    So I’m sure I’m going to get flamed for asking a stupid question, but are small graphics you create such as the feather at 7:00 considered avector graphic?

    Thanks for the tutorials. I know photoshop really well (airbrushing photos to perfection, graphic design and morphing.. im new at that) but I have no idea how to do illustrator. I am really glad that I found you on YouTube bc you are very precise and you are very good at explaining everything. Thank you again.

    This is a really good tutorial. Thank you! I noticed you made videos on other products as well so I’m wondering if you can help me. I have hundreds of hours of artwork I created years ago in Microsoft Photodraw which is a .MIX format. Do you know of any way I can convert all of my .MIX files so I can edit them in Ai? Or do you think I will just have to start over again from scratch?
