I've been a huge fan of vector art for years. But I hardly have the patience to actually create a vector image of my own. So here's my first and only completed piece of vector art.

God I hate vectors.

You can tell I got lazy around the bangs and the nose, but my hand started twitching after using the pen tool for so long and so I took a few shortcuts.



Adobe Photoshop, 65 layers/paths, 3 hours. Reference image.

I've been using Photoshop for bitmap graphics for about 5 years, but am a complete noob when it comes to vectors. I keep telling myself I will sit down and learn Illustrator but I never do.

Nice work.

<3 vector graphics.

Very nice work there.

Nice work.

I've tried working with vectors in Illustrator, but I actually like Photoshop better. Just preference I guess.

Wow that's really nice. I wish I had the ability and patience to learn these new fangled gadgets. Good stuff ^_^

I love vector art!

Although I do mine in Illustrator. I really like what you did with the background, I always lack ideas when trying to spruce up my vectors...it's very good. I know what you mean about needing patience though, I rarely have enough to do these anymore xD

70 layers, 2 hours, photoshop.

This one went by a lot quicker. I'm getting the hang of this.

Oh wow! Rock on Miriel! ^_^
