Hi, my name is Matt. I like to draw things.

This Vector Plus Tutorial is Filled with Creative Techniques

Hey dudes, I'm back with another tutorial. A lot has changed since the last time I did a tutorial, mainly pressure sensitivity using Illustrator. Using pressure sensitivity has made a lot of my projects much easier and I am able to get them done very quickly. In this tutorial I will show you how I use pressure sensitivity as well as other things like using symmetry in an image and a rough idea on how I separate colors.
