Great Adobe Illustrator training! I'm a beginner and didn't know how to approach illustrators. Here, the information is given in a very detailed form, where to start, what basic tools you should know at the beginning of the journey. I am glad that I learned about this course. The information content for me is huge!

I am a real fan of online courses and go through everything of interest that I have time for. I had not yet used Illustrator so I had to study the program from scratch. The digital illustration course caught my eye. What was my surprise when after a few hours I was able to draw good icons!
Frank Lewis
