Take advise from a professional, take a course there are things you need to know about setting up files for print, what the settings are, layouts, creating everything and anything.


there are a lot of hidden features.





I see simple mistakes everywhere I look which could have been easily avoided.





If you don't know what a ppd is you may end up paying for it later.





Saying all that the best way to get really good at illustrator is to see what each thing does and think about how you can apply it to your art.





The best way to get fast is to learn the keyboard short cuts use you right hand for the mouse and your left on the keyboard. use all of them not just the ones in the file menus.


ie. press ';v'; to get the select tool ';a'; to get the direct select tool ';m'; for a square and so on.


You can't remember all at once get good at a few then add a few more. trust me you will use them a lot and pick it up quick.Which is the best way to learn Adobe Illustrator, on line tutorials or actually taking a class?
it may be well to learn the program as is, click on a button, see what does, view and test all the tool boxes as you go, go through the help, and extras tutorials that come with program, play with objects to your own design, there may be somethings you figure out better methods and techniques, than whats already online or in courses,





the courses would be of an asset professionally for prerequisites and resumes,





online tutorials would be useful for on the the spot updates and how-to's,
