When I started drawing again my son gave me the program Illustrator CS3. As I spend so much time on the computer, he thought I would enjoy drawing on the computer as well. The program excited me. There are so many neat things you can do with it. Maybe you can, but I spent more time trying how to figure out how to do something than actually creating anything. I would get frustrated and abandon the program for months at a time, but I kept coming back to it.
I read the manual that came with the program. I bought books guaranteed to make you an expert. I watched the videos released by the company. I was running out of options when I stumbled across a series of videos made by Rick Rice on YouTube. He has published over 70 different tutorials. For a longtime user of Illustrator the lessons are probably too simplistic, but for a beginner like me they’re perfect.
