Its mee!!!
CnC!How do I look?Its my first vector :D

Can i ask which method you used to create this image :)

for a first go 'round its pretty good. it could stand to be cleaner though. and i'm with dale, what did you use?

i like this alot, it's awesome man~! I also have the same question as Dale's, which method did u use?

Pretty nice looking for a first vector. Looks great but it looks a bit rough, the edges aren't very smooth. Excellent job though and the colour looks very real. :D

You should keep practicing.. :P Theres absolutly no realism, it looks kinda like a cartoon :S Also, we dont know how you look, so its kinda hard for us to see if theres any likeness..

But you should definately keep practicing, and take more time making the shapes.. e.g. the hair, lips, eyebrows, eyes are very chunky..

Try and practice the pen tool some more. Like Nilsoon said take some more time practicing to make shapes that have a closer likeness to their originals :)

I started making a little how to on the pen tool, but i was too high :p

I used the pentool in photoshop..Thanks for your comments all!
I found my own vectoer style! YAY!

Well, its not always good to have your own vector style, if it doesnt look that good :/

I like it and to me thats whatr matters :D

The absolute minimum you need to get stgarted is a knowledge of the pen tool. The polygon lasso tool or whatever you are using wont work anymore. Vectoring is tough but to do it right in thie end it's supposed to look realistic.

also the posterizing you face to make the shading, not working either. Many people try to pull this off thinking it's the same as vectoring, and if it was everybody would be doing it.

It's nice you were giving vector a good shot but you really must use to learn the pen tool before you can vector.
