Below is a list of the ones that I’ve found to be most useful for learning new techniques and brushing up on the tool sets found in Illustrator.

    After spending so much time in Photoshop, it just seems like a burden for me to take time and learn how to use Illustrator. However it really is a powerful piece of software, and it was around before Photoshop was even on the market.

    Hi,

    Thanks a LOT for this list. I have used Photoshop for years, and have decided to start using Illustrator, but finding it really difficult to get the hang of at the moment.

    But these look great, and I think they will help. thanks a lot :]
