>>1568412As for tutorials, sorry I don't know of one. I think the materials found on OP's post are sufficient. Just remember that you should not hold back on the number of layers. More layers = more contour and control over gradients. Pic related.
>>1568426The most important trait when doing a vector. The more time you dedicate on your work, the better the results.
>>1568438>>1568425>>1568420>>1568404I have a question to you guys who have experience working with illustrator. Do you experience slowdowns when the work you are doing is getting too complicated especially when it has lots of blur? And does it have filters like bump maps, textures (the one I used for the red lace) and pattern to path (zippers)? One of these days I might try experimenting with Illustrator because of gmesh.
