Nick Saporito – The Illustrator Explainer Series

The Illustrator Explainer Series is a comprehensive series of 100+ videos where I go over every tool, feature and function in Adobe Illustrator and explain what it is, how it works, and why it’s useful. Think of it as a guided tour, in video format, that you can refer to any time you want and can sign in to ask questions.
