In this video, I'm going to show you how the Eraser works in Adobe Illustrator and some possible solutions when it doesn't work. 💡

Omg. I was going crazy. The quick note at the beginning about being a "vector editing tool" was the solution I needed!

Thanks for clarifying the difference between eraser and path eraser. These are the little interface details that make Illustrator so frustrating to use for beginners.

On the Mac keyboard, Adobe Illustrator says that the shortcut to reduce and enlarge the eraser tool is in square brackets, but I could not use it.

Yay! Finally, a channel about AI for newbies like myself! Very concise and straight to the point. I like the fact that you explain different variations of the same tool in the toolbox. As a newbie I was having a hard time with eraser tool and I didn't know that it could be used on vector images only. Can you make a video about "Scissor tool" as well? I didn't find it in your video list.
