Yes, some of the best selling illustrations ARE very simple. I wasn't trying to make any kind of sweeping generalizations suggesting otherwise. I was solely responding to the portion of this thread which was quoted in my post. Nothing more, nothing less.

cheers.

If you think that vector illustration has nothing to do with artistic talent

Maybe I was blurry, but you can read in my post "It's a total different form of art...". And I will add a more difficult art than drawing. So I don't and will never say that it's has nothing to do whit art in general. Sorry I must be more clear next time

Exactly.

I don't submit photos because although I own a DSLR and am trying to learn photography, I'm quite a long distance away from being able to submit stock-worthy photos. It amazes me that photo contributors who should be fully aware of how difficult it can be to take a good stock photo will come into the forums and talk about getting Illustrator so they can submit vectors, as if just owning the equipment is all it takes. If I tried going into a forum and saying, "Hey, I just bought a DSLR, so I'm a professional stock photographer now!", I'd be flamed beyond recognition.

Mekarim, you're on the right path by taking a class. It isn't always required, but if you're completely new with vector imaging, a class will help you get started more quickly.

I would also recommend lynda.com video courses. I've used a few and they are quite helpful. Not the same as the direct interaction you'd get from a real in-person course, but still good.

Yes! I second this bit of advice as well! I had to learn InDesign in a very trial-by-fire rushed situation and those training sessions on lynda.com really saved me!
