Exploding Circle image

today's tutorial was of this exploding circle image. the tutorial was based off an image the video maker saw so there's a history to this one.

Skills that were gone over include the pen tool, brushes, patterns, width tool/ crystalize tool, blending, adding a script to get those dots on each junction, and the transform effect.

i like this one because it explored a more free handed set of effects while also showing that resizing your image can change things as well.
