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.
-
Man I wish Brad does more of these easy to follow tutorials. Underrated art. Underrated youtube teacher.
-
The instructor's clarity and succinctness make his teaching invaluable.
-
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.🙂
-
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.
-
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.
-
This tutorial taught me the Illustrator basics last week, and now I'm on my fourth product design. Thanks sir!
-
I think if you use (live paint bucket ) for coloring, it will make it so much easier
-
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.
-
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 <3
-
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
-
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.

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
-
Im learning Illustrator for college, you have taught me and made me understand this program 1000000% better than my professor, mad props
-
beautifully explained. seriously not joking the way he named and explained each tool was - absolute excellence
-
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.....
-
Watching the character come to life bit by bit is amazing. Thanks for this! You make Illustrator look so easy 🙌🏻
-
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 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!
