If you are a novice to Illustrator, the WOW! book is a great way to learn the software. The book is packed with great examples and step-by-step instructions.

This book by Gary Poyssick and Erika Kendra is like a mini-internship or summer job at a graphic design firm and will teach you Adobe Illustrator CS3.

We will create the star in two steps. First, we will draw a semi-transparent glow with the Star tool. Then we will build the star from several lines that we will draw with the Line Segment tool.

We will draw the base of our Christmas tree, learn how to use the Brushes Panel to view thumbnails of the brushes and to apply a brush stroke to a path.

In this tutorial for Illustrator CS3, we will draw a Christmas tree on an Artist Trading Card but you can use the same steps for a greeting card. We will use the Pen, Star and Line tools to draw the basic shapes for the tree and then finish the tree with the Blend tool and Ornamental Border brush.

In our last tutorial, we used the Pen tool in Illustrator CS3 to draw the basic shape for our pumpkin project. Now we will use the Pen tool again to draw detail lines to define the vertical sections of the pumpkin, change the stroke weight and apply brush strokes to these paths.

This book is more like an art class. The author, Jeremy Sutton, teaches the technical aspects of Corel Painter X and then goes beyond that to share his hard-earned tips and expertise for digital art creation and production.

This tutorial will introduce you to the Pen tool in Illustrator CS3. We will draw a simple pumpkin shape using only the Pen tool.
