First Human Vector

 Here we have version one of my very first vector attempt. No fancy backgrounds or funk designs flailing out from his head/face, just a fairly clean look at my friend from a flat, vectored perspective.

Here we have the opposite of everything I just said. Flailing designs and a touch of blue included. Which is more interesting? That question depends entirely on the personality of the person viewing it.











How It's DONE
You're probably wondering how I achieved something so amazing as this. Wait, you're not? Well I shall express this info to you through text despite what you replied with in your minds.

For this, I had an image reference. Using the pentool, I traced along the edges of his face creating a solid colour shadow of his neck/head. The rest was also done entirely with the pentool, just adding new layers on top of new layers on top of new layers on top of ne- you get the point. All in all, very time consuming, but I will surely do it again.

For the background, I drew a few circles just using the circle selection tool. I used an illustration from a "Lucid Arts" pack that I downloaded as a reference to the designs flowing from behind. I used a blue duplicate of the design to match his glasses. In the end, I applied everything to one layer and made a basic, white outline to help it stand out. His name was just a scribble of my tablet. Sorry, *beautiful* scribble of my tablet, also included in on the white outline fun.
