Ditch the frustration and learn Illustrator the smart way.
Most beginners waste years jumping between random tutorials and guessing their way through Illustrator. This course shows you exactly what to focus on, what to ignore, and how to build real, professional-level skills step by step.
Does this sound like you?
You have an idea, but struggle to create it.
You know what you want to make, but turning that idea into a finished design feels messy and frustrating. This course shows you how to break ideas down, and turn rough concepts into polished visuals without guessing.
You want to create professional-level designs.
Instead of relying on random tools or trial and error, you’ll learn the core skills and workflows professionals actually use. That means cleaner work, better results, and designs you fully understand and can confidently refine.
You want to confidently make creative decisions.
Good design isn’t about knowing every feature - it’s about knowing what to do next. You’ll learn how to make confident creative choices so your work feels intentional, consistent, and professionally finished.
It took me years to realise the problem wasn't me, it was how I was learning Illustrator.
I remember years ago, staring at my screen, completely lost. I’d spent hours reading articles and watching Illustrator tutorials but still couldn’t design what was in my head, let alone get it looking good. I kept jumping between tools, following random videos, hoping something would finally click - the process was painfully slow and incredibly frustrating.
Even when I finished something, I had no idea if it was actually any good, and to be honest it all felt like guesswork for a long time.
Well after years of trial and error, I've finally figured it out.
Illustrator isn’t difficult, it’s just overwhelming when you try to learn everything, and in the wrong order. But when you focus on the tools that actually matter, and learn how to use them properly, everything changes.
That’s why I created Illustrator Like a Pro. It’s the course I wish I had on day one. So if you’re new to design or feeling stuck, this gives you the shortcut - a clear path, the right tools, and a way to start creating real pro-level work as fast as possible.
I spent years struggling so you don't have to!

The 8 essential steps to learn Illustrator like a pro.
Step 1
Set up Illustrator the right way from day one.
Learn how to set up Illustrator properly so it actually makes sense. You will understand the interface, tools, panels, artboards, documents, and preferences. This removes confusion early and gives you a solid foundation to work confidently and efficiently from the start.
Step 2
Draw clean, precise shapes with total control.
Master the core drawing tools used by professional designers. You will learn how to work accurately with shapes, paths, anchors, handles, alignment, and snapping. This gives you full control over your artwork instead of fighting messy lines or imprecise shapes.
Step 3
Build complex artwork using shape building techniques.
Learn how professionals construct complex designs from simple shapes. You will master Pathfinder, Shape Builder, compound paths, and advanced construction methods that allow you to create clean icons, illustrations, logos, and graphics with precision and consistency.
Step 4
Use colour, strokes, and gradients properly.
Understand how colour works in Illustrator. You will learn how to apply and control fills, strokes, gradients, swatches, and colour systems. This helps you create artwork that looks polished, consistent, and professional rather than flat or accidental.
Step 5
Create typography that looks intentional and professional.
Learn how to work with type correctly inside Illustrator. You will understand how to set, style, align, modify, and customise typography, including converting type to outlines, adjusting spacing, and combining type with shapes to create strong, well balanced designs.
Step 6
Work with images, patterns, brushes, and textures.
Learn how to combine vector artwork with images, clipping masks, brushes, and textures. You will discover how to add depth, detail, and character to your designs without losing control, making this ideal for illustrations, posters, and branded graphics.
Step 7
Unlock advanced Illustrator features to speed up your workflow.
Move beyond the basics and learn the tools professionals rely on daily. You will work with graphic styles, symbols, patterns, perspective, appearance settings, automation features, and advanced effects to work faster while staying consistent.
Step 8
Design real world projects and export like a pro.
Bring everything together by creating professional level designs such as logos, layouts, and branding assets. You will also learn how to save, export, and share your work correctly for print, web, and clients so your designs always look exactly as intended.
