What amazes me most is the way you keep explaining thoroughly with the same pace for 45 minutes (1 Hour or more IRL ), man that's unbelievable
yes exceptional
Thanks, man. I always appreciate comments like this
like! it was thoroughly enjoyable all through! @tutvid!
@thesimpledesigners 🗣🗣Facts...!!😂🤦🏾♂️ He the Goat🙅🏾♂️
Amazing yet, it renders the tutorial useless
I love the fact that he made all this with premade shapes with little editing to shapes and bucket fill I love it..
I just created this and I've got to say, I've never made anything as good as this. You really helped me understand illustrator alot more. Thank you!!!!
Hey, just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed your comment! It's so important to let people know you liked the result of their hard work! Keep spreading the love!
link for download please....thank you...
I'm a graphic design major and I've struggled with how people create those amazing pieces. You really explained a lot of techniques to me and I'm so grateful! I love your videos, thank you so much. :D
This is totally, totally AWESOME!!! Thank you so much. I was really missing these long format tutorials.
Can't state how much I love this detailed tutorial, definitely one of the best I've seen, and I love how thoughtful you are to attach the guide and color scheme below.
Your video pace is PERFECT. Just fast enough so I don't zone out, but slow enough so I can understand everything you're doing!!!
Thank you so much, your videos are exactly what I was looking for.
I downloaded Illustrator yesterday and you just taught me so much! I was feeling so overwhelmed but now I feel like I have a decent grasp on the basics and I have a really cool piece of art to show for it! Your tutorial was amazing, even for someone with literally 0 experience in AI. Thank you!!
how are you doing now with AI?
First thing the Illustrator teacher taught us: You will never know everything in Illustrator.
I actually took 2 courses of illustrator but the tutorial really helped me put these tools to practice as opposed to just knowing them, and I even learnt a few tricks and commands. Thank you so much!
this is awesome, I followed this tutorial for over 3 hours and learned lots of tools and techniques, thank you.
Well done Nathaniel, that was great! enjoy ya weekend man!!!
Amazing tutorial, the way you use the gradient, blend mode and opacity, and the way you explain everything so carefully are definitely awesome!!! Love it
Thank you, you made my day I actually did this at work because as a designer I felt like I am losing my skills because of the dull work routine. 10/10 would watch, 10/10 explaination, 10/10 sense of humor.
Easily one of the best paced tutorials for an intermediate. Great way to refresh skills and update methods. Thanks very much.
This tutorial is by far the most helpful I've found. You explain everything so clearly. I find a lot of people doing tutorials get bored and skip over certain parts making it hard to follow but your tutorial is great! I'm about to hit the subscribe button. Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial
Just found this and loved it☺️ I‘m using illustrator since yesterday haha and watched your tutorial at 0,5x speed to really follow along but it worked and the result is amazing. Thanks for sharing🙏🏼
I wanted to take a sec to really thank you for this tutorial, your attention to detail is unparalleled in the videos I've seen. I'm 2/3 of the way through this vid, and I'm actually pleased with how my illustration is turning out. Instead of wondering why my design doesn't look like yours and trying to back step like I do in most vids, my picture looks identical to yours. It's really helping me in familiarizing myself with all of the tools within Illustrator. I will definitely be looking into more of your videos and subscribing. Thank You!

"Lets set opacity to overlay
And the blend mode lets make it around 20%"
Great tutorial !
When I started using the pathfinder tool, I learned that there really is more to life!
Never in my life did I think an artist would have so many numbers in his head.
my graphic design teacher set me up with a good 5 or 6 part tutorial explaining each and every tool and how to use it, and just beginning illustrator, i decided to jump right into it and this tutorial helped me so much :)) thanks the resulting image is beautiful
the work flow during your photoshop tutorials are so clean, in illustrator i was surprised you didn’t group objects more than you did
2 years later but your tutorial was AMAZING, just created this and I love it
This is my first work with Illustrator and i looooved this tutorial ! I did watch it at 0,75 speed and paused the video a lot but it was really great and well explained. Thanks !
i am in the same boat as you!! :)
Thank you so much. This was my first illustrator project. I did it over 3 days. Followed every single step. Enjoyed it a lot. Thanks. Will do more.
took me about 2 hours + watching it at 0.5 speed and frequently pausing but amazing tutorial! very easy to follow along and amazing outcome! thanks!
This was a wonderful tutorial! I knew a bit of the basics, and wanted to build something a bit more elaborate, and this was the perfect place to start :) All the concepts were explained beautifully and I will definitely be checking out more of this channel
As an illustrator and motion gfx artist myself, looking to expand my styles, I found your work flow very interesting. Gradients are always a mare in Ai, so thanks for the ideas to better manage my layer comps :) Cheers!
You explain ALL OF THIS so well. Thank you.
Wow, I really learned a lot in this video: I just finished an Illustrator course but did not engage the Mask option (only in PS!)! The gradients of the 2 suns at the beginning, as well as the transparency + blend mode use in the pink planet look astonishing! Thanks for this great tutorial!
Great tutorial. I used to use Adobe Illustrator CS6 a lot when I was in college 3 years back because I had two subjects called Typography & Graphic Designing. Then once those were over, I stopped using Illustrator for a long time, but recently decided to pick it back up again and this tutorial is the first I used to brush up on my skills. Had some hiccups along the way (cause the software was acting up and not giving me certain options I needed to use) but I found my way around it. Thank you for the step by step tutorial. Much appreciated!
AMAZING!! At first sight I thought you would use extremely rare illustrator tools but it is kinda simple LOVE IT!!
thorough … detailed … concise … no-nonsense approach … this is how tuts should be … allowing the person viewing to learn as much/little as they can encompass … also, s'nice how you edited/magnified certain tool-frames for visual acumen … giving you well-earned five outta' five stars, nate … thanks for the exc!
I just did this tutorial in Graphic. Worked well! Masking apparently works quite differently compared to Illustrator, so I had to find a workaround. Also had to manually create all the colors, which was easy anyways. Blending modes look a bit different too, despite the same names. The end result looks very similar though.
Thank you so much for the tutorial!
For those who can't make rounded shape for the stars, you can just simply select the point that you want to make it round using direct selection tool, and then click "Effect" -> "Stylize" -> "Round Corners"
just did this and i'm amazed at how beautiful it is and how relatevely simple it was
Just finished this tutorial after 6 hours lol I learned a lot from it tho, and I'm really excited to know I can do this. Thank you man! your tutorial is great!
This was really nice!! I've been trying to learn Illustrator for quite a while and your videos are absolutely awesome
Finally found a channel where the tutor actually explains each step...other channels just put music behind the scene which is just a killer. So thank you!
everything you say or explain is so "easy" and clear it hurts
never seen a teacher doing better than this thank you so much
Absolutely awesome! Thank you so much! You've covered so many techniques here I wanted to learn and I appreciate it.
I wasn't able to keep up at even 0.75 dude so much respect I learned so many new things today
You're the Andrew Kramer of Illustrator tutorials. Nice vids!
Loved the pace... had to watch you twice... incredible tutorial... I just learn 45 new things in 45mins!
OMG, I learned a lot of techniques after watching this video. Thank you so much for sharing the invaluable skills for everyone
Thank you so much! I was able to follow the tutorial and made an exact copy! I also did learn a lot of stuff from just watching this video and have never used Illustrator. I learned stuff like gradients, aligning, layers, and so much more! Thank you so much!
:REWired how u not struggle with the curves
This taught me SO many new AI skills - thank you for the great tutorial! (:
You honestly have perfected the video narration process. Legitimately professional commentating.
This video is amazing, this would be the perfect crash course for anyone trying to get to grasps with the basic fundamentals of Illustrator as well as using more of the basic tools on a more in depth level. I'll definitely be trying this. Thank you for this.
The Masking part of the circles is where I've lost it, But somehow I managed using the Shape Builder Tool. BDW great tutorial, Thanks good man
Yeah i feel its better to use shape builder tool instead of mask tool. Masking tool is too confusing tbh!
@@vittesh I agree, I used shape builder tool for almost eveything, kind of feel like he just likes to complicate himself.
yeah I kept booming WHY NOT SHAPE BUILDER WHYYY XD
@@zairnermuller4960 Or he just knows how to use a mask and knows how it works.
I love he talks to the tools like their his kids. Like "hey look, son. Just change the fill color, alright? thanks. Love dad"
Thank you for this tutorial. While I had to make adjustments for an earlier form of Illustrator, I still managed to complete this.
I don't think you understand how profoundly you've helped me. Thank you!
Thanks, this was an awesome tutorial. I just wish I could do it on my own...maybe one day if I can keep up with your help. Finishing this was very satisfying!
It's really possible to master Illustrator on your own. With so many great tutorials on youtube like this, you really can do it!
Let me know how you're feeling about your learning progress?
wow wow keep uploading this kind of Illustrator tutorial 😍 love it
Absolutely!
Learned a lot in this tutorial about what Illustrator is capable of and what people use to get certain effects. Thanks so much! The only part that got a bit confusing was the masking section, but I was able to get through it by rewatching that section a few times.
Obsessed with your tutorials! Making my way through them all :) thanks!
created it side by side as told us to do
took me like 3hrs but was definitely worth it !!!
really enjoyed it thank you so much, man!
Followed the tutorial and it came out great! I wanted to create a similar vector illustration, but wasn't quite sure how to go about it. My Illustrator pieces are usually so disorganized and I regret it later when I have to go back and adjust things. So I appreciate the clean up tips a lot in this video.
link for download program please....thank you...
I only found your channel tonight but I'M LOVING IT!!!!!!!
Thank you so much, you have no idea how much just this single video has helped me
i've watched all your illustrator tutorials and this one is definitely my favorite!!😍😍😍
It's rather impressive that you managed to recreate such an visually striking artwork. The only problem I had with your video that it was unclear and I had to zoom my computer several times to read the smaller numbers better. It's still impressive on how you kept on with the video, and I imagine you would had gotten bored by 10 minutes.
Even I am making something different
Who else watched this at 0,75x speed?
Maybe it's little too fast but OK
omg... i wish. idea for next time.
2x to be honest...
@@SamuelHumeau31 2x for me
@@hiroin9286 A little too fast?!? lmao. Dude's on a hint of crack fumes what are you talking about?
This was THE BEST Tutorial video I've seen on TH-cam.and I watch a lot of them.
great job man.
Only been watching around two minutes so far, and I am amazed on what you know you can do with illustrator compared to me...its incredible.
Awesome man !
Thanks, Manas Singh!
Took me an hour and a half or so. This was my very first project with Illustrator!
That's great! I hope it turned out well 🙌
@@tutvid It really did! I'm just binge-watching all your Illustrator tutorials ever since! Made a bunch of them already and I'm learning just from these tutorials!
Keep up the awesome work!😇
first time using illustrator and this video was perfect in showing how to use tools in the program and apply them to create an illustration, this taught me a lot about the program. thank you:)
Loving your tutorials, Nathaniel. Let's gooooo!
“And we will bring this bad boy to the front”
He's so cute
When he said that I immediately liked the video and added it to my illustrator playlist
I'm trying to follow this tutorial and I'm like: slow down mate! XD
this tutorial is *amazing* . i just knew adobe illustrator exist yesterday and played around with it lmao, saw this tutor and tried it. took like 3 hours but succeeded uwu
wonderful tutorial! i just tried my first attempt on illustrator and this video was so simple and easy to understand. Thank you very much!
I know this is like 2 years old - I just started my Illustrator journey (passed a course) and came here after that and this was so fun :)
Same😄
You released this tut the same hour (no joke) i found these kind of illustrations on pinterest and i was wondering the proccess of making them. You are a little god. Thank you so much
haha, sometimes we have a happy little accident
"a happy little accident"
that rings way too many *different* bells
I have never watched any tutorials that's longer than 10 minutes. And you sir, with your quick and comprehensive explanation/guidance makes this tutorial absolutely engaging. I love exploring more skills on Adobe and I definitely learned a lot. Thank you sharing your knowledge! 💗💗💗
Thanks for the kind words!
This video is incredible! I was engaged the entire 45 minutes; I had wanted something where I could watch and learn different things about Illustrator without necessarily having to follow along myself and this was perfect. Thank you for making these!
"We will make it look good" it was looking good all the time
I kept having the urge to hit "Com + S" while watching this!
I love that energy he keeps even after almost 45mins of video. Great content!
Honestly kudos to people who have this kind of original, artistic ability. I envy you.
Did you ever think about animating this project? I think you could do a lot of interesting effects with it.
CAN'T DOWNLOAD COLOR SWATCHES FROM THE TUTORIAL? TRY THIS! 🔽
I took a screenshot at the timestamp 18:56 where he shows the color library and then you just use the color drop tool to make the color swatch library yourself lol Work smarter not harder 😂
from all the adobe packages I've always kinda left illustrator on the side, so I'm diving into it lately. thank you so much for this dude! Your voice is superchill to listen to and you explain stuff at the right pace, I was able to follow everything you did and I'm super happy with the outcome! looks/feels amazing!
Hey, why do you want to learn how to work with illustrator? Just for yourself or are you're looking to pursue a career as an illustrator/designer?
Thanks for the great tutorial, really gets you practicing and learning how to use a variety of tools.
3:35 ctrl+c, ctrl+f 2x
I can't open the color scheme in the description
Amazing tutorial! Surprisingly, I didnt get bored! You're quick, no wasted time
OMG! it's really unbelievable! I try to follow your instructions and as a beginner, it took me almost 12 hours to finish. lol. but it's worth! thank you
creating the ring's shadow is so difficult for me.. I'm getting confused among mask layers and all.....but until then i was successful in everything...
the ring shadow color not changing after changed to normal opacity
This tutorial is great and goes through many useful tips and tricks, although I find the structure confusing. You are an advanced illustrator, that much is clear, but as a beginner it's not clear to me what you have in mind when you go about your workflow. You first make alot of line-work which you repeatedly say is going to look great when it's apparently a mess of white lines. It's hard to follow because I can't visualize what parts will look like what when they only resemble lines. I think it would be better if you made every element into completion in turn, like first the glass globe, then the moons, then the rings, and so on, because then we would see how all the techniques work together in making the elements, rather than having unfinished elements that you "will come back to". Since I'm following along the tutorial on illustrator, I will have to make random circles and then saving them for later without knowing their purpose.
Ok that might have been long winded, but I just wanted to give some constructive criticism. Your tutorial is very in-depth otherwise and very useful!
It's clearly not for fresh illustrator people.
But I agree with you.
You can still learn a lot from this.
@@AdrasHoriaGaming yes, it wasn't the content that of, but the structure.
I can agree with you here, but in the same time I think as a beginning graphic artist you also should get used to this way as well, you might find it hard to understand at first but overtime you'd get used to it and it'll only benefit you in the long run.
Not trying to invalidate your criticism at all, because I admit it could get very confusing if you're first starting out, however there are many videos out there catering to beginners, maybe try them out first and come back to more advanced videos once you get a better hang of this.
I agree, too. I've been teaching myself Inkscape, and now taking up Illustrator. After watching tons of tutorials, it's interesting how each designer has their own workflow. I think setting up all the lines, all at once, is a bit overwhelming. But thankfully, there's the pause and rewind button. ha ha. Seriously, my workflow would not resemble his. Again, we're all different.
That's because this tutorial focuses much more on hand holding than on the artistic side. Notice how he uses numbers whenever possible for rotating objects, setting their size etc. That's so this can be followed step by step like a coloring book, no room for error. Because of that the video feels sterile in the creative and artistic side of things, the problem is magnified by the fact that the artist doesn't explain where the picture is going or why things are where they are. As you said through the process he assures things will make sense and look good later on but that does little for the viewer to grasp why he's doing what he's doing it when he's doing it.
Thank you for such an amazing tutorial! I have been working with softwares for a year now but you taught me new tricks. love your work!
Every time I see new video notification from you in my inbox it’s like Christmas all over again. I get SO excited with each video and you never disappoint!! 👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️
Bob Ross of illustrator lmaoooo
Nah, he didn't beat the devil out of his brush sets.
Hey, I am having some difficulties with the Align tool. It doesn't align the rectangle at all, like I click to align and the tool doesn't do anything. Do you know why is that happening? Thank you so much :)
Hey, just find right after this comment. Thank you! I really like your content. I am starting to use illustrator more and your channel is really helping me to learn new things through the projects that you create. Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words, AlexTML!
Happens to me too... =/
Think you may have to align to artboard?
Click artboard in the top toolbar arrow, then will align with it
Fantastic tutorial! Thanks a million. This was super fun to make!
In love with your simple explanations
Brain: No problem
My laptop: hell no (shutting down)
My hand:
Thanks for this tutorial!
It must be take me about a year to finish it 😂
I've been doing a bunch of your tutorials this past week in illustrator, so happy to have seen this one uploaded today! Thanks tutvid
Thanks for watching!
