umm, can we have an Illustrator tutorial category? :P

This is an in-depth beginner tutorial of the Adobe Illustrator pen tool. All you need to get started and a little more (considering you already have illustrator). I want to do a couple more about predicting where curves will go, and how to CG. Depends on how this goes I guess.

This should all work for several versions, maybe as far back as 7.0... I made it in CS and tested it in 10 so I know those work.

I keep my scars from prying eyes incapable of ever knowing why--somebody breath--I gotta have an answer--why am I so fascinated by bigger pictures, better things? But I dont care what you think you'll never understand me

I just got AI CS so i'm definitly downloading this.

I agree with the Illustrator tut. category. I mean, i know thats what the misc. cat. is there for but this way if someone is looking for an Illustrator tut they won't have to search the whole Misc category. Maybe there should be an OC tut category also, i've seen many OC tut out there or peapole asking for one, so that would be helpfull, but that's another thing..anyways.. thnx for this.

this is very similar to the photoshop pen tool, except the bezier curves :)
:iconpwg:
Actually they are the same, including the bezier curves, that's just a technical tidbit they don't tell you in the manuals.

THANK-YOU!

I also enjoy checking out fellow artist made tutorials rather than the yucky included ones that are long and most of the unuseful for very basic things....but anyhow this is awesome. I enjoy how you listed the icons of the tools (always helps when things are unclear) and how indepth your explinations (AS WELL AS THE HAND TIP!!!) I just have one question:

I just got Adobe Illustraor with CS2 and was hoping to use it for making clean lineart...however I'm making it from fully painted scanned art; does it matter or make a difference if I use sublayers or new layers? Anyways I'm going to go experiment, so if that question was strange I'm sorry, this is a new medium for me!
