Learning New Things - Illustrator

OK. So, I've wanted to learn Illustrator for a long time. But, the most basic tutorials seem to require a knowledge level I don't have - such as how to use the pen tool. You know, I figure I can do funner things with Photoshop, if I learn a little Illustrator, so I'm determined. I also figure that if I learn one new thing a day, I've learned 365 things is 365 days. So, I learned one little thing today - a small piece of how to use Illustrator.















Here are some other pen tool exercises which teach you how to make a motion trail (wavy line) in Illustrator.
