30 Best Illustrator Tutorials & Articles in 2008

Came across these top picks in a site that I visit 2 a week for info and news. Seen most of the tutorials before during the year but it is nice to have them all in one page. Would recommend number 7 in the list "Using the Pen Tool" as I do this tutorial regularly to keep my speed up using this tool. The link to the site:http://www.vectordiary.com/illustrat...icles-of-2008/

If anyone has a request for a tutorial please don't hesitate to ask.
A Good New Year to all the readers down here in the bowels of TalkGraphics Forum.

Cheers

There are a couple of links here for some Illustrator pen tool exercises.

Thanks Peter.

Will I be able to do the tutorials in Illy 10?

The trial period for CS3 ran out some time ago and the program is far outside my current budget. :)

Bill I would like to upgrade to CS4 but no money to do it with and no chance of the firm I work for supplying me with it.

Thanks for the URL, I marked it.
Here is another Tutorial site that I use. Like it or not Illustrator is a major program used by many. Too bad they don't have the scanner capability like Corel Draw. They want you to use Photoshop with those extra large files.

What a treasure chest of information!

Thanks so much for posting this.

Long time CorelDRAW and XARA user and recently aquired a used Mac that had Illy and Photoshop installed. Love these articles and tuts. Thanks for the links. Already answered my question about disappearing lines when using pencil tool in CS2.

How about the best tutorials in 2010: http://creativefan.com/best-illustrator-tutorials-2010/! A few new good ones here that I have not seen before but also a few old ones which I have seen. Hope some people try a few.
It nice to see a few people have ventured here to the bowels of TalkGraphics!

Illustrator I believe has more tutorials than any other vector software on the web. With Photoshop being #1 over everybody. Of course I think we all know this. It's not unusual for viewers to adopt those Tutorials for other software like Xara, Corel Draw, or Inkscape.

Thanks Albacore. Great links.
