Well due to this post mainly

I ended up giving vector a tryout and boy do I bite the weeny.
So half-asleep I decide to give the easy tutorial a try out and as I worked I found my patience for pathing not very high XD so I ended up zooming out and just ploink ploink plop plop BLAM ching . . scwing d'oh!! alt+ctrl+Z!! ploink ploink!!! and then I came out with the soriest excuse for an image XD
The image source I used
and finally my bleh

That's all right. You should have seen my first one. hehe...
I was feeling great about it that I used an extremely hard image( lots of lines and a dark image at that)
It ended up looking horrible w/ lots of broken lines. I just wanted to throw my monitor out the window!
Try out Shinta's pen tutorial. It might help.

I personally don't think it's easier with a graphic board . . . at least it felt bothersome since you don't draw out lines you just mark points and since you're zoomed in . . . using a mouse is less bothersome/tiresome as you can just relax your hand and place the point where you want it to adjust. Besides you can place a point and then use the arrow keys to adjust it to where you want it if you need to. Guess I should find another image to try. Wonder if I should try digi charat again since it has simple line characters at many points.

wrong,using the graphic tablet is a lot easier and less bothersome than the mouse,cause your hand is never tired and you are more precise,of course for big lines I use the pentool but for small points and color adjustment my graphic tablet is the best thing to use,any case i'm using it for a long time so whenever I open my photoshop I take my tablet,I cant use the mouse anymore :p

hmm maybe the genetic makeup of my hand differs from yours
Depends on the movement I suppose but since vector stuff uses the pentool and you're sooooooo zoomed in I don't really see the point of being more precise when you just can't miss it with the mouse. I mean how hard is it to miss a pixel that's so huge you can easily target it. At least when I'm lazying points I like to be zoomed in nicely . . at least thus far >_> but I haven't really messed with the curve adjustment thing. Maybe I'm just not used to my wacom tablet yet >_> but when I hold it I have to gently slide it or I might accidently lay a waypoint which means I'm holding back a little thus tiring my hand out. Sure if I'm drawing images or coloring it's perfectly fine . .no big problems at all. *shrugs* to each his own ^^

I ended up joining ferricorp and asked around for information on how-to's
Is it worthy enough for the board?

Thanks, thanks!
...but, I've still got ways to go.
coloring it was actually 'fun' and easier than tracing it. but a little time-consuming. It almost feels like being a five-year old coloring a drawing.
Chiyuri-chan! ♥_♥ I hope I see more of her.

I'm working on something right now. I'm hoping I'll finish it by Sunday or earlier. You guys should join me.
Vectoring is fun and 'feels' easy. ...but sometimes it's not. -_-;

Yea, I would be very interested in any details on how you did it. I have tried vectoring before and it was crap. haha
