing the + key doesn't switch to it.

Thank you, you are my savior! Great tutorial. Maybe it will be useful to someone - if you want an even space between objects you will need a lot of points. I found much easier way to do it then manually add them one by one. Select your path -> Object -> Path -> Add anchor points. It will add additional points in between existing. Sadly, you can't control how many points it adds but if you select your path with selection tool (V) and then switch to direct selection tool (A) it will show you all anchor points and you can see if there are enough of them. Then repeat tutorial steps. I had non symmetrical path and this method worked for me. P.S. I'm new to AI if this method is obvious I apologize.

Is there a way to change position of the point upon which shape is laid on path? In Your tutorial it is always in the middle of the shape.

[belaltv]

It is a learning tutorial for me. Thanks for tutorial

[almodaristv]

[enochmuwanguzi]

What's the synonym of Excellent?
Thank you very much.
Keep it up!

[designsbyindraja]

What if I want some changes in the line itself, like variation in the sizes of the hearts?

[Luciano_mp]

Excelente, você é muito boa no que faz, obrigado.

[suzannedawson]

I’m confused. Selecting my heart and small objects will not let me replace spine. Also what exactly is control-Alt-B supposed to do?
