I'm starting to improve(I think).

Don't kill me, it's only my 3rd full size vector.

Thanks. I think this is the first time I had a clear picture in my head of what it was going to be. Usually I just make stuff as I go along.

Very nice

[Armada]

wow that is soooo great.. you gotta teach me vector pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[InFnit]

Hey! Well done! That's great but try to do a person or someone that means you have to use the pen tool and lots and lots of layers...in other words tackle something that'll challenge you and take effort...it's the only way to learn!

[Iysha]

that does look really good i love work like that

[ThaBirdman]

very nice, you certainly are improving!

Love the vector style man. Ur great at it. BTW, most of those shapes you use on the vector.... how did you get them? They look great. Like under the vertical lines its all rounded off. And the flower that grew "Up" how did you get those soft shapes.

Also, the entire picture has just..... a ... um.... a "soft" look to it. Is it a weak gaussian, or what? I really like a ton man. Please reply to this.

Well...

The rounded off ones are pen tool custom shapes, I'm working on a full set of them.

The soft edges are a 20 percent opacity outer glow of the same color as the shape.

Most of the shapes I use come with photoshop, but I've begun to make my own.

What also adds to the "soft" effect is the contrast between shades, I always use swatches, they are pretty much just a palette really, you should always use one when you pick your colors, there are plenty of different sets to play with.

But I'm still new to this, you'll see more custom shapes soon. I don't plan on doing more vectors until I've finished my set.

One easy effect is the circles, there are solid ones, medium outline ones, and thick outline ones, I've seen people make awesome vectors with just circles, it's really easy to do.

Thank you for your interest!

[Silwolffe]

You're very talented with your vectors, I enjoy seeing your work.

I'm motivated to try my own hand at vector art.

[Dark element]

I might be nicer if the most of shapes were made by you and not just plain old custom shapes good effort though.
