A beginner-friendly Illustrator course with clear lessons on artboards, drawing tools, brush work and text layout. It helped me understand vector design much more confidently.

Very easy to follow and practical. I especially liked the sections on gradients, paths, grouping, scaling, rotation and organising layers for cleaner design work.
