2010
This article was originally posted on August 15, 2008. The 30 tutorials series still remains one of our most popular series on the site. So we’ve decided to do something a bit different with them now. These pages will now contain the best and most current tutorials on learning Illustrator.
So with school starting back we here at Arbenting have put together a complete learning experience that won’t take all semester to get through, and won’t be anywhere near as boring. We have compiled thirty plus Illustrator tutorials that will teach you the nuances and subtleties of the program. Enjoy the list, and remember to take notes.
