For this week tutorial I got inspired on the Tiki and Maori culture and made this big illustration. Tiki refers to large wood and stone carvings of humanoid forms in Central Eastern Polynesian cultures of the Pacific Ocean. The term is also used in M?ori mythology where Tiki is the first man, created by either Tumatauenga or Tane. ( Wikipedia ).
This is a advanced tutorial, however with you're a illustrator beginner you won't find bigger problems to do it, since I tried to explain it the best way possible, enjoy it guys :) .
The wallpaper of this week is, again, from one of our tutorials, time time however it's an incredible image created by Guilherme Marconi, the Psychedelic Life Tutorial. Check the tutorial out to understand a bit more of how Guilherme Marconi works, it's definitely worth it. Also visit Marconi's website at http://marconi.nu
The book suggestion of this week is a very inspiring one for those in love with vintage typography, it's called Scripts: Elegant Lettering from Design's Golden Age. It's definitely a book for when you need some extra motivation and inspiration.
