For some time that Isee people that don´t now what is vector!

They talk in pictures and pixels. They say that are creating vector art in photoshop and when they enlarge the image, they see large pixels. That is not vector! That one image with pixels like a photo.

Vector is draw with programs like corel or illustrator, were the lines are mathematical formulas. Were you say to the computer (I want one anchor point here and another here) and the computer draw a line or a gradient. You don´t paint like in photoshop.

Vector don´t have pixel.

Vector can by scale to any size without lost any quality.

What a vector file looks like.

For me the most difficult is the concept and not the design. What to draw is what people who talk to me always say.

In this example the first I do is the idea. I start to think in what was the concept of good and wrong and I realized that they are opposite one to the other. With that idea I start imagine a cartoon devil and one angel turn back one to the other.

Make some sketch on a paper sheet, and when a get the idea I scan that to illustrator.

In my opinion, in this type of illustration, the most important is the black color. Must had bold lines to give this cartoon looks. And more important is the movement, the cartoon must have movement, be graceful, like they are alive.

All of this was made with the pen tool. After the black is time to give some ...

How to draw a flower vector.

First i start by doing a sketch in a paper, basically doing some arcs and curves, from where i want my draw stars and ends.

Try not to break the curves. The draw must be smooth.

After scan the sketch to illustrator, draw on top of the image with the pen tool, adding some simple leafs and flowers.

Must pay attention to the balance of the all image. Don´t make more leafs or objects in one side of the image causing the final result out of balance and nasty.

After the motive is drawn make a nice background or fit with the whole composition.

One of the most useful tool for isolated objects and almost no one pay attention is the Color Range in Photoshop.

After you open your document, you can find this tool in the upper menu, in select/color-range.

This powerful tool gives you the ability to isolate that background that is almost white but not totally. By selecting with the eyedropper tool what you want to delete this powerful tool will create a mask of what is necessary and then you can easily erase the background.

Give it a try and see how easy that is!
