he draw some basic shapes and talked about nothing for 15 minutes. If this is what you are learning, go do something else dont try to be a designer. This is kindergarden stuff.
Draplin is also a weapon of mass creation and the Swiss Army knife of creativity!
That workflow! Gotta love this bear!
Draplin feels like a normal guy Nothing is forced I like it.
So happy to see this as a graphic artist
Stretching that type made me shiver!
nice!i didn't know about the up and down arrows on those tools!
Awesome stuff, Aaron! Thanks!
Man, how can you not love Draplin? I'd imagine even if you aren't a designer he's impossible not to like.

86Corvus well you sound like a major bummer and someone too high on their horse to be fun and exciting to work with
You're a great designer and a great human being!
Lol I love this presentation. To the point!!
amazing video, very informative and easy to digest !!
Thank you for the symbols Aaron!
15 minutes of Illustrator without hitting SAVE = I'm on the brink of a panic attack. Great work as always Aaron!

Aaron is the BEST. He is correct too...Gene Simmons can suck it. LOL
9:09- If i make the shape, what do I need to do to click and drag it into a smaller size?
You can make a nice heart shape with the two intersecting ovals.
Soooo many shapes
hahahah kizz h8 @6:19 I
Does anyone know how he makes his tools extend to the right so you can see all of them?
2000th like! This video was fucking amazing! Learned so much!

@@paulvansommeren Yeah I figured that by slowing down the video lol. I thought he was using some key, like shift for proportional scaling, opt from center and such. Thanks anyway!
Coolest guy ever
Don't ever stretch the typo, kids. Or make logo bigger.
Got extra dark at 6:30 😭🤣😭✌️
when he grabs an existing shape then drags and it makes a new one, how is he doing that?

You had me at “Gene Simmons can suck it”
"Use the grid to your advantage"
What’s up my fellow graphic designers
Liking the video only for that Kizz comment lmao
Speaking of Gene Simmons, from EVERY story I have heard, he is an absolute tool. (There are other words I could use,but that is the most polite.)
CorelDraw gives up.
I respect your opinion on KISS, but, RUUUUUUUUDE!!!!!!!! Lol Gene Simmons as a person I'm not a fan of. KISS as musicians aren't the best. But they're PERFORMANCE SKILLS are BOMB!!!!! IMO at least
