Rightly named, Adobe Illustrator is one of the best software programs (some would argue the best) for drawing illustrations. The Pen Tool can be difficult to learn but incredibly useful for tracing or drawing images once mastered. The Live Trace feature saves so much time when tracing very detailed images. There are a number of amazing tools and features available in Illustrator (warp, symbols, gradients, 3D effects, and the list goes on), so many in fact that Illustrator takes much practice to really know what incredible design feats you can accomplish.
This is why completing tutorials is so important. You can learn skills and shortcuts from other designers that you may never learn on your own. Plus, tutorials are a nice excuse to break away from the dull side of a designer’s life to have fun, yet you can still chalk up a tutorial as education. So, with this in mind, here some of the best Illustrator tutorials from last year that teaches awesome drawing techniques. Have fun learning!
