Hi y'all! I'm interest in vectoring. But not sure where to start! >.< Maybe start by mastering the pen tool I think?

Anyway, please guide me o' mighty ones

i think you should start with downloading some e-books and learn from it...
easier though....

Great idea. I just grabed some tutorials from deviantART and from here, I just want to share y'all thoughts

well, what i can say is that learn to use both photoshop and illustrator, not only photoshop... coz illustrator is much more better vector base software than photoshop... but to use it a bit hard though... but anyways, keep on learning...

Thanks. Still, Illustrator is still the best tool for vectoring, true?

yeah... i myself still learning illustrator... me noob sia...

Flash is also able to produce vector graphics

yea true, illustrator is still the best for vector. I was once a noob in using vector, so I dare not touch illustrator till i know the way of using vector in photoshop then i dare to use illustrator. Btw, after adobe bought macromedia, the functions in flash increased as well as flash is more user friendly. xD

Never tried flash before. Mind sharing some opinions on that? I mean some comparison between flash and adobe ps/illu?

from what i experienced... illus are more good in vector design furthermore u can make nice nice motion graphics with after effects... flash also can do the same.. just not so seamless as illus..

but if u do beautiful vectors in flash.. so it's easy to animate in flash..

In fact, no matter what program or tools you use, creativity is your limit here., just that Adobe Illustrator provides a more comprehensive tools and better functionality which let you done more work in less time. Keep in mind that things that can be done in Illustrator can also be done in flash, just that it consumes more time. For vector animation instead, Flash does a better job. There's no ultimate 'tool' in vectoring, just your creativity and imagination.

Let's put vector tool aside. Now, let's focus on certain parts of a potrait. Share you experiece please

well i think the main thing is, you send Illustrator AI to print company but not Flash Fla.

For me I only use Illustrator AI when the work will be send to print.
