In this fun tutorial I’ll explain how to create 5 essential effects in 3 easy steps, using basic Photoshop tools. Useful for a range of situations, these effects work best when you don’t have time to reach high quality standards. If you work in an agency you know what I’m talking about. These are lifesavers!

What? You STILL don’t have your own avatar? Remedy this situation immediately with this tutorial. We’ll draw a shiny, awesome-looking space rocket in Adobe Illustrator using advanced techniques such as gradient meshes, pattern brushes and opacity masks. We will then add a flare, smoke, clouds and sky to complete a fun illustration. Ready to launch?

I’m proud to announce that Vectortuts+ has published another one of my Illustrator tutorials, How to Create A Realistic Chef’s Knife in Illustrator.
