CCC Entry - Vectoring

[Millenium]

Did all the vectoring by myself FTW I'm happy how it looks but it took me all night and I was supposed to study. Sigh.



V2: Fixed light. More shades added.

Ooh, pretty. The lighting is off though. Since the setting is pretty dark, some of that should show on the focal too and the placement of the light source is distracting. I'd put it somewhere else or at least move it closer to him since light source is usually for enforcing attention on the focal.

Minor details: This is probably your first time vectoring an LP and it's awesome for a first time. If not, then it's still cool lols. Just that the skin is single colored so you might need to put in some more shades in there to make it even more real like you did with the tie.

But yeah, sexy vectoring there. Looks like snudge has some competition. Style, style, style.

You're kind of right. I'll experiment with it a bit more but I think it was more for the flow because you generally "look up" to the brighter spots. Maybe I'll tone it down but putting it closer to the focal, I dunno. I'm kind of hesistant to place light in the middle of the piece.

Yeah it was =\ and it was hell. I don't even want to THINK about the skin T_T But I guess will fix it up when I can.

Yeah, actually you can use PS to vector also (you are using illustrator, correct?. It involves some brushing in the colors in until they can transition quite smoothly to each color, but it does take a lot of attention into detail. So you'll find yourself switching between PS and Illus. You can play around with the hardness/opacity settings and such. I can give you a good example of this if you'd like.

Again, sexy vectoring. Takes a lot of patience to perfect. I've tried vectoring a lot, but not on people. usually just objects like oranges, a car or something.
