may i know what program can make such vector ? im currently using photosop cs2



thx in advance

For the shape I guess you can use pen tool to make it...
and for the grunge patterns, as the artist said, they're made with brushes...

hm..guess it i gotta spend some time on the brushes then...but the curves @ the pic are just simply amazing =/

for something like this, i'd find the most difficult part the curves.. to make it look 'right'..

actually u gotta draw it, line by line, path by path, dats time consuming

yeah, somehow the curve really headache

i downloaded few brushes ..and what i can say u really need to find a suitable ones to blend with one another

hmm isnt all this curve line can easilly done by using a tablet. with pressure sensitivity and all,,

i dun have a tablet right now, so i am not sure,

nah... let's say you have a watercolour brush, can you draw this in one line by just simply control the pressure? I don't know if there's any pro here can do that, but I'm a tablet user too and I found it's not so easy to control... the pressure detection is only used to make it realistic, but not to draw something 'artificial' like this...

from my point of view. the curves are drawn with vector programs like Illustrator, then erased with grunge brushes in Photoshop.


to make things easy, its best to sketch it out with pencil and paper first. then scan it and start tracing it urself.

Contrary to popular belief, Live Tracing sucks.
It looks like a very blurry vector.

But compared to that S-O-B pen tool, I have to say, Live Tracing works... just fine. ^^;
