		<description><![CDATA[In this tutorial, we'll create a cute bird's nest with a cracked eggshell inside of it. We'll start by drawing our artwork with the Pen Tool, bringing it to life with the Gradient Tool, and finishing it up by adding shadows and highlights. We'll use some often-neglected Illustrator tools and features, such as the set of symbol tools in the Tools panel and working with color groups in the Swatches panel.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This icon design tutorial will discuss how to create a shipping box/parcel box icon from scratch using Adobe Illustrator. We will use the 3D Extrude &#38; Bevel effect, the Pen Tool for drawing simple shapes, several panels like the Transparency Panel and the Gradient Panel, and other fundamental Illustrator features. We'll detail our icon with a red shipping stamp (that we will draw ourselves), packing tape, and shadows/highlights.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This vector illustration tutorial will explain how to make a glossy and stylized paint bucket with spilled paint in front of it, using Illustrator. We will take advantage of many excellent features in Illustrator, such as the 3D Extrude &#038; Bevel command, Blend command, drawing shapes with the Pen Tool and Pencil Tool, using Pathfinder commands to combine and create shapes, and more. The resulting product is a scalable vector drawing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This Illustrator design tutorial will discuss how to create a grunge, handdrawn-themed poster with a cassette tape (which we'll draw) as its central subject. We'll use the Pencil Tool to make organic vector objects and also patterns in Illustrator. We'll also use the 3D Extrude &#038; Bevel Effect and take advantage of opacity masks to make certain elements semitransparent.]]></description>
