I want to learn graphic design for iOS, I have Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop available. I want to learn Sketch, but I don't own it yet; in the meantime what should I learn?

Treehouse Moderator 37,862 PointsDid you use Illustrator or Photoshop? And yes I am planning on purchasing Sketch in the future :).

7,251 PointsI've been using both for probably 15 years (I'm a Creative Director for a large corporation). The learning curve with Illustrator is much higher, IMO - but it's worth it. Creating vectors is the way to go - you can scale up and down with no loss in fidelity, etc... Sketch is vector as well. You can't go wrong with either - the learning curve is much high with Illustrator, though.

FYI. You gave best answer, but sense you posted your answers as comments they cannot be marked as best answer.

7,251 PointsI've been using the Adobe Suite for a very long time. Last year I purchased Sketch and it's been invaluable when it comes to my prototypes (both web and mobile).
There's also many awesome plug-ins for Sketch. One of my favs is Icon Stamper - https://github.com/tylergaw/icon-stamper - which will take your initial iTunes Artwork and create all of your subsequent icons automagically.
Sketch is awesome.
