I've changed the name of the livestreams to the much simpler "Draw This in Illustrator". What do you think? I'm also working to make sure that a preview of the content is shown on the thumbnail on the day of the stream so you get an idea of what will be happening and determine if you want to watch or not—although of course I hope you do!

The streams are also now available live on other platforms: LinkedIn, Behance, Facebook and Vimeo, too so you can watch/join in from whatever is your preference. The time of the streams is also now set at 4pm UK time—there's been in change in the voting for more than a week and this timeslot was ahead 63%. :)

The schedule for the Friday "How Do You Draw This in Illustrator?" livestreams has been changed, and the livestream on Friday May 13th will be the first stream to move to 5pm UK time, although this may change to 4pm—vote in the poll to let me know your choice! The poll will be monitored over the next four weeks.

Originally, the streams were scheduled for Friday lunchtimes, in the slot formerly occupied by the Adobe Live (UK) shows, but this is not the best time for my US audience, who form the majority of my subscribers and viewers. Having been in the US over the last week, I've spoken to some of my audience who would really like to participate in the stream while live, without having to rob themselves of sleep, before a working day.

All of my audience are of course important, but adjusting the times in favour of the largest geographical group makes sense and gives them the chance to join in the community—I hope that viewers in the UK, Europe and other regions appreciate that, continue to join every week and welcome new friends.

Thank you for your continuing support—you're all brilliant—and apologies that I didn't manage to get this post out before the day of the first change, but sometimes stuff happens, as we all know.

So, when is best for you for the stream to run? Please vote and give me an idea of what is best for you.

Hope you're all doing well, and staying safe.


Been asked a lot via various channels for some drawing practice videos, at all levels—so here's a new one that is aimed primarily at novice users but anyone could pick up a thing or two, I'm sure! Do give it a look and if you have suggestions or requests for drawing practice videos, then please add them to the comments.

Nice to welcome new subscribers to the channel, and there's been a little spike this month that is probably due to the collaboration with my good friend JesĂşs Ramirez from the Photoshop Training Channel (which you should totally check out if you haven't already).


I really enjoyed doing the collaboration and will be arranging more of those in the near-future.


Last week I did a session for the Adobe Community Professionals community with my top ten "Photoshop Hacks" which included my latest video, turning day into night on a single layer. If you haven't managed to check that out yet, then take a look!

Shuriken Skill #64 answers (reputedly) the most-asked question in InDesign, "How do I set a default font"?
You'll learn how to do exactly that, but you could also set other defaults if you wanted to as well—so make sure to check it out. There's some bonus technical language in there as well so you can impress your friends and co-workers. :D
