    This is gold! Thank you for sharing, it really feels like unlocking the formula to perfect logo shapes. As a graphic design student, this video absolutely blew my mind.

    You are by far, hands down - the utmost helpful TH-cam Illustrate user that I have found and is incredibly kind to post free tutorials, tips & tricks videos.
    Thank you, so so much for all of the amazing videos and tutorials that have taught me incredible amounts of invaluable knowledge.
    Question though, what was your "Grid" setup? Is your Grid setup standard, as in: Gridline every: 72px AND Subdivisions: 8?
    Thank you again for everything!
