Starting with zero previous experience with this software, I now truly feel like I have a solid handle on the AI features on the iPad after completing this course! Excellent instruction and exercises to put the new skills I learned into practice. Definitely recommend for those of you wanting to learn the basics of this program.

I am so glad that I took this course. I was at a point where I was getting ready to give up on graphic design. Still, this course really helped me understand Adobe Illustrator for the iPad and I'm thankful that Martin could create the course and fill it with content broken down in a digestible fashion!

That is a good and thorough explanation. However, it was sometimes hard to follow what features Martin used on the interface. I had to go back and force to understand how he handles certain tasks. I wish there could be a way to highlight these on screen to make it a visual clue.

It is a good match for me because up until this course, I only know some basic parts in illustrator, and with this course, I'm uncovering more valuable functions of each individual tools and its very useful value to a drawing or illustration. Although, I would like to see more features added to this great app, this course has just made it possible for to appreciate the app itself because compared to its big desktop brother, I'm still on the fence as to how I can fully appreciate the iPad version of this app, which I feel it could be further improve to equal it's big brother, like maybe adding more brush selections going forward with its future updates.

It would be so-so helpful if the course would finish with a real-life project with detailed tasks and rules which you should follow and the instructor to make a separate video with his approach so if any questions appear you can follow along. But, yes, it's a good course to start with.

Not much to say that hasn’t already been said. But I pretty much buy any course with Martin’s name and have never been disappointed. I love the fact that Adobe has developed the AI app for the iPad and Martin does an excellent job explaining how to use it.

Started good, but 1/4 way through, I find that the Lama drawing are missing (its not in the recourse files), so I had to draw it my self without knowing how. Really fustrating.. Now all the layers and path and strokes are one giant mess, making the rest of the course unusable.
By Sophia Autengruber on 1/19/2021
Absolut klasse!!!! Martin ist wirklich der Hammer, er kann es so einfach erklären, dass wirklich jeder mitkommt !! Das ist schon der zweite Kurs von ihm den ich durchgehe, zwei weitere kommen noch, auch schon gekauft, weil ich einfach weiß wie kompetent er ist ! Auf jeden Fall weiterzuempfehlen;)
By Heather Timm on 1/1/2021
I am absolutely LOVING this course. I've done LOADS of training on Adobe products (both online and offline) and I have never experienced a course that's so straightforward, easy to understand and follow, and straight to the point. I'm actually going to look at the other courses this guy has to offer as I really rate his teaching style. Really brilliant.
By Tristan Jones on 12/20/2020
I like how every thing is explained and the instructor describes scenarios when the tools would be appropriate. This is valuable info to those who are fresh to graphic design and aren't sure of when to use certain tools. This course has been a tremendous help!
