vector cartoon

[B][G K]

well i discovered the pen tool the other day. i always knew it was there but had no idea what it did. so i did a little reading and learned it. i made every part of the cartoon with the pen. each color you see is a separate path. there's some really nice features to this tool that allow you to fill, stroke, and select areas enclosed by a path. hope you like it.

ya good idea mo, your tut is especially good for those who have no idea what the pen does at all (like me a few days ago). after you learn the basics, just experiment. i'm writing a tut soon on how to fill, stroke, and select paths that can really diversify your vector art.

not bad K but if u wanna give it a more vectory look knowch out the blured gradient type soft brush around the hair , vectors are more clean cut

The hair is too blurry in my opinion, Vectors are usually more sharp than that.

yeah that's true about the hair, but i when i said vector, i was referring to the vector paths used to create each of the layers. sorry for confusion.

Oh ok, fair enough, other than that it looks great mate.

cool, Ive been thinking about getting Illustrator for some time now to try out some true vector graphics, but im still hesitant, because i love my photoshop.
