List of resources for Illustrator

[phantasm]

Hi all,

Over the past 6 months, I compiled a comprehensive resource of Illustrator links. I hope you find it of use:

Great resource phantasm, finding good illustrator resources is hard. the web is full of sites dedicated to just about every other piece of software so this will prove useful to may I would think.

Hi Justin,

Glad you found the pages of use.

I also found that 3rd party support pages were scarce considering the usage of the program. Photoshop seems to be spoilt with websites dedicated to it.

Thankfully, the tide seems to be turning now with the introduction of sites such as this :)

Thanks. I've recently updated the lists (http://www.phantasmcs.com/links/index.html) with the launch of Phantasm CS Designer and Studio as I found some great new tutorial sites, etc.

Glad it's of use! :)

I think there were a couple of possibilities missing from your list. Though some great new ones I was not aware of. Here is my favorite list (some again not exclusive to Illustrator) and some overlap with yours. A couple you missed are Adam Hay's appclinic -see below and also there is stuff from Anton Peck (He just started doing some Illustrator podcasts - and the site has been down temporarily but may be worth looking at):http://antonpeck.com/artcas

Cari Jansen and Mike McHugh (Creative Sweet TV) from Australia are Adobe ACES covering Illustrator and other apps. Cari has a few video and written mini-tips (or some such name) that I have found useful:http://carijansen.com/index.php.

Lastly I cannot remember if you had: http://www.illustratortips.com/index.php on the list. The fellow running this is local and I have met - though there has been no new material for a long time here. Some early useful material there though.

Some are podcasts sites, some Forums and some free to join tutorial sites.

Many thanks for all those pointers. Some were definitely new to me. I've added these to the list and created a new section for the commercial tutorials at the bottom of the page.

Glad it was of use :)

Thanks for the message. I keep on updating the links section so it should all be fairly recent. If you find any broken links, please let me know (http://www.phantasmcs.com/contact/).

Also, I have started with a new tutorial section (www.phantasmcs.com/resources/tutorials.html (http://www.phantasmcs.com/resources/tutorials.html)) which I hope to add to about every month. This first one is for medium level users, so I hope is a little challenging :)

Best wishes,

Nick
