25 Awesome Illustrator Cartoon Tutorials

Submitted by Richard Darell80,048 Views | 26 Comments

Article header ImageThe other day I was looking around for some nice Illustrator tutorials to satisfy my need for the creative process. I discovered that there’s surprisingly few tutorials covering cartoon character drawing in Illustrator. Despite it’s superior usability when it comes to working with “Illustrations”. I looked around for a while and at the end of my rope I found, in total, 25 really nice ones.

I think some one should really start doing some cool Illustrator tutorials covering Cartoons and Characters. Would be such a great concept for a tutorial site. Anyways, here are the 25 I managed to find that is really good and showcases the awesomness of Illustrator.

Enjoy!
