Nice screencast, great work!

Nice work – this is the first VectorTuts+ tut I’ve looked over, and I must admit I didn’t think I’d use it at the start of the screencast. But I got hooked and realised that I could definitely be using this for some projects I’m working on!
Awesome work, and thanks a lot! I look forward to your next tut!

OMG painful watching you line things up! Use the A-select and smart guides to line corners up nicely. Other than my silly nit-picking great tut.

Scott – good advice to use smart guides. Thx.

Any way to Download it?
( )Laneth May 30th
Typically you can download it if you’re a Tuts+ member, but lawrence77 is right – it’s not showing up in the Plus Content area, or on the front page of VectorTuts
Sean you might want to enquire as to why your Tut isn’t getting displayed…

Hey everybody – Here is a link to the tutorial http://vector.tutsplus.com/tutorials/illustration/how-to-create-a-vector-sketchbook/ and it didn’t show on the front page at the same time as this video because I didn’t get the video done at the same time the tutorial published.
I loved the tutorial and wanted to make a screencast, but just the timing didn’t work out great. If you search for it in Plus it is there. Thx.
