Well, it's easy to tell. XD The path tool creates rounded, even width strokes/lines. When you use the shape tool, you can make whatever shape you want, and it usually isn't so even, which actually makes it look more natural. :) When you've been around these tools for as long as me, it's very easy. XD
*hugs* You're welcome! Here is a simple vector tutorial. I think you already know a lot of this stuff though. :3 I used to have some others, but I don't remember where they are though lol.
Just had to fav this! Don't know who the character is but just love how the colors blend and highlight each other. Awesome job. Good luck in the challenge! =)
thankss!
HAHA i like how you know I used the path tool for my outlines.
Nice.
I'll follow your critique for my next vector.
Thanks for the feedback as always.
Yay! A new wall! :) It's totally ok if it took a long time. It's worth it! This is really amazing. I love the bg and the textures; they go along with your vector nicely. Wow, so this is pretty much your first vector?? It's great! Way better than my first. XD Vectoring takes a lot of practice, and even how much I've done it, I'm still no where near as good as other people. ^^;; But I can give you some tips for yours. I see you just used path pen tool for the outlines? Some time, even though it seems to take longer, using the shape layer pen tool makes it look better. :) BUT! If you do use the same way you've been doing, which is still really good, to make it look better is you taper the ends and certain places of your strokes. You know? Erase parts away to make a point or have varied widths. It just looks more finished, and for some areas, more realistic. ^^ Anyway, that's my little critique/tutorial. You did a great job! <33
