This is an Adobe Illustrator Tutorial on How to Make Shapes
I can confirm the usage of versions as early as 9/10. Everything is there, it might look or be labeled slightly different (noted in tutorial). Everything works the same on a mac and a pc only the combination of alt/shift/control/command/apple changes.
Although I go over some very basic principles, this tutorial is meant for people with somewhat of a grasp on the fundamentals of Illustrator. If you are just starting the best tutorial is self taught so keep playing around.
Please note, this tutorial is not a definitive guide on how to make shapes. I'm only providing a foundation to learn that there is more than one way to do anything and it can be done with precision.
Thanks, enjoy the tutorial! n__n
EDIT: Thanks so much ^znow-white for giving me a DD... so fast too...!

Hi, shape-making humans! I still use this tutorial when throwing together quick images for presentations at my job, and I wanted to add for anyone like me who had trouble with it, as of CS5.5, you have to shift-click a given point to be able to edit the angle of the path attached to it. That should let you created altered shapes like the strawberry in the second example.
thank you so much for this tutorial, now i will practice for have a much better work
