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?

let me know what your take on this is

wow. and still you havent really responded to what i've said about vectoring not being a genre of art. it's a technique.


i'm not the forum spokeswoman. just LOOK at the responses you've gotten in your thread. name ONE person that has agreed with you.
pay attention, sweetheart.

ermfermoo is right. you dont support your arguments well at all. you just blab your opinion and expect everyone to fall in line without any explanation. because you "hate" layery vectors is not a sufficient explanation at all. furthermore, no one respects your opinion because we still have not seen any of your work. even if we did, we still wouldnt agree with you. there is no ONE way to vector something, like there is no ONE way to paint something.

i've given you three chances to come up with a response to that. (that vectoring is not a genre of art, but a technique, and people gravitate towards one or two genres they like, under their own accord). So far you've just ignored it. Is it because you HAVE no argument?

Ya I never disagreed to this statement. I never claimed it's a genre of art. I used a metaphor that made it appear so.

If there were people who agreed with me clearly there wouldn't be a need for this thread would there? The huge majority of people on this forum thinks of vectoring like you do. Clearly there won't be many people who share the same opinion as I do.

But it seems as if you're using that statement to imply that i'm wrong? Apparently when everyone who speaks up disagrees with you, means you're wrong. There's no wrong or right to art (surely as you know), so no I won't accept this as me being wrong. A difference in opinion does not equate to being wrong.

ermfermoo is right. you dont support your arguments well at all. you just blab your opinion and expect everyone to fall in line without any explanation. because you "hate" layery vectors is not a sufficient explanation at all.

Silly I didn't expect anyone to "fall in line" with my arguement. I expected people to see the thread, take a look and go " o interesting, something different". Who said I was here to fight to establish a right vectoring style? Furthermore I don't understand why I have to explain why I hate it? My opinion is not a precedent and requires so explaination. I'm not trying to sway your opinion to my side and I really don't care if you disagree. I'm trying to present a different side to it so others can see, not so that everyone will think the way I do.

furthermore, no one respects your opinion because we still have not seen any of your work. even if we did, we still wouldnt agree with you.

No, Futhermore, YOU don't respect my opinion. Don't speak for everyone as you yourself has establish that YOU are not the forum spokewomen. Everyone here has there own hands and can type for themself. They can tell me if they dissagree, not YOU.

there is no ONE way to vector something, like there is no ONE way to paint something.

Seriously do you read? Have I not establish the fact that there isn't one way of doing something? The whole point of the thread is to establish a different way of vextoring. Hence the description "A different take on what it looks like"

i've given you three chances to come up with a response to that. (that vectoring is not a genre of art, but a technique, and people gravitate towards one or two genres they like, under their own accord).

Oh silly, this is why you're WRONG. Read response above for this statement.

So far you've just ignored it. Is it because you HAVE no argument?

No, I ignored it because i didn't think of it as an argument, since I didn't disagree with that statement. But yes, I believe I do have an argument. It goes along the lines of what we've been disscussing. The DIFFERENT ways of vextoring, your look, and the way I like it. Okay to summarize- There is more to vextoring then the style that you do.
