Question
I just purchased Illustrator CS5 and have never used any version in my life!  All the tutorials that I find online assume I have some level of knowledge, but I don't, nothing!  Please where could I start?  Do you know where can I find free tutorials online that start from zero?  And Thanks a lot!

Answer
Hi Karen,

tv.adobe.com has a great set of video tutorials that are for beginners. You can also purchase "Real World Illustrator" which is a great book for beginners. It's not very expensive, and is really worth it compared to online tutorials. You've invested quite a bit in the software, no reason to go cheap on the training.

Thanks
