Guitar Vector ~shiv~

[Pet]

It has to be the shape layered tool however and not just the pentool, if its not then its vexel because it will only utilize raster layers. Unlike Illustrator which is automatically vector unless you use a raster effect, only the use of the shape layers tool in PS would it then be considered vector, at least IMO.

As for the other statement it can be argued. I speak from viewing numerous vexels on DA and the techniques they used and many, especially authoritative artists within the community consider it vexel. However I'm not familiar at all with vexel medium, though from what I have read and seen its still a vexel even if textures has been used to give off a certain feel like how Shiv has done. Like I said, it can be argued.

Shiv, I highly recommend on joining the DA community, that way you can find more artists who specialize in this field and learn more. Learning doesn't exist in a vacuum; you can learn so much more from other artists than from Pet or myself if you hang out on DA due to the fact you can get much more opinions But thats only if you are really interested and haven't joined already.

Keep at it.

You can create vectors, in photohop, with just the pen tool, you do not HAVE to use the shape tool. As long as you have it save the vector mask.

Yes, joining DA is a good idea to get help, but it is still hard to get people who will truly give you helpful pointers, I have been there for a while, and have decent views, but I do not get a whole lot of people trying to help me, and even then it's them trying to get me to make my style something it isn't.

PS: just because someone on DA slaps on some patterns on a vector and calls it a vexel, doesn't make it so. If you look, there is a lot of crap on there, and a lot of stuff in the wrong categories anyways.
