Hi. Guys am wanting to know if anyone can point me in the right direction as to creating vector art in illustrator. Have looked on the web at some tutorials...but find they are a bit vague. I want to be able to create vector art of say famous people etc. Can anyone give me some tips and point me in the right direction. Am learning how to use the pen tool and know about layers etc......just want some good tutorials etc

Cheers

lynda.com or the Illustrator manual are good places to start.
