Perfect pacing, covered everything - really broke it down and helped me understand all the tools as initially adobe illustrator can seem so overwhelming. Really great course.
By John McMurry on 1/26/2025
Chris Parker is an inspired educator of design and photography. I was only slightly familiar with Adobe Illustrator back 25 years ago. A lot has changed, and "Parker's" course did not disappoint. I am using AI 2025, and there are significant changes from the 2022 edition of Illustrator. However, I was able to find all the nested panels he describes. Little emphasis is placed on the newer artificial intelligence incorporated in this latest edition. This shortcoming did not make any difference in the utility of this tutorial in Illustrator for Beginners. I highly recommend this tutorial as a quick, relatively painless, but thorough introduction to this very complicated application.

I found it very useful to me till now although I haven't completed all the lessons but so far it's really fantastic

To fast for all the information given. It would be helpful if I had a vocabulary list for each chapter prior to seeing each video. Being an introduction course, meaning the student has not heard of many of the vocabulary the instructor utilizes.
By Stuart Richard Klüh on 5/25/2018
The instructor guides you through the learning process step by step. Also he points out tools and shortcuts throughout the course. That helps a lot remembering them. Great course!
By Donna Abelli on 2/15/2018
Nicely organized and explained thus far. The content is very good.The use of a magnifier is helpful, but dragging it fast while speaking is annoying and made me dizzy! Please slow down the movement so one can better follow. The title of the lesson appears on the upper left of the screen and obliterates the menu bar, which makes it very difficult to see. All that being said, I would definitely take another course from Chris Parker because he knows this product very well! There is a HUGE emphasis on streamlining your workflow by using shortcuts, and I highly recommend that if you take this course, to start implementing these keyboard shortcuts.It is difficult for me to go from a Mac for 30 years to a PC, but the shortcuts should help some. I hope!

This course is providing me with some in-depth explanations that I have not fully understood before. I learned for a couple textbooks in college some years back. I don't think we had so many new tools back then. Learn Illustrator CC is taking me to a new level of training.
By Oddie Ball on 9/5/2017
This course has given me the confidence and foundation to create designs in Illustrator. I’m no longer scared to use the pen tool anymore. I have learned more than I have anticipated. Thank you, Chris!

Amazing lessons! Informative, interesting and easy to follow :) I feel like I am finally understanding everything.
By Shira Medoff on 12/11/2016
