It's been a loooooong while since I last vectored. I currently have a vector collection at a grand total of 2, so I thought was finally time to work on a 3rd one.



Program Used: Adobe Photoshop CS
No. Layers: A lot
Time spent: 2 days, on/off.

Let me know what you guys think and any tips or suggestions on how I can improve my technique. I am still new at this so some criticism/feedback is appreciated.

Yeah, I had it in there at first and then decided it didn't look right.

// EDIT

Yeah, so I decided to add it back in. The only problem is that those who don't already know I have a birthmark may think it's a error on my part. ermm.gif

ahh roxanne, that is a gorgeous vector of you! but like somone mentioned, maybe you should change the background color to something other than black..but maybe you just aren't finished, i dunno, but it looks awesome flowers.gif

Hmm... it must be because everyone has different monitor settings. The background is actually actually a gradient that goes from lighter gray to darker gray and you should still be able to see the hair.

Wow, that's good, but maybe more shading in the hair? It looks so much like you!
souldreamers
wow good job! It looks just like you. I think a colored background like turquoise would look more flattering because the grey is a bit too dark and almost blends in with your hair. Dang I wanna start vectoring again.....
bluecrystals
that's a nice looking vector. i really like the details of the eyelashes.
heyyfrankie

yep, and thanks again guys.

you guys don't remember my other vector? the one for my "let her fly" skin... the girl with the butterfly?
EXPLO5ION
Thats a good vexel. But maybe its just me on my crappy computer, but I can't really tell that your face has depth to it. You know what I mean? Like your face is juts flat/2-D. But i think that is very good.

I think its a VECTOR. Just to clear things up.
expoised
it's awesomely awesome.

hmm... your head's tilted and from what i can see in your avatar, your left face (your left, not the viewer's) could be shaded a little more. shadows could be emphasized a little more. and you have this line thing on your right cheekbones. i can see where it comes from with the original picture, but as a vexel, it looks a little awkward. that's just my opinion.

i love your style. KEEP UP THE VECTORING !!! STOP STOPPING!!! i loved the "let her fly" vector.
demolished
wow, your very creative and artistic in photoshop.


your cheeks doesnt match your profile.

Thanks Melissa!

You're right about the shading. I'm a little "shy" to add more shadows and highlights. When I do so, it comes off as looking odd to me so I revert back to what I was doing before. I definately had some trouble with it, especially for this particular image since I was working off of a very blurry image to begin with. But yeah, I'm a little weak on the shading. I'll work on that some.

The line on my right cheekbone is my birthmark. I had originally removed it because I, too, thought it looked awkward, like it was an error. But someone in this thread mentioned my missing birthmark so I put it back in. Besides, I like my birthmark. Too bad it doesn't work well for vectoring.

And thank you so much for your input. I may work on it some more, if not, I'll definately practice my shading more on my next vector, whenever that may be.
whomps
Ooooooooo It looks so nice :D And your birthmark doesn't look like an error.. I didn't even noticed it :D But yeah great job.
