first few "vectors" Options

[ecargnmyst]

ok..so these were my first attempts at "vectors" back when i didnt know what they really were and how to do them (may 2005)
1st

2nd..after i gaussian blurred it to make it look like other ppl's vectors b/c i noticed my "vectors" always looked different from others =\

3rd..a layout i made w/ what i thought was vectoring..lol

then i learned about the posterize thing..he still looks like a mess tho

then i learn how to use the pen tool


so basically what i did to make "vectors" was outline w/ lasso tool and color in the details w/ a brush and then blur everything which isnt right at all..lol

but thanks to gotnoheart who explained to me what a vector was in this post i finally understood what it was and how to do it properly ...lol

and so this is my very first actual vector..or vexel...

i didnt vector the coat and bg yet b/c i got too lazy to finish

and then my 2nd vector....the file got corrupted right after i finished.. so its gone forever..but it was that first picture in heathasm's vector contest..which was really hard to do b/c of the details on the flowers and the nonexistent details on the hair but it was good practice...

for my 3rd vector =]


so thats the story of my vectoring adventure..lol..just wanted to share and get feedback..any suggestions? comments? criticisms? theres room for improvement lol
