So last night I crawled into bed just for a minute I told myself....I woke up about 10 hours later, instead of 10 or 20 minutes! Needless to say, this didn't get posted last night like I had intended, as it was my second tutorial for the day!

My Examples: (click below each example to DL a freebie vector pack!)
[[Download Running Man Swirl Vector]]
*This was an attempt at the tutorial that just didn't turn out right. In my frustration, I started warping it at random, and this was the result. I really think it looks like a person, what do you see?
[[Download Straight Swirl Brush]]
*This was an attempt at making an art Brush for Adobe Illustrator. After a little experimenting with the brush, if you would like to maintain the shape pictured above, it is best to use a straight line path. Any other shaped path will produce an abstract shape.
[[Download Swirl Cluster Brushes]]
*This was my last work done using the tutorial above. It has been made into 2 or 3 brushes for use in Adobe Illustrator. They were made with CS3, so I'm not sure if they would be compatible with previous versions. You're more than welcome to try them out!
[[Download Swirly Pattern Brush]]
*This was my favorite out of the lot of things made using the tutorial. I really liked the swirls I achieved here and the use of the colors! This was made into a pattern brush, meaning it will repeat along whatever path it is applied to.
