It is highly recommended, therefore, to learn Illustrator if you want to dedicate yourself to Graphic Design or Illustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Books to learn Illustrator will help you to fix better what you learn, especially if you find it hard to concentrate in front of a computer screen for too long.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this does not mean giving up the advantages of an online course, some of the books in this guide combine the book with online access to exercises, examples and tutorials, in many cases downloadable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Please note the version of Illustrator to which each book refers.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In physical and digital bookstores, it is easy to find Inllustrator books that refer to versions of the program from more than 5 or 10 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are no major differences between year-to-year versions of Illustrator, in 5 years the program has changed and incorporated many new features that these books may not reflect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practice what you learn with Illustrator as you read, not at the end.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Illustrator, as in other Adobe programs, it is important to fix what you learn through practice. I guarantee that if you wait to finish a book to do the exercises, you will be unable to put into practice most of the things you read and you will have to reread them again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that your goal is not to finish the book but to learn Illustrator, and that includes practicing what you are learning, even if it takes you a little longer to finish the book.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the most complete, accurate and practical Illustrator learning books on the market, for beginners and professionals in design and illustration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8999,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8258","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-books"],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":15,"label":"Books"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/layoutmag.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/the-best-adobe-illustrator-books-2022.jpg",1000,564,false],"author_info":{"display_name":"Zarik Ahuir","author_link":"https:\/\/layoutmag.com\/us\/author\/zarikahuir\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":15,"name":"Books","slug":"books","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":15,"taxonomy":"category","description":"Find here the best books for designers.
