great work. I am always amazed at the creativity of people like yourself. I am fairly new to graphic design, but I am really enjoying it. I use a different program than you do, but I like browsing these types of tutorials for ideas and inspiration. I am also learning a lot about vector illustration and art, so videos like this really help. Here is a resource page that talks more about vector art and what is possible with it: http://www.coreldraw.com/us/pages/vector-illustration/.
