an confused!!!

what u did here?

K. I beat jack to it. How were these vectored, did you just trace an image off the internet? Or did you use an image as a reference? They are well done if that is true.

The first one:
Ok, the vector isn't horrible, but did you just trace? And what is up with that? You put "bg by google" in the lightest gray you could get, why? Why not make your own, and I doubt that google themselves made that background, seriously man, are you really too lazy to make your own background? That seriously downgrades the piece. I would prefer a just plain background, instead of a most likely copyrighted background. Credit the artist, not where you got it.

the second one:
What all did you vector in that one? The basketball doesn't look completely vectored, like the bottom looks like it has some texture. Did you vector the background too, or just get it from google as well?

lol, ye the bgs are from Google, i had no time left for both(only 2 hours a day) and thats also why the butons on the mobile have no numbers on them.

These are the images themselfs:

Ye, i gave the 2nd a very slight texture on it.

then the 2nd is not a vector. A vector doesn't have texture. Well that is supremely weak, feel free to lose the background, and not just take someone else's. They aren't bad, but did you trace them or not?

[Proflax]

er. i dont know what trace is -_-'

[silenced]

trace is where you have the image under your vector layer, so you are just basically using the pen tool or the brush, and just brushing over the image. Not tracing is where you have the image that you are vectoring over to the side, and you are not working right on top of it. You are using your eyes to draw it, not just tracing over it, with lines then whatever.

[Proflax]

er.. i explain how i do it :P
I just take the pen tool then make 2 dots at a line first then make a middle dot and move it with control.
i dont use brushes..

Well, it's obvious you did it that way as you can tell where all the anchor points are. It's really important when using the pen tool to use as little anchor points as possible. Manipulate the lines that come out of the points to make the curve you need.

lol i must put this out there, i hate vector art im sorry.

but unlike most thingys i see round here these have style and i like style.

i dunno something is diffrend about these two.. need imprvoement but they are cool imo.........and by cool i mean i hate it it... and by that ofcourse i mean... its cool looking... for something i hate.
