We recently launched the VECTORTUTS PLUS section of the site. This is the first of upcoming tutorials exclusively available to PLUS members. If you've been looking to pull your Illustrator skills together into a super hot and sleek design, then this tutorial is for you. Learn how to illustrate the car of your dreams!
New PLUS Tutorial on Creating a Sleek Vector Car Design
The first VECTORTUTS PLUS tutorial is written by Abdurrahman Aribas, and titled "How to Create a Sleek Car Design with Illustrator." The tutorial shows you part by part how to create a semi-realistic car illustration that fades to black. The tutorial demonstrates how to make the design using geometric shapes, the Pathfinder tools, the Mesh tool, adding volume with highlights, and the use of gradients. Below is the Final Image Preview of the completed car design.
A Versatile Tutorial for Intermediate to Advanced Illustrator Users
This tutorial is targeted at designers that have been working with some of Illustrator's more advanced tools, like the Gradient Mesh Tool, and want to take their work to the next level. A straight forward use of gray shading is used to build the car design. This technique makes the final coloring simple and versatile. See the image below for an example of quick color change.

I signed up for the VectorTuts Plus Combo, but the login link just leads me back to the membership page, which links to the login page, etc. In other words, a circle, without ever going to the VectorTuts Plus page.

Dan & Q – We’re having a programming issue occurring, which is creating this loop that you’ve mention for some users. Our backend team is working to resolve it. I appologize for the inconvenience, and we will comment about the resolution. Thx.
