30 Best Illustrator Drawing Tutorials of 2010

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.
