In this tutorial we go over all the basics of Adobe Illustrator. If you've never used Illustrator or any vector program this is a great place to start. We begin with a sketch and take it all the way to a finished vector drawing. As a bonus we also jump into Photoshop to add some extra effects.

Only 13 minutes into the tutorial, but I have to say, I've used illustrator before to mess around, but this short tutorial has already made it seem 10000x easier to use than I previously thought. Thanks for the awesome tips.
same thought here. thanks @Brad Colbow!
The instructor's clarity and succinctness make his teaching invaluable.
Man I wish Brad does more of these easy to follow tutorials. Underrated art. Underrated youtube teacher.
Brad, you’re a gifted teacher: You know your subject well; you’re enthusiastic; your instruction is organized, concise, and clear; you deliver information with authority; you’re not condescending; and you seem like a people person.
Although I appreciate Adobe features (I used Illustrator for years), I’m repelled by Adobe’s subscription model and the ridiculous, exclusive cost of their products, but I still found your video interesting enough to watch all the way through.🙂
Strongly agree with the push against subscription models.
Do you have an alternative set of tools that are not subscription-based?
@@zfuzzballer I may have some, but I have no clue what I have or don't have. I had it gifted to me from a friend a little over a month ago and still haven't used it, or even figured out how to yet.
If it wasn't for this video, I'd still be confused about all the buttons. Maybe you could tell me where to look and I can send some to you? I'm not even sure if it works that way, but I'm happy to help if I can!
Another way you could get your highlights and such to appear within the character at the Photoshop stage is to use clipping masks (by Alt+Clicking inbetween the layers). Would then mean it's easier todraw within that area.
This tutorial taught me the Illustrator basics last week, and now I'm on my fourth product design. Thanks sir!
Great work, Brad. Love watching and listening to other artists run through their methods of madness. Really enjoy all of your content. Keep up the great work.
Much appreciated!
Honestly, I am amazed by the way you teach and admire your talent. I have been looking a video like yours for a long time. THANK YOU!!!
Loved the tutorial, super helpful, definitely makes me want to explore more vector art now, it would be amazing if you could make more videos like this one
super straight to the point and so many useful tricks along the way- the only thing I'd ask for is to see the mouse whenever you're doing these just to see what you're clicking on or selecting a bit clearer
Thank you so so much. I have tried to learn illustrator for years and always get frustrated even when doing the Adobe lessons. You go at the perfect pace and explain and SHOW exactly what we need to see. A lot of other videos go so fast and if you are trying to follow along you have to keep rewinding and searching what they clicked or what menu they went into. Adobe should hire you to be a master instructor. Well done. I can finally scan all my sketchbooks and bring my ideas into the modern world! Thank you again! I have watched a lot of videos on the adobe suite and there is no question- you are THE BEST.
Perfectly articulated. And agreed!
I've never seen a single one of your videos before but I'm doing a mad dash of vector art for my assets in my game design class and your video has saved my mental health and my project. thank you. i owe you my life.
This is by far the best tutorial I’ve watched since I’ve started digital art! I just learned some better techniques from you thank you so much!!! You’re amazing dude
I love this tutorial. Please do more of these. Maybe with Clip Studio or something :) Love your content!
Hi Brad, I'm a new Illustrator user. This is by far the most rewarding Illustrator tutorial I've watched so far. It's incredible how much you've packed into this 30 minute video. My capabilities just leveled up big time, thanks to you. Liked & subscribed.
WOW What an absolutely AMAZING tutorial! Thank you so much for this video! I'm only starting out on Adobe illustrator after using Procreate for a little while now so I really loved watching your process! I feel like I've gained a lot more clarity in how to use Adobe Illustrator now just from watching this one video! Thank you so much once again! SUBSCRIBED! :D
This is what a practical tutorial looks like. Great teaching! Thank you for making this!
This is a super helpful video - I appreciated the use and more importantly the explanation of the overlay blend mode, it took a previously thought complex approach and simplified it immensely. This will exponentially increase my productivity and for that I thank you!
This man is eloquent. Speaks nothing but facts and I've learned more from him in the 6 min I've been here then i have from my 3000$ college art course.
😢
You speak beautifully. I have such a hard time finding a good person to listen to instructions. You ✨pop✨ your words and it's so crisp.
When I saw the thumbnail I thought there is no way I can make something like that but I followed along with the video and made my very first character and it came out good. Thank you for the detailed yet simple great tutorial.....
beautifully explained. seriously not joking the way he named and explained each tool was - absolute excellence
Watching the character come to life bit by bit is amazing. Thanks for this! You make Illustrator look so easy 🙌🏻
Im learning Illustrator for college, you have taught me and made me understand this program 1000000% better than my professor, mad props
I learned a lot of things from this single video. Would love to know more about photoshop in detail and how to use its different tools for drawing. Just loved it!! Thank you
Excellent work Brad. That was super clear and a joy to watch. Thank you.
Man, all of your tutorials are golden. Consider all of your paid tutorials, sold. Keep it up, Brad for amateurs like me. Thank you. 🙏
I think if you use (live paint bucket ) for coloring, it will make it so much easier
this is exactly the kind of educational video I've been looking for, thanks, subscribed
Thank you for this tutorial! I sketch a lot of ideas for my projects and some turn turn out nice, so I've been wanting to digitize them. This is perfect as you show how to use separate tools together to achieve different effects.
I'm watching this video again and I gotta say you are a fantastic teacher!
Dude, you have a talent not only for drawing but also for teaching! I really enjoyed this video and it was massively helpful!
What a great way to teach, step by step. I have learned so much watching you. You have a great style and easy to follow. Theres is always more than one way to do things with Adobe apps, but the way you make it look is even easier and to the point. Thanks for your videos.
Thanks Brad! Looking forward to doing this in Affinity Designer! Great stuff, as always!
Best one I have ever watched. And boy I have watched a few. You are a great teacher!
Great video. Basically a game changer for me. You've simplified so many things for me.
Wonderful tutorial! Thank you very much for taking your time and sharing this amazing content, Brad!
Thanks!!! You really helped me a lot with Adobe Illustrator, especially when you provide files of sketches.
Thanks for the clear and concise instructions Brad! I learned a lot!
I've seen over a dozen tutorials and this is the one. ⭐
First 30 min video I watched without skipping forward
It's a very friendly and interesting tutorial for newcomers

Best instructional video I have found. Thanks so much for your tutoring.
Absolutely beautiful art from a talented artist! Thanks for sharing AI and PS knowledge.

This is great simple way explaining Illustrator and using Photoshop.. hope you do more of these. They really help.
Man...that was AWESOME...I really enjoyed that..looking forward to trying this...!!👍
Soooooo, this is video is EXACTLY what I needed right now. Like seriously the most perfect search as if my prayer was answered lol. I touched the pen tool yesterday and sat there dazed and confused. I've drawn a few photos that I wanted to clean up but didn't know the best way. This was my answer.
Thank you.
You're always inspiring me to get involved in art. You did it with the video series on " how to draw cartoons " on your other TH-cam channel and now vector art. You're so good . Thank you!
Could you link that series?
Thank you. I found this very useful. I will definitely use the knowledge when using Photoshop or Illustrator.
Thank you SOOOO much for this great video. It showed me a totally new way to do illustrations in a much more efficient and comfortable way!
Exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you!
Your a real drawing teacher
Well I spent so many money for the drawing class but no use. but this vidio change everything because your two channels contains every basics. especially the poses. I love you sir.
So so helpful! Thank you so much! Very clear and thorough. Helps me feel more hopeful about getting the hang of illustrator.
you came at the right time with this video Brad! THANK YOU!
Awesome workflow Brad. I literally never knew you can ctrl click the thumbnail to select the object in PS. I would usually Alt click between layers to lock it.
Such a nice illustration! Loved to watch and learn!! Thank you.
This was one of the best Adobe tutorials I've seen! Thank you! (Also, thank you for NOT having background music in your video ❤)
This is so fun to watch!!! Thanks for sharing this tutorial! It's amazing!

Awesome video, thanks for making something / many things so clear and understandable!!
this opened my eyes for so many things! thanks a lot!
Great Tutorial. I've picked up on quite a bit. Thank you for your content.
What perfect timing! 👍 As if TH-cam read my mind and knew I was contemplating how to bring in my new sketches for a children’s book that I’m illustrating. 🎨 I love to draw and color by hand as well as in AI/PS, but want to be as efficient with my time as I can, of course. Thank you for such a wonderful on point tutorial with no unnecessary verbiage!
Looking forward to exploring your other videos as well. 😊👍🎉
