Awesome! I really need to work on my Illustrator knowledge.
You’ve just made my day
great list!
great selection, thank you
I think I’ll spend the next couple of weeks doing every single one of these
A lot of these aren’t that difficult if you’re a good sketch artist. If you’re not then they’re basically impossible to do. Such as any of the tutorials from illustrationclass.com But good job assembling them all.
wow speechless

Outstanding selection. Vector art has always amazed me, re-sizable, lightweight, and clean cut.
Definitely need to mature my Illustrator. Using Flash for vector drawing for now, then moving to Photoshop.
