illustrator

This is a short tutorial on the perspective tool in Illustrator but I'm bookmarking it for the über handy tip on masked blurs in Photoshop. Skip halfway down to where he imports the art into Photoshop and check that one out.

I don't consider this to be particularly useful because free graphics will be over-used and it'll be difficult to create something unique with them. I also think we're on the downward slope of the trend curve for sketchy, illustrated websites.

What I do find useful though is just the structure for the boy vector character and girl vector character. Those two files provide a nice blueprint for how to create your own illustrated character that you can use over and over again.
