Very, very nice Corey. Especially when (using different shapes) taken over to Photoshop and some styles applied on a black background. Cool glowing lights effects, a’la your outer glow tips from other tutorials.

And if you make this with 3 lines and different line thickness and colours you can create something like folds in textile materials

Nice job! Clear, right to the point.
A model for all design tutorials.
I will now be looking for all material by Corey Barker.
Obviously, Kelby had no hand in this video.

Really enjoyed the tutorial but it would have helped (whilst I understand the constraints of time) if the tool references had been a little slower so that it was clear which tool you were using with each change. Thanks
