I haven't done many vectors/vexels, but I always posterize my images first. It helps distinguish the different levels. I know you could do it in Paint Shop Pro, and I'm assuming you can in Photoshop as well.

im using Photoshop cs2 n i did posterize it but its still hard n when i try to do the other colors they dont "flow" u know wut i mean?

i don't understand what you're asking.
you just start out with the main color and add shadow/light on top of it. with this, however, i would do the design on the shirt before you do the actual shirt.
pick the darkest or lightest color and work from there. also, you could use some sort of transition layers, i guess. it's your vector, you do whatever you want.

What level of posterization are you using?

um i think its 9

Have you tried it at different levels?

I personally never posterize because I feel that it dictates your lines wayy too much.

I would suggest unposterizing this for the shirt (since it doesn't have much contrast anyways).

Ignore the black parts/patches of "color" and start with the lightest colors in the white background of the short and go darker with each new layer behind the previous layer.

After you've done, that, add a new layer above it all to do the design of the shirt and fiddle a little with the transparency.

ok so im trying a mix of the last 2 posts and it seems to b working for me! thanks guys!
