Vector Images

Post by amfest »

Well due to this post mainly

viewtopic.php?t=35

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

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 :P 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?

:D 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.

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