Description I saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith last night and well Mrs. Smith is too hot to not be vectored. Hehe, it doesn't really look like Jolie but hey nor did the stock photo. I've been wanting to move away from the realistic vectors and working with highlights like this is kinda fun after doing life drawing. Took a few hours, believe it or not deciding what to do with the vectored image took as long as vectoring it! It not what I wanted to do after all, so now I must find another pic and do a more simplistic overexposed vector.

Comments and favorites appreciated!
Must full view!

I hope you like it!

i mean like, not as in layers, as in, how you set up all your windows and what settings you have on, like do you put smart guides on etc, 'cause smart guides gets really annoying for me

expansiondesign In reply to schism-art [2005-06-16 03:27:45 +0000 UTC]

sevtech [2005-06-16 01:48:50 +0000 UTC]

i just notice that this piece is getting darker in the skin tone...but at the top part around in the face, there's too much lighting...i don't know if that's what its suppose to be according to your reference...

expansiondesign In reply to sevtech [2005-06-16 02:37:46 +0000 UTC]

skin is lighter - darks are darker - less washed out and matches stock iamge.

sevtech In reply to expansiondesign [2005-06-16 03:30:18 +0000 UTC]

hoopz4life121 [2005-06-15 17:46:04 +0000 UTC]

i love the vector and the background design, but i really dislike the color and brightness. a more dark/contrasted blue/black background would have looked better in my opinion. wonderful work nonetheless.
