I think with this little tutorial you will be able to draw similar sample like the NNPC logo

For those who know how the NNPC logo look like, you will notice that i am unable to finish it, well it is due to time factor, but i think i deserve an appreciation, for the lenght i have does it so far i just have to stop here, because i do not know what language to write it down, that will not be too lengthen for me to keep stating out the details step by step to achieve it.

  1. Thank you, thank you and thank you! You are god send. What a way to explain all that is to know about freelance graphics work like logo designing, photo editing and the likes. Your write-up has motivated me to give up my boring nine-to-five job and take on freelancing. I will get back to you with more questions on how to get me going and making money. Thank you, once again. I have checked out sites like Freelance Work From Home. Why don’t you?
