Vectoring process study

I'm not super pumped about the way it came out but it was an interesting study.

First, break up the letter into pieces and create a layer for each accordingly. Next, drag out guides where the letter form intersects any vertical and horizontal "lines." Now, draw the shapes by placing your anchor points on the vertical and horizontal guides, be quick with it because we're going to tweak a lot later. After drawing out the individual shapes, use circle guides to smooth out your curves (you can turn any shape into a guide by selecting it and pressing CMD+5). As you're going along, you may find that by fixing one curve you're breaking another, that's why I think it's important to do one curve at a time as opposed to drawing all the guides out like we did for the vertical and horizontal guides.

Little tedious, but those curves sure looks good :)
