After using Adobe Illustrator for more art and getting more experience with it, I have grown to like Adobe Illustrator more, but I still prefer Adobe Photoshop. I decided to research ways to improve my skills in Adobe Illustrator to improve my skills and hopefully boost my interest in vector graphics. The first thing I learned about was new keyboard shortcuts. For example, to use the pen tool, you can press 'P'. You can also use the direct selection tool with 'A'. Another thing I learned was that one of the most important things you should to do get better at using Illustrator is practice using the pen tool and the Bezier tool. Both of these tools will help greatly to create smooth curves and make exactly what you want in Illustrator. The last thing I learned was to use the Symbols tool to easily make editable copies for your image. You can put a certain shape into the symbols panel to save it as a shape and drag it out onto your image
