In our way from beginners to skilled designers/illustrators, we all need quality information. But not always the information that is a treasure for us can be easily assimilated, and it needs a very attractive presentation. For instance, if you want to learn a certain feature from Adobe Illustrator, it is much easier through a video/illustrated tutorial, than actually reading a simple description.

I have found out some amazing tutorials that will make you wanna recreate the cute characters. At the end of every tutorial, you will achieve, besides the satisfaction that you created a character, some new abilities that you can use in creating the next design.
