10 Step Tutorial To Create Shiny Ball Vector Art - and two other vector artworks

Boy... am I getting addicted to this or what? Like my earlier work, these two illustrations I
created in Inkscape for the coming blog posts at my blog. This is for a blog post on the Orphan
Work Act of 2006 blog post, that I will be able to post by next week. This one is for a series of
design articles that I intend to write about. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)"

One of my blog-team is writing an article on storytelling/narration . This is a vector art quicky
I did for the illustration of the blog post: Edit: Link to the article updated....

Here is a work in progress I would like to share it with Astahosters. Lately, a friend of mine
joined my blogging team at Splat . She had been of great help even before when I was working on my
website WiseTome.com though she just joined Splat. To show my appreciation, I thought I would
gift her an artwork. And with this, I hope to improve my skills too. So, here goes. It is
still a work in progress . I used her photograph as a reference and worked on it from scratch in
Inkscape. The basic outline with flat colors is done, and I have just started to work o...

is a enlarged view of a vector illustration I made for another blog post I will be writing soon.
Nothing breath taking - I know - it is just a 5-10 minute doodle I did in Inkscape and it seemed to
have come out ok. Thought of showing it to you guys here....

Here is one more of a vector art illustration that I created just now for a future blog post of
mine. After looking at few geese photos from Google Image search, I came up with this concept and
drew it. It took me about an hour using Inkscape to do the above illustration. /smile.gif"

Well, here is another one of vector art that I created. It took roughly 2 hours from concept to
final stage in Inkscape. My friend who is in the team of authors for my blog has written an
extensive write-up on a nature related topic that dealt with parasatic blue butterflies (their
larvae), ants and wasps. I was pretty impressed by the write up and thought I should make a image
to accompany with it. So, I started doodling with stuff and got the concept. Then I fired up the
Inkscape and this is what I have: I attempted an caricature-cartoon like feel and also wan...

I wanted to create a quick vector art for a blog post of mine. I sought inspiration from a World Of
Warcraft wallpaper, and created this in about 1 hour using Inkscape. It turned out pretty good. It
is not a polished work but I would be using it in the same format for my blog article on Vector Art.

Well, I did this just a little bit ago with the iPod photo, off the website. I pretty much just
traced the image, but I did all the colors myself. Constructive criticism appreciated. ...

Ok so this my first attempt at creating anything seriously in Illustrator, so if it looks like
I'm a little heavy handed and clumsy, I am right now...let me know what you all think though...
the original photograph I worked with was similar to this one, just a different crop and no
filters. Also, if anyone knows of any good Illustrator tutorials that they'd like to share,
I would appreciate it...I've already found that a pen and a tablet are two of my best friends
when it comes to Illustrator......
