Vector Debut - Bollywood Style

I am a big fan of illustrations, especially vector illustrations. Whenever, there is nothing much to do, I try to horn my skills with illustrations. There are masters and here is a newbie—I know CorelDraw well enough but there are some technical problem associated with the software, don’t know whether you also have faced same problems like: Software gets crashed while working with big sized files (that’s why it has default ‘Auto Backup’), Pen tool is quite hard to handle.

But when it comes to safety of your file, all good points get vanished. Looking at this I am trying to switch over to Illustrator.
