Vector art

[RBL]

Don´t be scared. It´s just me :D

cool... I like it ... the text is nice too... what programs did you use?

[RBL]

he he it´s just photoshop. It isn´t a real vector art, all done with the polygonal lazoo. But it´s a good way to get started in the vectorart ;)
The logo is mine.:D

You might create darker areas to give it some contrast, try importing it into Illustrator or other vector. Or import a picture of yourself into Photoshop, posterize it to 5 levels and take it into your vector application to retrace it there.
I love this kind of "dry" shading, no gradients.

3Dan-3DT - I tryed to add darken areas but they make the image less fresh. So I only used lights and highlights. Posterize is an easy way to locate the gradient levels but it drains a creative part. And if we are talking about of "repaint" a photo with plain colors the creativity part is less than 0.
When I do a composition or a draw using reference images or registerde images I want to create something new with it. Not a recoloured, repainted or redrawed one. Thats the only way I tolerate the usage of reference material. For me and for others.;)

RBL, it's very nice. it's very clean and effective. I also like the logo very much. I'd like to see some more of this, but I'd like to see it, pulled into more graphics design elements, something bigger. Great stuff.

[3Dan]

I see your point and totally agree.
My suggestion is due to my love of vector art, i work in Illustrator and Corel, never use the gradient tool and seldom the blend tool. It's hard edges for me!;)

me...

[RBL]

tobes - I would be glad to see your Topic-related-artwork but this thread is for me ;) And that pic is offensive and breaks the first rule of vector art: No Blurred edges.

I like your self portrait in vector art, i've never thought about drawing myself in that style. It's a great piece of art though, well done.

Would you mind if other people posted their own pieces of vector art here ??

[RBL]

Thanks Jazzy.
We could open a "vectorart thread" ;)
