While we are all staying at home most shopping we do is done online. This seems like an ideal time to learn how to create a cart icon in Adobe Illustrator. If you need some color inspiration there's a new handy tool called 'Color Designer'. No resources edition without looking at some logos. I've also included an article that tackles the question "what if I can't draw?". There's also an interview with Jon Hicks. There's a link to a super interesting book that you can read for free.
