    Hadn’t even realized there was supposed to be a part 2 to this tutorial..

    I wonder what the inspiration was for this particular graphic, seeing it again I’m not sure if I like it anymore..

    Sorry, not a fan Im afraid. Objects are badly cut out, no coherence with elements and far too much going on for no real reason.

    the vine graphic and pentagons may be a touch too much, but sometimes you dont need a reason to add things into a composition. I presonally think that 90% of it looks rad and would be worth the effort to run through part I and II.

    Doesn’t look like something worth to pay for. Actually, not even worth considering following this tute for free. It looks like rubbish

    Great piece of art, and a very good tutorial. Loved the techniques; seeing your coloring methods and the way you made those Nature Doodles, Alex. Terrific work! This sure is worth being PLUS material! ;)
