Valentine's Heart and Arrow: Part 1 Vector Heart

This is my first tutorial, and screencast, so hopefully it is easy to follow!

In this Valentine's Day themed screencast, I will walk you through how to draw a heart with an arrow piercing it in Illustrator CS4. You can use almost any vector editing software (or version of Adobe Illustrator), some of the shortcuts or menu locations may be a little different.

Enjoy!
