This first video introduces us to basic steps or tools that we should know before using illustrator. In the article it said before it started to use illustrator its easiest to learn how to use one tool at a time. The video first showed us how to duplicate our work page so we can have a replica next to our original work. You can also change the tools you want to use by altering your work space.

I think this video was the most helpful. The video shows us the different pen tools to make curves and lines which I think will be most difficult at first but practice makes perfect. The video does a great job in explaining the different pen and shape tools there are so it was definitely very helpful.

This video showed a lot of useful tips one of them being Pathfinder. This tool can help you combine any shapes together to make a pretty picture. Illustrator seems to be pretty easy to use but I'm definitely just going to have to spend some free time practicing all the tools.
