Description
So, yeah... hopefully this helps some people...Honestly, I don't think I could do a video, or live tutorial... This stuff is kinda really hard for me to explain, because I'm at the point where this sorta stuff is instinctual. I don't need to think about how to do certain things, I just do them.

Sooo... there's no way to convert a Line Shape to Filled Shape?

Not really. If you used the fill option on the lined shape, it'd just fill the area in between the lines with colour.
You could use the line shape as a base, and trace around it, to create a new, filled shape.

What is the highest quality method to export the images?

Right clicking the image, selecting "save as image", and then saving it as a PNG

Set as Default shape:
You can format the appearance of a shape or text box, and then designate it as the new default format for that open file.
After that, any new shapes or text boxes that you add to your file will use that formatting.
For example, if you set a blue shape as the default, any new shape you add will keep the styles of that blue shape, meaning all the new shapes will be blue.
I personally use it to keep the default border weight the same.

Just made my first vector based off of this tutorial! It wasn't too hard and didn't take horribly long and I recommend anyone trying it! Thanks, zacatron!
Here it is:

So, since I own the necessary program and I've been wanting to try this for a while, I'll give it a go. My problem is getting crisp and clean images to vector, where do you get your screencaps? Also, how do YOU find which poses you want from four seasons of pony?

Zacatron94 In reply to KingArthur5 [2015-02-15 19:46:56 +0000 UTC]
I just look up the episodes in HD on DailyMotion, and I either just remember scenes that have the poses I need, or I make the pose myself.

I love Rainbow's reactions! Reminds me of those old Goofy cartoons where they use him to teach us things like how to ski.

For layering, Outline always goes above color and this is how I usually do it.
Tail > Body > Wings (Optional) > Facial Features > Mane
I haven't tried vectoring a unicorn yet.

first let me say I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU SOO MUCH RIGHT NOW! (i have been doing this for school projects and stuff and never realized it can be applied this way )
second - let me apologize for my first out burst AND HOPEFULLY make your life easier and your vectoring faster
1 - this also works in Microsoft word
2 - panel 9 and 10 - you should be able to change line thickness, right click line - format shape - line style - width TRUST ME YOU WANT TO DO THIS INSTEAD
BECAUSE
3 - take the WHOLE traced image (or piece by piece if that is easier) with out the filled in color (make sure all your lines are "closed" with no open spaces between one section of color to the next) and copy it/them
NOW
4- open (for the really cheep) the paint program that came with your computer - other wise download a free paint/vector program like gimp or inkscape (highly recommend just because of the better color wheel and is more user friendly)
5- PASTE the image(s) in to the paint program
6 - lazy says use eye dropper to select show accurate color the fill bucket to fill correct area with said color , CTRL-Z to undo mistakes, add lines, zoom , erase excess / over extending lines - you get the idea
the only problem would be the eyes because of the white space - use a thin show accurate skin colored line to out line between the white part of the eyes and the skin of the char
really hopes this helps you
i will accept a super massive pony pile picture as a thank you (make sure think pink is at the bottom)
i mean ... i would like to see in one picture a MASSIVE pile of ponies (how many do you think you can draw and fit into panel or several comic panels) with think pink at the bottom (and maybe pitch right on top of him so he cant run from her imminent beating for no apparent reason)
EDIT: just realized for the outlines (panels 9 and 10 again) if your doing them your way you caould make a outline line , copy , paste it , select and shift it, then edit the points to "close" the line instead of double tracing
