Features

Here is a snapshot of what we will be covering in the course, with a more detailed curriculum a bit further down the page.

The Fundamentals

We begin the course by installing Adobe Illustrator for the first time, before learning how to navigate the workspace, whilst creating a variety of different shapes.

Drawing Techniques

The course demonstrates a wide variety of tools and techniques for drawing, including the Pencil Tool and the infamous (but often feared) Pen Tool.

Text and 3D Graphics

Whether it's getting creative with fonts, typing along a path, or making a typographic design into a 3D graphic - this and so much more, is covered in the course.

Brushes and Patterns

Brushes and patterns aren't just for artists! There's a lot of clever ways to use brushes in Adobe Illustrator that will save designers a lot of time and frustration.

Advanced Effects

Adobe Illustrator is capable of creating an array of visually impressive effects, whilst still keeping things like the text and font properties fully editable.

Images and Exporting

Working with images, integrating with Adobe Photoshop, or turning sketches into digital vector art, these are all features that are unique to Adobe Illustrator.

The most efficient way to learn Adobe Illustrator in 2024

This course will teach you everything you need to know to master Adobe Illustrator. This includes all of the essential tools and techniques that I've learned over the last 17 years working as a professional designer, and this is hands-down the fastest way on the planet to learn Adobe Illustrator, in it's entirety from the ground-up.

Learn from my mistakes instead of repeating them yourself

This was my biggest mistake, trying to learn Adobe Illustrator by myself, and by just watching free tutorials. Sure it's worked out pretty well... 17 years later! However, it absolutely does NOT take 17 years to learn what I'm able to teach you right now. So with this course and my full support, you will learn virtually everything I know about this incredible design software in a matter of days and hours - rather than spending years watching endless tutorials.

Dansky's Adobe Illustrator Masterclass is not just any ordinary course. It offers an abundance of value with 71 comprehensive lessons that provide in-depth instruction. Dansky has done an exceptional job in putting together this course, and the community support he provides is excellent. As a relatively new Illustrator user, this course has been a game-changer for me, and I highly recommend it. The investment is well worth it.

This is the best course ever! I learnt everything I needed to know for Adobe illustrator and Dansky's voice is as smooth as organic butter from cows on a hill in Switzerland!! He teaches in a way that is super easy to follow and speaks very clearly. I especially love that there are challenges to take part in and Dan is there to give his feedback and any extra help if needed. Looking forward to hopefully more courses by Dan in the future.

Super cool!!! This course is great for people at all levels. I’m a beginner and I’m learning a ton. I was trying to piece together info from videos and tutorials online but I wanted more structure, and this is it! He packs so much info into his lessons. The information builds throughout the modules in a natural way. He is also very active and responsive and supportive in the forum. Great value!

This course is a fantastic resource for both beginners with no prior knowledge or experience in designing in Illustrator as well as those more experienced designers looking to enhance their knowledge of the application. Dan is a very charismatic instructor. He does a fantastic job of comprehensively going over all the different tools and techniques in Illustrator (old and new), when and how to best utilize those tools, and the best ways to combine different techniques to create your own magic. The course is structured really well. The lessons are easy to follow and each lesson is full of valuable insights and feels fun and engaging. Dan is also very active on the course's community platform and regularly provides feedback and answers questions posed by the members. I can’t say enough good things about this course and what a great return on investment it’s been personally for me.

I have been following Dansky on youtube for a while now. His teaching style is really great. I knew that the masterclass would be amazing.
After enrolling and going through a couple of modules so far, it has exceeded my expectations. After each module there is a challenge that makes you apply the skills you have learned. You get access to a member's community where you can interact with others and get design feedback. Dan promptly replies to any question you might have.
I was looking for an advanced class because I thought I knew the basics of Illustrator, but Dan is teaching me new things everyday.
I absolutely recommend this class, whether you're a novice or a master, you will definitely be learning something. It is a great value for money.
