Description
I say vector, but technically it's not. Probably a vexel, but to be honest I really don't know what a vexel is. I'm going to call it a vector even though I know it's not.Anyhoo, joy! Only took four hours (I only know because I started after House, which ends at 11, and it's 3 now). I am in love with this. I really love how it came out, especially the eyes (which is totally the doing of [link] whose lips and eye tutorials I used for this).
Just to be vain, cc's discouraged. You can give it if there's something really off to you (I know the skin tone's not great, but I'm not very good at getting realistic skintones and the one from the picture was too grey), but be gentle
;.[Edit: Scratch that, go ahead and criticise if you want
. I changed the eyes a little bit, but not as much as they really need. I never like going back and changing things, I prefer just doing them differently the next time.]For the record, this is the picture I used > [link] - yes, the hat is a different colour. Shush.
(I tried linking to the picture itself, but it confused itself XD)

A vexel is pretty much a vector, but a vector is only considered a vector if its done using paths, and if its saved like, as a.flash file or something XD So pretty much as soon as you save a vector as a jpg, it becomes a vexel. Gorgeous though! I'm in LOVE with that hat, it's sooo awesome, and hats are so hard to draw! That hair is sooo pretty as well, I lurv your techniche!

Ahh, I am enlightened. So all that time when people said they'd made vectors, were they wrong, had they really made vexels? O_o. It's neither here nor there to me, to be honest, people know what they mean XD.
Hats I can do, it's hair I can't be bothered with ><. Too strandy.

Good face shading! I'm so proud. *snif*
First there's pixels, then vectors, and now vexels? @@

Thank you much ^^. Shading is so much easier when there's something to copy! It's making it up myself that I can't do
Just a few months ago no one ever talked about vexels, or at least not that I saw. Now I see them all over the place, but they just look like vectors to me. Eh.

I haven't seen anything on them... But I'm not as tuned to the dolling community as you probably are. I make dolls by the hundreds but yeah. And then I keep them from public view because I'm weird like that.
Shading is ALWAYS easier with a reference! I just usually don't have one. lol So, I've learned to make do... And try to imagine what it would be like.
I don't really care for copying stuff. Had to do too much of it in highschool art classes. I prefer to let my imagination run wild. For instance, to me, mermaids live off of seaweed. So, it would then stand to reason that they be slightly anatomically different than humans other than a fish tail. Such as smaller wrists, different ears (I don't always do pointy, sometimes I make them resemble fins in a way), eyebrows, etc. I like to think they have scales on their backs, esp. along the spine.
But I'm getting WAY of track. Happens when I'm tired. LoL

When I'm just doodling or whatever I don't tend to worry about accurate shading - same with dolling. Only when I try to draw realistically I get all confused because cartoony shading doesn't work. I've been practising vectoring without using photos, but they just turn out so much nicer with them.
Heh, get some sleep!

Sleep? Okay. *falls asleep on CB and drools on her keyboard*
I have a hard time NOT shading. If there's something I'm not supposed to shade on or give too much detail to, I struggle.
A lot.
And refs do tend to help... I just like to do my best to throw them out the window.
