    “Everybody knows how to use Illustrator” Um, no they don’t. I am a beginner, and I need videos to tell me exactly what to do so I can learn. This was a pretty rude comment.

  2. Bawer Bozarslan says:

    I don’t think that beginners would want to learn how to mask, they’d rather learn how to create shapes, how to color them or writing texts or something.

    You can’t insist new born babies to talk before walking right :)))))))

    Certainly I never intended to make you feel stupid! But, I do care about people who are beginners to Illustrator – believe it or not, there are many out there who are relatively new to the software.

    You make people feel like stupid by telling such details as “click and drag it until it’s on the top or just simply arrange it by clicking on” BLA BLA BLAAA!!
    Why don’t you just tell us how to use clipping mask? Everybody knows how to use illustrator, what you’re doing is teaching the tips, not the whole software!!!

    Yes you can make a mask out of a shape you create with the Pen Tool. If you can fill the shape, it can work as a mask.

    Nice. But I have a question. if you were to make your own shape…..using either pen tool or the line tool and join the lines together….can u then use the clipping mask? I have been trying but it says no, and doesn’t tell me why.

    Holy moly! Thank you! I don’t have photoshop so I was trying to cut out an image of a car, and it wouldn’t let me, but your video made it possible. Thank you!
