More vector freebies in today's tutorial recap! ^_^
For those unfamiliar with vectors, the only real difference between them and a typical (raster/bitmap) graphic is that they can be re-sized up or down without losing their precision or detail. Ever resized that photo and it came out looking kinda funky? That's because it just didn't know how to change and maintain itself like a vector does.
I use Adobe Illustrator CS3, but alot of people don't have access to it, so here's a free vector editor I've found on the web:
http://www.inkscape.org/
I'm not sure if it opens .ai documents (which is what I believe my vectors to this point are saved as), so if it doesn't, let me know, and I can re-release these in a more cross-compliant format. Name your format if you can! ^_^
Now, on to the goodies!
[[Download Radial + Teardrop Brushes]]
*Note: The elephant was not made by me, he was a freebie from Shutterstock*
[[Download Sunburst Final Vector]]
*This is the reult of the tutorial, which will be linked below. I later added the background effects in Photoshop*

This one was interesting, as the instructor shows in the end, the possibilities for this are endless now that you have the knowledge, radials can have all kinds of things in them, from complex designs to text!
This isn't too flashy, but it's a cool thing to know! ^_^
