This whole week I’m rounding up my favorite vector tutorials, tips, tricks, freebies, articles, and inspirations from 2010. First up is vector inspiration and articles. There are some pretty amazing resources if you are a vector artist or use Illustrator often!
For the massive 100th Weekly Inspiration, Vectips is showcasing reader submitted vector artwork. Thanks to everyone for participating, there is some great work here! If you want to continue to participate, submit artwork to the Vectips Flickr Group.
Creating grainy textures are great for retro illustrations, typography, and logos. Alternatively, you can incorporate these effects into compelling new styles. You can always scan in similar textures and Live Trace them in Illustrator, but you can pretty easily create this type of effect all inside Illustrator!
The 100th Vectips Weekly Vector Inspiration post is coming this week and I wanted to do something a little different, so I’m opening the 100th WI post to you guys! Let us know what is you favorite vector art piece or your favorite piece you have create and I’ll post it.
This post is part of a weekly series showcasing inspirational vector art. Although the series showcases vector art, some work might just be vector inspired, not created completely with vector art. If you have any art suggestions, feel free to comment! For more vector art inspiration, check out the Vectips Flickr Group.
