Your own YouTube Channel! I’ve watched 1.5 before work this morning and I’m sure I’ll watch many more.
Education, and art, too! Is this cool, or what?
I’m very impressed! You’re everywhere, and doing awesome work! Congrats to you, Laura.
Love, Love, Love the swirl video! What a great giveaway!
Checked out a few of your youtube videos – easy to follow and full of lots of great information. Looking forward to more!
I LOVE Laura Coyle’s teaching style. I’ve taken a couple of her classes and have learned so much. I’m so excited for these YouTube videos and a chance to learn some more. A Bamboo Craft would just make it all the more better!! Thanks.
Love your work and your teaching style ;-)
And I would love to win a Wacom tablet, LOL

I love Laura’s videos and tutorials! She explains everything so that it makes sense. I love the scribble alphabet tutorial too! Thanks for the chance to win!
Hi Laura,
I’ve been trying to teach myself Adobe Illustrator (one of my 2011 goals) as I’d love to be able to design my own digital scrapbooking kits, so I am enjoying your YouTube channel tremendously. :)
Cheers for the chance to win a Bamboo Craft!

wow! i am so amazed at this! i have always wanted to use a program like this to draw/paint with but have always been too intimidated to try – this is the perfect way to help others learn about technology, and you make it seem so clear and easy. your confidant words along with the smooth sounds of (your) great jazz make this a place i want to come escape to on a daily basis. thank you for shaing you and your talents with the world, laura…what a gift you have! ~rachel 04.07.2011
I’m taking your Illustrator class– it’s great so far! Thanks for all of your hard work! :)
Laura, your teaching style is great, Im learning lots
Looking forward to watching your new channel, Laura. You’re an excellent teacher and your video content/quality is the best…and a little jazz intro/exit doesn’t hurt either.
Congratulations!! How exciting! I have LOVED all of your classes, so I’m positive I’ll learn a lot from your YouTube channel! I can’t wait to check it out!
Love your youtube channel :) . And can’t wait to see all your videos. I already have the intuo so please do not enter me in the giveaway. Just dropping in to say hello.
What an amazing opportunity! I am excited about your YouTube channel! I am in a self paced class of yours now and loving it! I want to do more hand-lettering myself! Thanks for the chance!
Totally loving your Illustrator class! Thanks for sharing your great talent!
This is wonderful. I love your teaching style. I have learned so much already taking Step by Step. I look forward to checking out all the tutorials on you tube.

Your videos and classes rock! You are an awesome teacher and make everything so simple and easy :) Love the YouTube channel. In 4 mins. I understood the blob brush. Now to upgrade to CS5 so I can use it! (CS3 user)
How exciting! Thanks so much!
These are fantastic! Thank you so much, Laura! Also, you have a great speaking voice.
Fabulous! I so appreciate the kindness of “strangers” and the sharing of knowledge! I am all over those videos! THANK YOU!
Thanks for the chance to win a tablet! After watching the video on hand lettering in illustrator, I really want to try it!
This is absolutely awesome Laura, congratulations! What an achievement!
How exciting, congrats! I am loving your Swirls class, you make the pen tool seem effortless!
Hey there Ms. Laura,
I’ve seen some of your works on Youtube just a moment ago… they were impressive. I would like to say congratulations now that you have your own Youtube channel and showing the community your creative skills and helping them develop theirs as well.
I, myself, have also been wanting to be a good digital artist, but unfortunately… fate drilled holes in my pockets. So the only materials I could dab my paintbrushes are on papers and cardboard and stuff… It’s no biggie, but it ain’t no fun either…
Anyway, don’t forget to celebrate your achievement with much enthusiasm as you draw, and hopefully someday you may expand your community of artists to very high limits.
Thankfully, I’m not too envious of talented individuals like you, but I’m really damn hoping I can reach the heights you guys reached. Congratulations again!
Regards,
Anne
P.S. Sorry for the very long comment (“-_-)…
Your tutorials are great and very helpful to me as I try to learn more about Illustrator. Thanks so much!
Sue

How wonderful! Congratulations! This is so exciting!
Love your short intro videos on YouTube! I will be signing up for your classes ASAP. I have been looking for a class on the Christmas card layouts and yours is great. Thanks so much for providing us was a creative way to learn Illustrator. And yes, I like your intro music also.
this is awesome… I cant wait to watch the videos as they are created… i’ve been hearing stuff about illustrator for a while in the digi community and its gonna be so nice to be able to watch and learn when you want!
Congrats on your new channel!!! Thx to penscrappers for the chance to win a tablet… that would be so lovely to top it all off!!!

I love your classes, Laura! Thanks for all the work you put into them!!!!
Congratulations!
I will definitely be enjoying your new channel, thank you!
Don’t have illustrator but glad to know this resource is available.
Yes… and by the way, I also want to thank you for the tutorials because i recently downloaded a trial of Illustrator and watched some of your tutorials, now I’m learning about vectors and stuff.
I would also like to thank you for the chance to win a tablet. That would definitely be a great help for aspiring digital artists/ graphic designers and for those who are already professionals.
I do hope I get a chance because it’s kinda hard to draw with a mouse; mostly undoing things instead of creating things. Like what they say, practice till you bleed…
Thanks again. (Sorry for double-commenting if it was illegal)

Anne
