Spencer goes into essentials of illustrator without getting too deep to bore a beginner. He keeps the basics short and concise but covers up every important point. As this is a course on illustrator basics, do not expect advance stuff, however also do keep in mind that the basics are neatly covered. I am from photoshop background and am quite expert in photoshop, so definitely some of skills are transferred from PSD to AI, however there were many new features quite specific to Illustrator, and this course covers some of them. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend any absolute beginner to AI to see this course.
Great intro course for understanding the basic tools!
