Excellent work, excellent.
I'm especially happy that now you make Illustrator tutorials because I also started to learn it, and the Demonstrator videos aren't working: when it tries to open a file the demonstration crashes because the target file's destination is corrupt (EÉűrogramokűAdobeűAdobe Illustrator CS2űDemonstratorűcontentűfilesűControlPaletteDemo.ai for example).
That's why I'm especially happy that you share your Illustrator knowledge.
Thanks again!

To record my screen I use a little application called Camtasia Studio and you can even download a fully functional 30 day trial at the link provided if you like.
As to sounding like your art teacher, well that’s all part of my evil plot to strike fear in the heart of today’s youth.
I guess it worked!
Thank you so much for the comment and please have a happy day,
Barry

thanks! theres so many little things i didnt know.
i have a quick question, how can you change the color of the normal black to white gradient to, for example, red to blue, or any other 2 colors?

Yep I'm always learning new things about Illustrator myself since It’ss not really my strongest point.
As to changing the color of a gradient however [link] might just help answer that.

As always your tutorials teaches me something new. The opacity mask looks to be a really handy feature. It never crossed my mind that this effect can be done in Illustrator.

Thanks. I'm glad that they have helped a bit. People have been asking for movies on Illustrator So I'm trying to submit a few but I really need to brush up on it my self.
Thank you as always for the comment and please have a great day.

They finally added new features.
