Illustrator is a wonderful tool. It is often underused, and also a bit underestimated. I think sometimes people can be having so much fun in Photoshop, that they forget all of the awesome things Illustrator can accomplish. So today I’m bringing you a big list of Illustrator tutorials, tricks and tips. I start out with pretty basic tutorials and tips, because it is important to have a good foundation. But, don’t worry, they get much more complex :) And keep in mind when your reading these tutorials, it’s all about picking up on new and interesting processes, techniques, and ideas that you may not have tried yet. Even if you are an experienced Illustrator user, it never hurts to learn new techniques and refresh your memory on some old ones. So I’m hoping you enjoy, and find this useful.
