So I have Photoshop (finally) and I've decided to try my hand at vectoring (well, vexeling, but you catch my drift...). And I know a lot of you have some really NICE vector images, so I'd like some tips.

(Yes, I've been through the big book of resources, please don't send me back there!)

Is it easier to click points with the pen tool, one after the other, or try and match the curves by dragging?

Skin/eyes/hair/other features first?

How do you get really good skin tones? Mine end up looking either too bright or too tacky or whatnot.

AND how long does a vector usually take you? I need to learn patience, methinks!!

Thanks so much, you guys biggrin.gif Hopefully I'll have one to post in the Pictures forum within this lifetime.

[OH. And please don't beat me up if I posted this in the wrong forum]

Another question. In doing eyes, do you find it easier to go all out on one eye and then the other? Or do the same thing on each eye, doing both sort of at the same time?

All out on one eye and then the other.
Are you sure you checked the BBOR thoroughly? There's good tutorials that can answer all your questions..
