Description
This is a tutorial on how I vector ponies in Photoshop. Even if you do it yourself it might serve some useful tips. But I have to say, it was really hard trying to put everything you know down like that. Probably forgot some :/Final image:

If i may ask, where did you go to instal your Photoshop? I tryed to do a vector, but a few days after i posted it, someone wrote a commentary saying it wasn't a real vector, because the outline of a real vector usualy is pixelated, so now that i found a tutorial that shows me how to vector, i just need to know how i can find Photoshop so i can instal it to start making real vectors. GOD, this is tiring!Β
Β It's just that this is my first time, and also because i used a tutorial to make bases so i didn't really know. But i think it's mostly because i forgot to search for a tutorial for vector. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to let me know of my error so ican fix it! It's also good to know there is still pepole on DeviantArt that are still active!
A few minutes later...
Okay! So here's the thing: *Deep Breath*Β Β
1. I searched for a tutorial to make mlp vectors, and i realized that i don't have to right program to do it, because the program i used to make my Twilight not-really vector is a normal program that i don't really know how it's called.
2. I don't what the name of the program i need is, and even if i would, i don't where i have to go to instal it, or how to instal it.
3. I don't even know how to take screen-shots.
But i guess that's only a small price to pay when you start your artist career, even just on internet...Β

Photoshop isn't vector software, you can only use tool used in vectors, but finished images aren't real vectors.
Vectors are images, when they're scaled they don't loose quality.
And their file format is .svg
Not vectors file format is png, jpg, bmp, tiff...
The best real vector softwares are:
Inkscape (free)Β https://inkscape.org/download/
Adobe Illustrator (paid)
Adobe Flash (paid, it's mostly for animation)

I'm really looking forward on learning how to make vectors but I don't the Apple Software, only the windows. Is there any other program that can be used on making vectors?
I heard there is Inkscape, but it doesn't seem to be useful once I downloaded it.

This was done in Photoshop, which is also available for Windows.

OH, ok. Thank you.

Of course, the problem with Photoshop is that it'll still cost you an arm and a leg, but luckily there are many different alternatives. Like you said, Inkscape is a very nice free alternative to Illustrator. And for Photoshop, we have GIMP. The basic functions are the same, and both programs can produce amazing artwork if used correctly. All they differ from each other is a slighty modified control scheme. So download those, look up tutorials for them, and only when you are feeling limited by their performance, or require advanced options you could consider getting PS or Illustrator.
These artworks , for example are created by only using GIMP!

Thank you for all that help. I'm very new to vectoring so first off, I'll start by downloading Inkscape. Hope its easy to use.

Sure, I tinkered with it somewhat myself, and you can't do much wrong. An easy tutorial to start with is a step-by-step, that you can draw along by (at least, I find them easy).
Remember, curiosity can get you far, just try all the tools and see what you can do with them.

Great tutorial! Now I wished I'd have read this first before I rasterized all of my vectors in order to fill in the colors... I sure feel stupid...

I need help: I've tried saving my vectors with a transparent background, but It never works. Is there a specific file type it needs to be saved as? (I use Photoshop CS3)
π: 0 β©: 0
I really cannot get past the first part. How do I out line it?
π: 0 β©: 0
Thanks a lot for the tutorial! I used it to make my first vector. ^_^
π: 0 β©: 0
What do I save the file as? I just did my first vector... and I have no idea how to save it. (its meh quality)
π: 0 β©: 1
If you want to keep all the layers, then you should save it as Photoshop (PSD I think).
If you don't, then the best file type I know is PNG. It keeps the quality and don't blur it. I use it on my pictures.

Photoshop stopped working, so I just got inkscape.
π: 0 β©: 1
It probably has it's own file type too.

Oh, this is going to hurt. I can't seem to get past the first part of this step...
π: 0 β©: 1
Same with me. :/

What do you guys mean by the first step?
As in, how to make the vector after clicking the pen tool?
Hope y'all've already figured it out.

Thanks for the tutorial! But I still have a silly question. What do I save the file as?

Do you know if there is any possible way to use the pen tool in Photoshop Elements 9?
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't think so...
My main experience is with the Photoshop CS series. :/

Bleh. I will have to invest on a different program then. But thanks anyway! ^__^
