    2. You'll see a window containing all your tools
    3. You'll find the arc tool there
    4. You can drag and drop it to your Shape tools collection for future use

    Hi I´m Gaston from Argentina. Even tough English is not my native language your prononciation is so perfect that I could learn from you everything I couldn´t from Spanish speakers. You are so great teaching. I had litteraly no Idea of Illustrator, only photoshop. I love How you cut straight to the point and you didn´t make me loose any second of my life. Every minute of your course is pure gold. Thank you very much

    I've just watched this entire video in one sitting and even though new to Illustrator understood so much thanks to the clear guidance. Having applied a few of the points from the video to my first experimentations in Ai alone so much has stuck already and the power of the program is clear to see. I've now discovered you've already posted a 2024 beginners guide so that will be my next binge watch. Over the coming days I'll be 7+hours into your videos but won't regret a minute of the time at all. Great Video(s) thanks again!

      Ever heard of Art College?!?
      I study Art too and, yeah, we do not really learn so much technical stuff in class, but we learn to important stuff, means we learn how to come up with good project concepts. The realisation of the Project is important too, but it s usually enough to learn the basics of a Software in class and then ask your teacher for help and Tutorial recommendations, that Help you with special Things, you need for your project.
      Of course, I can understand, why people think, you can learn stuff like Software by yourself, but - how I said - learning the Software ist not the hard part, learning the Skill to create good art is what you go to College for.

    I Have spent my entire day watching these videos. They are FANTASTIC! I start school in 2 weeks to go for a graphic design degree. Ive watched so many other videos of these adobe apps and have struggled to understand alot of whats going on, but you sir are a great teacher. Already watched the inDesign course as well as this one and i went into the inDesign course not even knowing what the software was used for. Now i feel like i could confidently go into it and create layouts. Great job sir, thank you for your contribution. 👌🏻

    For me this course was exactly the right pace with enough clicking on your own to keep interesting as well, all superclear instructions. Loved it. Have experience in Photoshop and Indesign so already quite familiar with the Adobe interfaces.

I feel like I now know how other professional artists do vectors, it's less harder than I thought when you know the basics, even with basic knowledge you can already make popping good illustrations or artwork with AE illustrator tools, it's ridiculous, even if your bad at art AI will help make it look good for you.
