Learning Illustrator

AiI’ve decided to give Illustrator a second chance since I’ve found that the Flash drawing environment was just not cutting it for me. I tried Inkscape, but it just didn’t feel right. I’ve always steered clear of Illustrator before because I hated how complicated it was compared to Flash, but it appears I am forced to just suck it in.

After a few hours of searching, I found this nice introductory tutorial. I think the “30 days” thing is just a gimmick, but, I do need to learn it in 5 days if I am to finish a project I’m working on. And since I’m familiar on how vector graphics work, and all I really need to do is adjust and learn the more advanced stuff, 5 days seems plausible. :)

I’ve also gathered some nice links regarding Illustrator/vector stuff.
