How to Make the Most Out of Your Vector Illustrations – Vector Plus Tutorial
Jun 17th in News by Oksancia
This Vector Plus Tutorial is Filled with Creative Instruction and Tips
I would like to share with you my method of creating three different styles of vector illustration based on one concept and sketch. You can make the most of your vector illustration concept by extending the usage possibilities and making it suitable for more designs and projects.
If you have a great illustration idea that you would like to incorporate in many different merchandise designs, it could be useful to have different looks of one illustration to use on those products where they are suited most. By creating different styles of one illustration you increase usage possibilities for designers who download your vector illustration on micro-stock websites, which makes it more valuable for them.

This is a great tutorial, I’m sure many of us have lots of vector illustrations just laying around waiting to be recycled, and given a new look. Thanks!
