Previous part: [link] Next part: [link] EDIT: Previous version of this tutorial was submitted over a year ago reference image used (c) =Washu-M -------------------------------------- As you can see, after several months of making promises, I finally finished my vectoring tutorial This tutorial was strongly influenced by Unmeis Tracing Tutorial on Ferricorp.Com. I learned how to vector from him. Its a good, beginner-friendly tutorial and so far I was linking it to all people who asked me for vectoring guidelines but one day I decided to make my own version [longer, a little more detailed, with a few of pieces of advice and my own thoughts]. If there are any parts you find unclear, please dont hesitate to note me. Ill try to explain it for you once again in different words, if possible. Also, Ill be more than happy to see your own vectors, made with the help of this tutorial. ^.^ Id like to thank =Realm-Of-The-Shadows for checking my spelling and grammar Its also the right place to say thank you to all my watchers who offered their help as beta-testers Disclaimer: Vectoring screenshots and scans [in other words: tracing them directly line by line] is against dA policy. As far as I know, if someone reports your vector trace while providing original screenshot/scan you used, it will be removed from your gallery. Thats why I encourage you to treat screenshot/scan vectors only as a form of practice before you move on to more complicated things. You can vector your own drawings and sketches, other peoples linearts and/or drawings [after asking them for permission, of course], realistic photos [photo traces are allowed, as realistic trace demands more time, skills and creativity than anime ones] or images combined from several screenshots [as I sometimes do]. In other words - please keep in mind that when you submit screenshot/scan vector trace to your gallery, you do that at your own risk. According to dA policy, it doesn't belong here: it should stay on your hard disk. My intention isn't to encourage you to trace and I take no responsibility if you decide to submit a direct vector trace to dA. |

ALL THE COOL KIDS ARE READING IT
I'm kinda reverse engineering kinda guy.
It depends ;] Sometimes I find a really great screenshot and I start thinking it's a shame that it'll stay forever as just another screencap while it should be made into separate artwork. You know, in case of the scan you don't have to trace it - you can buy the artbook/calendar/magazine/postcard/poster/whatever, if you like it that badly. With a screenshot you cannot do the same - it'll stay digital forever even if you buy the DVD [I doubt somebody would do this only for a single screenshot though
But in many cases, it all starts when I want to see a certain character in a certain pose, with a certain facial expression, or certain outfit
