DID YOUR COPY COME WITH THE MANUAL AND BOOK(I BELIEVE EVERY DISC INCLUDIN' BURNT COPIES COMES WITH SOME TUTORIAL)?

BUT TRY gOOgLIN'(OR WHATEVA SEARCH ENgINE) AND LOOK UP "ILLUSTRATOR TUTORIALS" OR "ILLUSTRATOR TIPS", OR WHATEVA KEYWORD WOULD TAKE YOU TO SUCH INFO.
OR gO STRAIgHT TO ADOBE'S SITE AND JUST CRUISE THRU THEY FORUMS. I'M PRETTY SURE THEY HAVE MORE THAN ENOUgH RESOURCES AND LINKS TO PLACES RARELY REACHED.

If you want to use illustrator and be a pro. Scan in a face card from a deck of playing cards. Trace the whole thing completely and after that you should be able to trace anything in illustrator

HANgMAN,
IT'S FOR WHATEVA YOU WANT TO USE IT FOR. YOU CAN DO DESKTOP PUBLISHIN', ALBUM COVERS, FLYERS, MASK AN ILLUSTRATION TO WHATEVA SHAPE VECTOR, LOgOS, gRADIENTS OR gRADIENT MESHES. BASICALLY, YOU HAVE THE TOOLS TO PERFECT WHATEVA IT IS YOU TRYIN' TO PERFECT WITH POINTS AND LINES(VECTORS).

^IS THAT HOW YOU LEARNED?

Yup. Its a real good way to learn how to us the pen tool, anchor points, and bezier curve.<<<Dint now how to spell it. But yeah its a real good learning process

^SOUNDS LOgICAL.

HANgMAN,
IN ILLUSTRATOR, THE MASKS ARE USED TO CROP OUT WHATEVA SHAPE TO A COLOR OR WHATEVA RASTERIZED PICTURE OR ILLUSTRATION.

In a nutshell, use Illustrator for vector graphics like if you're creating a logo or whatever ( cartoons and such ). Photoshop is for image editing and shit like that. I'd do a search for " Photoshop Vs. Illustrator ". Theres a few good comparisons out there explaining the difference between the two.
