Author: Alejandro Fuentes

Hiya! I am an illustrator from Los Angeles. I create apparel graphics for a living and freelance for just about anyone in just about any creative field. I am heavily influenced by surreal b-movies, comics, warm smiles, vodka, everyday nuances, childhood memories, (just about) anything described as being "raw," the metaphysical, thee Lord and my zany/fresh children. You can find examples of my work here: Illustration Portfolio, Apparel-Illustration Portfolio, Flickr, Behance.

This Vector Plus Tutorial is Filled with Creative Instruction

I'm going to cover a complex project covering different techniques. While this tutorial gives advanced instruction on color control and correction, it also covers numerous other techniques, and a complete workflow from sketch to finished graphic. Quite honestly, this tutorial could have been named several different things. So, there's a lot here to learn here!
