You will not learn how to draw an awesome tiger or a sweet ninja in the Vonster style. You will not find any magical buttons in Adobe Illustrator that autodraw your work.On the other hand, this is definitely a how-to book. You will learn how to think, follow a creative process and you will learn how to construct vector artwork.As a designer, creating quality, polished vector art can often be the hardest part of the job. Frequently, the construction methodology and the 'Why?' takes a backseat to other things while you're in school; it takes time to learn these once you're working in the field. Von generously pulls back the curtain and gives everyone a long, detailed look at the steps his creative process takes, but also the reasoning behind everything he does. It's rare to have such an in-depth, practical look at creative methodology and this book offers exactly that.I cannot recommend this book enough. If you're a pro or if you're a student, it doesn't matter. If you're in design school you need to own this book. I promise that your portfolios will be better for it when you graduate. I followed Von's blog for years, learning lessons where I could to enhance my own skill set. It's wonderful to see his process in this richly deconstructed view and understand that you too can produce quality vector artwork if you'll apply the theories and practices he puts forth. It's a little like taking a digital illustration course from the man himself, only you don't have to commute or wake up on time for class.UPDATE: I wanted to add to the review I wrote for the 1st edition. Glitschka has included many pieces of new artwork and dedicated a chapter to Color and Detailing, which is very well-thought out. The tone is clear and direct and the visual examples are easy to understand, making this edition a must-have for beginners and pros alike. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As usual a great Vonster product *by D***N on November 16, 2015* The professional reviewers and the other reviewers previous to my entry have summarized and praised the book well. Anyone working in Illustrator needs this book in their reference library. I bought his first edition and read and highlighted every line and as a result my work improved a 100%. However, like any book based on computer software you have to upgrade your reference materials to keep up with the software.The first part of the book has the same basic information as the first edition. Understanding and following Glitschka's basic principals: analog to digital, PPP (precise point placement) and the "clock method" will take you from mediocre vector artist to a great one. There is no need to mess with perfection.What is new and what I appreciate it is the overview of the Astute Graphic's plug-ins, which while not absolutely necessary, do speed up your work tremendously. Given the work I do (animal illustrations) I can no longer work without Astute Graphic's Vector Scribe, Stylism, Smart Remove Tool, and Collider. All these tools make Illustrator's native tools seem clunky and archaic.The last three chapters are worth the price of the book. These chapters, especially the coloring, are a manual to the the tutorials on the Peach pit site that come with the book (plus his tutorials on lynda.com). I found the concepts of layering gradients on top of each other with the myriad transparencies and tints difficult concept and having a book to follow is extremely helpful. Understanding Glitska's meticulous workflow can help give your work that extra edge to rise above your peers in the fast moving digital design and illustration business. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing! *by T***. on July 28, 2020* As a graphic design student. I’ve sifted through a ton of books. I’ve also wasted money on books that are overly technical, which I did not enjoy reading, and got very little take away from. This book is now on my “best” list. It’s informative, easy to follow and actually fun to read. Im sure I’ll continue to reference it as I move forward with my career! I only wish I had a paperback copy but kindle was the only new option I could currently find. Still, totally worth it. Plus it’s packed full of Von’s fantastic artwork. Highly recommend. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/19950872-vector-basic-training-a-systematic-creative-process-for-building-precision](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/19950872-vector-basic-training-a-systematic-creative-process-for-building-precision) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
