Illustrator

I taught myself photoshop by going through online tutorials. I would like to get into illustrator. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to learn it? I love working with vector art but just cant understand it. Any good tutorial sites you guys know of?

The Classroom in a Book series by Adobe Press is a great book to start with. It takes you through all of Illustrators tools in a series of lessons. The accompanying CD has the files and lesson folders along with instructional videos. It is the textbook that was used by my Graphic Design school.

After mastering the basics, Real World Illustrator CS3 is another book that will give you detailed instructions and techniques.

There's a lot of tutorials at Layers Magazine. Also, some blogs do tutorials, like this one.
