not a big fan of the style, but if i was i would say that the board is out of perspective.

looks like its facing you, yet its facing away.. mostly a problem with the coloring on the sneakers imo

thats just me

I might post some crits later, but just curious. Is it done in illustrator or photoshop? If illustrator, why do you have the size so small when you can resize?

[imported_Jakska]

You can resize it in photoshop too if you do the vectors properly Jack. I've said this to him before, yet he still insists on making them tiny! ¬_¬

I know the board isn't out of perspective, due to the fact you vector from photographs and photographs are snapshots of real-life so it has to be the right perspective, but it does look off. I dunno what it is, I think it's to do with the bench being such an extreme perspective and the board, being in a crooks, going backwards.

work on the text

Photoshop is raster-based. The pen tool merely emulates vector. Illustrator is vector-based. Of course you can resize in photoshop, but you'll be stretching the pixels. That is, unless theres some special way to make vectors in a raster-based program (if so, please enlighten me. id like to know ). The only thing that is vector in photoshop is text (unless you rasterize the layer).

yeah, but as long as you don't raster the vector masked layers you can still stretch it like you could in AI, without the lose of quailty. Even if it is stretching the pixels.

As for the vector its not bad. Its a bit blocky for my taste but its still nice as skate board vectors go.

Watch his video tutorial, he doesn't use masks. Thats good to know, although I doubt most people use masked layers when doing this sort of thing in photoshop. Like I said though, thats good to know

Masking layers is pretty much essential to me anytime I do anything in photoshop.
