Thank you so much, Jeremy!! I've been learning how to use Illustrator, but using layers has escaped me. This was very helpful!

[GeorgiMTM]

Hi, i have a question. Let's say i have 2 layers, how can I paint on only one of them withouth painting to the other, like selection in photoshop? Thank you

[zaminrradiendo]

can you create a shortcut key for new layers .

[DimitriBoyarski]

Hey guys. Is there any way to only see the layers of active artboard?

[Abrahamic.Design]

I noticed that you didn't mention anything about layers.

[mgutrp]

on 2:50 what this little circle for? I saw people use it to apply filter on whole layer, or something like that, I don`t really understand how it works, please tell more about the circle in the right part of layer on layer panel

Thanks heaps Jeremy for what you do... Great videos :-) If I want to export a png from Illustrator for POD like on Redbubble does it matter how many layers I have or do pngs just upload as one graphic? Thanks so much :-)

So, when I draw on one layer and go to another, and erase, it erases stuff that was on a different layer. Any way to fix that?

[JayBaggio]

2:11 this doesn't work in AI 2020 (pressing alt + click). Do you know how to solo a layer there? thanks

[blitzballerjg]

You showed how to use layers, but didn't explain what they are used for or how to actually use them functionally.
