We publish a wide variety of tutorials and tips on Vectortuts+, but it’s not often we get to see the other side of our tutorials. In our "Created by You" Tuts+ Workshop, we shine a spotlight on the fantastic work created by the students of Vectortuts+ and give you the opportunity to take part in Round 4! Find out how you can join in on the next installment after the jump!
Introduction
From time to time, we have readers show us what they’ve been able to create by using our tutorials or what’s been inspired by one of our tutorials. Often seeing what others have made inspires others to give it a go. This is what this Tuts+ Workshop is all about… sharing with our readers what you’ve created!

My name is Charlene and whilst I’m not a professional artist I love practicing it in my free time. I mostly learn about art online through deviantArt and other tutorials I can find.

I was first introduced to Illustrator when I was 16 by my graphic design teacher and was intrigued by it since.

Joe St.Onge
Hello, my name is Joe St.Onge and I am 50 years old. When I was younger, I had a great interest in drawing and caricatures, I started using Photoshop to edit images I was placing on a website I was building for my work, and really got hooked on what it could do. Then I discovered Illustrator, and my interest in art was rekindled. I can’t say there is just one tutorial that I can say have helped me, because there are so many, but here are a few that I have gotten some good lessons from.
Joe used “Quick Tip: How to Create Vector Mascot Characters Using a Graphic Tablet” and “How to Create a Web Site Mascot”. Tutorials created by Victoria Vasilyeva and Scott Jackson.

Ewa
My name is Ewa and I’m a twenty years old girl from Poland. From the childhood I’m trying everything which is connected with art and creativity. During attempts creating layouts for websites I came across a vector graphic and probably I stuck in this for longer. I am self-taught, but in October I’m starting school relating to advertising. So far, I have learned by watching others work and following tutorials such yours. It’s very helpful! In this way I learn new techniques and then I could try to connect them and use in my independent projects.
Ewa used “Create a Tasty Cupcake Icon in Adobe Illustrator” a yummy pink cupcake. Tutorial created by Sharon Milne.
