    Nice work man! If I may give you a tip. You could use the Shape Builder (Shift+M) also for pathfinder motives. So if you want to combine 2 shapes into one, the sahepbuilder makes it lots easier!

    É tão legal pensar que a arte, o desenho , a imaginação e a criatividade não estão presas à um padrão - por muito tempo pensei assim e isso me atrapalhou muito, desde fazer uma simples mão até desenhar uma árvore - Trabalhos como o seu desconstroem em mim, pelo menos, essa ideia de criação rígida e padronizada. Adorei o vídeo, sucesso!
