60 Best Design and Illustration Tutorials & Videos of 2020!

2020 was a bit of a rubbish year overall, but over on Envato Tuts+, we kept publishing our free educational content and even increased our offering of free video courses! So what awesome things did we do in 2020?

2020 was a big year for our YouTube efforts. You may have noticed more and more tutorials and articles have videos accompanying them. People learn in different ways, and we hope to keep on providing both written and video content in the future.
We reached 400,000 subscribers over on our Envato Tuts+ YouTube channel. This is a gain of almost 250,000 subscribers in the past year... crikey! Thank you so much for joining us over there!
All three of our Adobe for Beginners courses hit over 1 million views! Together, they give you almost nine hours of quality free video course education. These free courses are for Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign!
We even began publishing video content on our YouTube channel in other languages. So far Russian, Spanish, and soon German!
Speaking of translations, we hit over 45,000 translations! If you want to be paid to translate content, head on over to our Envato Tuts+ Translation page to find out more.
We continued pushing into more areas of design, including recently posting more content to do with Affinity Publisher and Cricut.

In Envato-specific news, it was also a big year:

Envato has reached over $1 billion in community earnings since the company was founded in 2006! This includes people over on Envato Elements and Envato Market!
Envato reached B Corp status by reinforcing our positive purpose.
We also welcomed our new CEO, Hichame Assi, as our co-founder, Collis Ta'eed, stepped down (we'll miss you!).
