Ferst Takes

My name is Gary Ferster and I’m a digital artist with over 25 years of experience specializing in illustration, photo retouching, animation and design for print and online media. I am also an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) in Adobe Illustrator. 

My work has been featured in many magazines and books including every volume of “The Adobe Illustrator WOW! Book by Sharon Steuer” (latest version 2nd Edition for AI CC 2019) and I am also a contributing writer and editor.

Ferst Takes is my ferst(!) YouTube channel where I’ll be sharing all the tips, tricks, and techniques I've learned in Adobe Illustrator going way back to the early versions of the program.
