vexeling and vectoring, A different take on what it looks like. Options

[Ktru]

Hey everyone, there just something that's been bothering me about the forum's ethnic on vexeling and vectoring (which I will call Vextor).

So i'm browsing this forums and I'm looking at all the vextoring of people pictures and I'm thinking to myself gosh these people suck. Why is it that 99% of all the vextor images soo layery? Vexels and vectors are suppost to look flat aren't they?

Maybe you're new to vexeling or vectoring and so you're following the shapes that was created when you desaturate. But it seems like the popular notion of vectoring and vexeling is just to follow the shapes created by photoshop.

I think of graphic design as a form of art. Learning how to vexel and vector is hard because it takes time to learn what kind of shapes you need to make and what kind of opacity the shape should be. To make a good vextor you need to learn the basics ( how to desaturate. how to create shapes, how to blend the layers, etc) after you have that what you do with the vectoring should be up to you. Experiment with the color and shapes to create something different.

Here's a tutorial that I thought was great on vextoring. Can someone else provide their tutorial so I can see what they're doing?

please explain to me what your definition of "spam" is, because i'm sure it's totally different than everyone else's, seeing as how you've been making up your own definitions and words throughout this whole thread. everything i have posted here is in direct relevance to everything you're saying. that's not spam. that's the total opposite of spam.

i asked if you could read because it seems you DIDNT read anything i said in my previous post, and you're more concentrated on trying to get me out of your thread. TOUGH SHIT, HONEY, I'M HERE. And it seems YOU'RE the only one that cant seem to muster a response to anything i'm saying.

but there is good and bad art, it just the collective opinion at one time is swayed at good or bad. Look at picasso everyone thought his art sucks, but now people stare at it and go wow he's a genius. It is all very subjective, but that doesn't mean it can't be good and bad.

right there. you're the only one in this entire thread that thinks the way you do. the actual collective opinion of this forum agrees that you're pretty much wrong. just extrapulate that for a second.


Vectoring is not a genre of art. It is a technique used in art. Like painting. Painting is not a genre of art.

REALISM is a genre. SURREALISM is a genre. CUBISM. IMPRESSIONISM. Figure it out already. And they are genres for a reason. Different people can appreciate different genres. Maybe you only really like one or two. Good for you. In your own words, you arent the center of the universe. The collective opinion of art does not revolve around your own.

I like R&B. I don't like Country. But there are millions of people in the world that like country and dont like R&B.
