    I've used Adobe Illustrator for over 20 years and still learned something new! Thank you for the colour across all platforms tip - super useful.
  • @shanmaxx5
    Daaaang 'transform each' gonna save my life!!! didn't know about that. 🤯
  • I just love this kind of content: informative, no useless bla-bla, and straight to the point. Keep it up...and thanks for sharing, mate!
  • @markjjnstradling
    Hi Dan, your videos never cease to be of use to me as a non-designer business owner using Ai. The Icons, Swatches and Tiling hacks were extremely useful. Thanks very much.
  • @chasebros4948
    Nice. I knew pretty much all of these except merging anchor points with pathfinder. I had no idea that you could do that.
  • @simoharjane7823
    YOU ARE SO GOOD WITH YOUR ILLUSTRATOR CONTENT . LEARNING LOT FROM YOU
  • @mannansheikh715
    Your illustrator's work is wonderful sir, which is very useful for me, thank you. I see and follow your works regularly.
  • Didn’t know I could add all selected colours to the swatches panel! I’ve been adding my colours one by one. I will use that all the time now 😁
  • Brilliant as always!!! I learn SO MUCH every time I watch one of your tutorials. Thanks!!
  • @QuanticDreamer
    Thank you!!! So much graphic design goodness in one video!
  • @suprelame
    Absolutely golden. So glad I decided to watch that. The multiple scale selections is so rad. I used to transform each art board separately!
  • @user-oi5sp7xv5k
    Humbling myself enough to learn more about Illustrator from others was a whole journey for me. Sure, I may know 7/9 "hacks" already, but there were two that I didn't know, and now that I took the time to learn them, I'm going to save SO much more time in the future! Good work Dansky, thanks!
  • Thank you! (I also like the frershness of you doing it in real time. You have jiust saved me hours or frustration with aligning points. Most important though is generating palettes I'm in the middle of a big project requiring that colors across multiple images be consistent but varied. No more recreating color swatches be hand, (though that is also fun).
  • @DavidPeyrouty
    Helpful, like always... Thank you, very much, and long life, to your channel!!!
  • I always, always love learning something new from you after 30 years of using Ai. Thank you Dansky!!!
  • @munequa81
    Just came across your channel and wow! Thank you for all of these time saving tips!
  • @MiRofek
