[@ForeverDansky]

Awesome! :D

[@CoolGuyDesigns]

Maybe my favorite tool in illustrator. You can add so much character to all of your work.

[@kai8532]

Thank you! Your guides are simple, short and understandable. It's perfect! Thanks again :)

[@ForeverDansky]

You're most welcome Ailrill :)

[@bradconway5611]

I love tutorial videos like this. Short, concise and to the point. Beautiful.

[@nitinkjain8801]

Thank you, Dan, previously before knowing this I suffered a lot in changing width always I had to draw with pen tool now it becomes very easy and handy.

[@KipWolf7]

Your channel is a real gem! Thank you.

[@emerlander]

Crystal clear and to the point. Thanks a lot!

[@zendorojas]

Thanks, Dansky. I think this tutorials are very good for a person like me, that won't delve into the graphic design profesison per se, but will use it do add small perks to my digital designs here and there.
Very concise, but very helpful to get to know the GUI. Many people don't realize that getting to know the GUI is the first step to a successful design, and we seldom take the time to browse around the tools at hand for fear of destroying our art (If I can call it so).
Cheers.
