Free Vectors: Hand-drawn Decorative Ornaments II

I’m back from about a week-long hiatus, and I wanted to kick things back off with some killer freebies. This is another set of “hand-drawn” decorative ornaments. A lot of you seemed to like the first set and I enjoy making them, so I decided to crank out some more. These were hand sketched on pencil/paper then scanned and converted to vectors. They may not look like vectors, but trust me, they are. Available in EPS and SVG, as always. Preview of what’s inside after the jump.

It’s always nice to see people put BB freebies to good use, but there’s no way to spot them all. I was flipping through Rolling Stone over the weekend and spotted some of my Illustrator brushes (teardrop foliage) in an ad for Bonnaroo 2008, a huge music & arts festival in Tennessee.

Free Vectors: Hand-Drawn Decorative Elements

Time for some more free vectors? Yeah, I thought so too. I had a lot of fun making these on the Wacom. Let me know how you like them in the comments. I can pump these out relatively quickly, so If everyone likes them, I’ll prep for round 2. Anyway, hope you can put them to good use :)

Illustrator: Load Brush Libraries Faster [CS3]

This is a very quick Illustrator CS3 tip that will hopefully save you some time in the long run. I’m sure a lot of you, if not all of you, know how to load a Brush Library. There are 3 ways, actually, but my favorite, and quickest way is the Brush Library icon.
