Ana is an art student with a genuine passion for vector art. These two selections are paticularly special because they are so simple and unique. These two were sent to us by one of our readers who liked this approach very much. Subways could use some more life. well done.
“I didnt really enjoy doing vectors until now cause i didnt understand how to make them, and nobody teached me how to use Ilustrator…
Then i started seeing tuturials and trying to do things my way, and little by little i was doing things a mouth ago i didnt imagine me capable off…
Vectors are sinnounous of hard work but i really love the clean look in the end.”
