Description My first attempt at Illustrator.

Used Shant's fantastic tutorial [link] to get through it. Really struggled with Illustrator, hate not knowing how to do stuff that's so easy in Photoshop! Like simply distorting a circular outline. It seems that you can only resize it. I'm sure i just haven't found the right option, but it gets annoying!
Had fun playing with Gradient Meshes on the light
The car had loads of logos which i was planning to stick on, but i just found them so hard to do. My next effort will be much better

Enjoy. The first true vector from me XD

PS: If you have IllCS2, live paint will make the coloring of lineart much easier and less layer consuming.

I like it. I have tried to do you tutorial in Illustrator combined with Shant's. I am getting the wheel outer hub formation down, but the spokes are still giving me hassles. Good work, nice colors, you will love the mesh options. Nice to see you come to the dark side with Illustrator. Keep it up.

You don't have to, Photoshop style toons are just as good as Illustrator ones, it's just whether you want to learn a new piece of software or not. I do, so i am.

For your first Illustrator piece, I must say it turned out mighty fine! Even my first piece didn't look like that. You picked a very challenging car to begin with too, but I'm sure with all that PS experience this must've been quite a walk in the park... apart from you taking a different route of course Looks really nice, the decals could use some fixing but it is hard to create them... anyways. Hope to see your next effort on AI!

Keep on kicking major arse bro XD
