Illustrator’s Appearance Panel

I consider myself still a bit of a newbie with Illustrator and I’m determined to learn more tips and tricks. Today I decided to follow along with this tutorial, The Secrets of the Appearance Panel: Multiple Fills, over at VectorTuts+. The things you can do with only one simple shape is amazing. This cute little spring scene was a perfect project for this cold winter day.

I look forward to doing many more of the wonderful tutorials I’ve found here. Do you have any great Illustrator learning sites to share? I’d love to hear them.
