| Tutorial Week: Day 3 -- Free Vector/Brushes |
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! ^_^

| Tutorial Week Freebies (Vector) |
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!
http://abduzeedo.com/swirl-mania-illustrator-photoshop <-- The tutorial link
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.
