5. How can i curve lines?

- To edit lines/pathes you can use the WHITE ARROW tool. You find it inside the long, small basic tool palette on the left side of the ILLUSTRATOR screen. The white arrow tool is on the right, above inside that tool palette. Draw one line, take choose the white arrow tool and now click on the line (maybe in the middle or on one of the ends) and pull (buy using the mouse). You will see the result because the line gets bended. If you edit it in the middle it is a bit harder to control. I would recommend to edit - bend a line from one of the line ends.

Okay :) I hope this will help you.
Much fun with Illustrator ^^

4. How do you do gradient colors?

- Gradient? Ah I guess I know what you mean. Go again under the menu WINDOW and GRADIENT (if it is called like that). Sorry my version of ILLUSTRATOR is german.

3. Is it best to use the pen tool?

Personally I would say YES. I use it always for each drawing. I tried the pencil tool too but the pen tool is better for my taste because it makes clear lines which I can easy edit if I want.

2. How to do clean shading (i usually paint under layers

You can make shading parts also simple inside the same layer level. Use again the transparence palette and their effects to fuse the shading part with the rest of the figure or the element. A good option for shading parts is MULTIPLY. But you can also give each shading part an own but darker colour (that would work too).

1. How to add that smudgy feeling to a finished pic (like Marnodor does)

- I guess you mean the background texture :) with smudgy. That relative simple, you just have to put a picture of any texture to your digital drawing. Put the the texture picture over the "background" (setting) parts and then go under the menu (above) WINDOW -> TRANSPARENCE. Now you will get the palette for transparence effects and if you use it to make the texture picture transparent it will kind a fuse with the digital drawing. That makes that soft transparent, smudgy style. Here are some textures: [link]
