I am looking to get into using Illustrator, I have it on my computer and was wondering if anyone can recommend a site with alot of beginner tutorials, I am quite goo din photoshop so hoping it is quite similar.

 

I have had a play around and can't really do to much with it.

A great way to get started with the pen tool: http://veerle.duoh.com/blog/comments/illus...tool_exercises/

 

Some other tutorials from Veerle: http://veerle.duoh.com/blog/archive-summar...hop-Illustrator

 

And some "basics" tutorials from tutorialised: http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorials/Illustrator/Basics/1

 

When I got started though, I used the inbuilt adobe tutorials... I don't know if they still have them but they always used to!

Thanks alot, yes they have the in built tutorials and I will be suing them, but you can never know to much:)

 

**Off Topic**

 

I have been playing around in Xara Xtreme Pro and it is a good program for basic tasks, nothing compared to photoshop etc but avery nice program noe the less.
