Old thread (>>1687414) at image limit.
Very basic tutorial on how these are made:
http://dashinghero.deviantart.com/art/Vector-Wallpaper-Tutorial-399883993
Request from last thread.
>>1690459
Maybe. I actually don't want to, they are pretty complex and I think they would take away from the simplistic nature.
Also I made one of the 3rd book cover I kinda didn't know what to do with this one. http://bookalicious.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Endsinger.jpg
Requesting this, background color doesn't matter.

>>1689639
Another rerequest to add to the bunch.
>>1689775

Again, you realize this is cut off on 3 sides, right?
Re- Requesting this one, >>1689871
>>1690629
>>1690640
I would assume he wants it as a phone wallpaper?
>>1690637
>>1690675
Thanks anon ^_^
>>1689759
Rerequesting please.
Re requesting
>>1690326
>>1690656
yes thats exactly right, ill keep in mind to specify/have images that aren't cut off in the future
but thank you!
Wait what
When did the minimalist threads become the "Faceless characters on a flat background" thread?
Requesting this please, if any anon would be so kind.
my 2nd time doing one of these. any tips/tricks would be appreciated. Also left the armor on cuz i thought it made it pop
>inb4 shit
>>1690121
re request please
>>1690882
Leaving the armor was pretty interesting but it kinda clashes with the minimalist feel to me. I would like to see the original image as well.
There seems to be some strange artifact near the top of the page and the her outline seems pretty rough, like where I circled on the hair it seems like a white background is peeking out or something. On her leg that line is jagged. It kinda looks like there are lines sticking out from the original image
Is anyone able to perform your wizardry and simplify this up for me please (I don't mind background colours and would prefer phone background proportions sorry if I am unclear) thanks :D
>>1690888
heres the original. and yea, i noticed some jagginess, but im not really sure how to fix it. could probably do it in photoshop, but i use gimp
>>1690890
I'd like to have this in a desktop wallpaper, though. Not the guy who requested, but if it's possible...
>>1690894
As far as I know gimp is not a very optimal program to make vectors. Since you are using gimp I'm assuming you don't have the adobe programs. A free program that is used for vectors is Inkscape. If you want to make better vectors you should look into that program or investing in illustrator
>>1690896
alright, ill try that then. thanks for the info
>>1690890
wowowowowow nice..!!
>>1690594
id also like to see this
Requesting this:
>>1690932
And this:
If possible, just post the vector on a high resolution.
Requesting
Is possible to turn this into a minimalist wallpaper ?
>>1690887
I'm working on this.
Just finished my first minimalist wallpaper. Turned out better than I thought. The only thing I didn't like is Fujimiyas head form. Tips would be nice from professionals ^-^
>>1690990
It's good.
>from professionals
But no one here is a professional.
>>1690990
Looks perfectly fine.
>>1690870
Since forever?
If you're expecting vectors, then go to the vector thread. Minimalism is about reduction to base features.
I got bored last night and decided to try my hand at one of these.
If anybody sees any mistakes lemme know and I'll fix 'em.
>>1688150
Re-requesting
>>1691001
I dunno if its just me and I'm inexperienced at this however I find that the background messes with my eyes. That could just be that my eyesight is a pile of shit :P
>>1691001
The background is too busy and strong, it also makes it impossible to give any critique because it distracts from the actual border of the character.
Three things.
1. If you want critiques, post the image at a higher resolution (300 PPI/DPI should be fine).
2. Post it as a transparent. It makes it easier to critique, and 9 times out of 10, the person would rather use their own background design or color than the one you chose anyway.
3. Post a link to the original for better critiques. You may be able to reverse image search a vector in the vector thread since it looks the same, but these minimal images are beyond that.
>>1691006
>>1691007
Sorry, I dislike flat backgrounds so I always add a bit of texture to them, but I understand where you're coming from and that's easy enough to fix on my end.
Here you go.
>>1691010
Its not your fault, we all have things we hate :) Again in not the most expert of people here however I would say that's pretty great
>>1690594
I'll do it.
For best girl, of course.
>>1690975
Thanks for working on it!
>>1690990
Looks great, except the lines on her shirt are a bit rough.
>>1691037
I didn't know what background color to use.
Did you want it for a phone wallpaper I can change the resolution.
>>1691054
>pen girl
oh god I lost it
>>1691055
Well its time to find it friend.
now she has a whole shoe
>>1691056
Wait, was pen girl not a joke?
>>1691059
Okay I legit thought it was a giant pen but
is it some sort of shell? Its too late now
>>1691058
I got you
>>1691051
Yeah, I thought her sleeves looked kinda weird too--I think because the lower portion of her shirt is a different colour than the top and her sleeves--but other than adding a shadow I couldn't think of a way to make it look any better and I felt like that would take away from the minimalism of the image.
Here's the vector alone at high-res, and the source image is at danbooru /posts/1223108 if anybody cares.
>>1691062
LOL, you clearly have not watched the show or know anything about it.
>>1691068
Couple errors. Some of the hair by the right side of her neck is peeking through. The hair should be over her breast instead of under it, like in the original. The left strap for her shirt isn't connected to the skin. The bottom leg lines need to go under the artboard, or you just need to export with artboard on.
Can someone do it for me?
Here's a pic that i'd like
>>1691070
I thought I'd caught all those, good eye.
Also I have no idea what artboard is, so I just evened out the nodes at the bottoms of the legs.
how could I do minimalism in photoshop?
>>1691078
An artboard is basically the boundaries of an image that you set for the program to recognize. What you want to do at the beginning of every image that you decide to vector is to select the original image, and fit the artboard to it, and then lock that image. Then you make another layer above where you can freely draw inside and outside of the artboard and it will only export what is included within the artboard, provided you tell it to.
Here is how you fit it in both Illustrator and Inkscape. To export with Artboards in Illustrator, you select the checkbox "Use Artboards" in the export window. In Inkscape, you select "Page" in the export window.
>>1691082
You use the pen tool and fill the colors. It is a waste to do it in Photoshop though, since it is a raster program. It is much more beneficial to do it in Illustrator, Inkscape, or any other vector based program, so that it could be resized to any resolution without a loss in quality.
>>1691085
That's incorrect, the pen tool creates vector paths in Photoshop. It only rasterizes it if you convert your path to a selection instead of a shape.
>>1691100
You can create vector paths in Photoshop, but the fill within will become rasterized. It is basically having vector containers filled with a raster, which is not a true vector. It then becomes what is called a "vexel", where it will look almost identical to a vector, but suffer pixelation when resized. Considering that is what will ultimately happen to these images, it would be a waste to do it in Photoshop.
The best you could do would be to make the vector shapes in Photoshop, and then convert it over to a proper vector program. By that point you are already wasting time when you can just create it right in the first place.
>>1691106
After using Photoshop for 10 years is there any chance of me being able to effectively use Illustrator, or are they too different?
>>1691109
I'm learning Inkscape after eight years of GIMP; at least PhotoShop and Illustrator are both made by Adobe.
>>1691109
I don't normally use Photoshop, but I know the pen tool is very similar to the one in Illustrator. I just tested it briefly. I was able to do almost everything I am used to doing in Illustrator with the same tool.
The layering and how you make fills may be different, but that is very easy to learn. The important part is that the pen tool functions the same way.
>>1691124
Grandpa, that's not minimalist.
wanted to ask on but saw his on the old thread
>>1687929
Is there a tutorial to do this or something?
>>1691128
That type of image is closer to a full vector that includes lineart. The tutorial above in this thread will not help you learn how to make fills for lineart, as minimals remove all the lineart. The vector thread has tutorials that would help with that >>1689892
Please read/watch the tutorials carefully so you don't make a vector as shit as that one you linked to.
Hm, thanks for the clarification, I'm still pretty new to the entire vector thing
>>1690568
>http://bookalicious.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Endsinger.jpg
Oh shit I didn't know the third one was this close to release, I still haven't finished kinslayer.
And that looks pretty nice. Good job, anon.
Requesting, please.
This one is a good size for phones
>>1691109
There's no reason to think you can't learn illustrator unless you're mentally disabled or something.

Can I get this in 1080 please? Thanks.
>>1691169
Kinslayer is really good I might make a minimalist wallpaper for that cover but it looks really hard.
If you like those books you might want to try Dark Light of Day by Jill Archer
these two, please

The yellow is so light that it looks white and thus the glove and hair blend together.
>>1690568
>Maybe. I actually don't want to, they are pretty complex and I think they would take away from the simplistic nature.
Removing tats would be like removing a mole or a scar or a fashion accessory.
It's what makes this picture unique and different from others, it may be difficult but if you do it right it could end up looking very good.
Can someone do this for me?
I don't mind what you do with the background, whether you keep the stripe-and-spots thing or just make it solid colour. (If you're minimalising the background as well, could you add in the corners?)
>>1691213
She looks weird, like that old lady saying 'wat'.
>>1691229
i think he means 1080p..
Which would be 1920x1080
>>1691417
I made it for fun. doing the tattoos doesn't look fun. I thought about it but naw. I mean the tattoos do define her but it looks too hard
>>1691342
If no one has picked it up by Saturday I'm tempted to pick it up myself and give it a shot. Might take a while and be awful but still :p
first time making one - howd i do?
may make some request later on
>>1691470
very rough, you also left a border around her shirt.
>>1691470
You definitely didn't export it correctly. You have pixelated edges everywhere.
>>1691470
if you made it from a smaller image then rescaled it, that can reaveal some mistakes like the line around her shirt
Also you might want to export it as a png
>>1691062
haha oh my god
>>1691453
>but it looks too hard
sad panda.
>>1691500
Don't export as a JPG. Export as a PNG.
>>1691500
It's a bit small for a wallpaper. Try 1920x1080
pls
>>1691503
Progress... http://i.imgur.com/CGi3if6.png
1. I'm being lazy and leaving stuff out
2. its gonna turn out bad because the image and my vector are scaled differently
This is so hard :/
Can someone do this if it isnt too hard? Background color can be something that you think would look good.
When I use the original .png files from these threads as wallpapers they turn pixelated around edges and things, I've had to convert them to .jpg is there any way to fix this?
what it looks like - http://a.pomf.se/zkkpst.png
(I'm using windows 7 64bit btw)
>>1691573
Windows converts your wallpapers to .jpg automatically. I haven't tried, but here's a link to a possible workaround: http://superuser.com/questions/507097/stop-windows-8-from-converting-wallpapers-to-low-quality-jpgs
>>1691573
Happens to me too. Whenever I add a new wallpaper to my rotation now I check if it gets auto compressed, and if it does I run it though online convert. Just using anything that can convert an image to jpg without any compression is the best way around it. I searched quite a bit for a better way, and there doesn't seem to be one.
>>1691573
Yeah, as previously stated Windows stores your wallpapers as a jpg and applies awful compression when you try to use a png; your best bet is downloading a program that lets you tweak your jpg settings on export.
Irfanview and GIMP are both freeware programs with this capability, with Irfanview being more a replacement for Windows Picture Viewer that just happens to be able to save images in other formats and GIMP being a PhotoShop replacement.

heres another one i did, i see where i messed up in my 1st one
may start on some later once i get off work
>>1691592
oh shit, didnt notice i did that
>>1691592
I circled some things I noticed
1. the left ear is pretty pointy. The image you chose may actually look like that but at your discretion if you dont like that smooth it out
2. her collar/neck i can see the background poking out. What i would do is put the shirt behind the skin then expand the shirt so there is a pseudo border created by her skin
3. her other ear and her neck i see a brown line im not too sure what that is about
Need this for my phone
>>1691600
what kind of phone do you have?
>>1691602
Lg g2
>>1691503
>>1691417
I did it. The worth to effort ratio is pretty shitty but I did it. Also not eating or cleaning up to do this was also not worth it

>>1690978
Alright if no one can do this, that's cool, but could someone post some nexus 5 minimal posters? Anybody have any good nexus 5 minimals?
>>1691600
Do you have the picture in a higher resolution?
>>1691629
It's been done as a vector already. It shouldn't be hard to convert it to minimalism from it.
http://www.deviantart.com/art/Kill-La-Kill-1-405186416

>>1690594
Rias certainly made things hard.

>>1691606
Damn fine job anon. Damn fine.
>>1691630
Shame he's only got the .png and not the .ai/.svg up on his dA
>>1691646
Even if he had the Ai file, he most likely didn't try to make the colors below the lines perfect, so you really aren't losing anything at all by doing it from the PNG. Be thankful he uploaded a large one to make it even easier for you.
does anyone have any yuki nagato ones?
Requesting pic related
Thanks in advance
Probably mistakes everywhere cause I did it fast :c If you want it phone size crop it yourself.
Posting again cause shitty quality (my bad)
>>1691718
If you're going to post a ridiculous-resolution version of your vector it makes more sense to post just a transparent cutout so it can be used on any background.
>>1691606
Fan-freaking tastic!!
Thanks so much for doing this.
Is anyone able to do this as 1080 x 1920 for my phone please? I'd prefer some space on one side I dont mind which and the colour I don't care as long as it fits and is a flat colour. It would be greatly appreciated thanks :)
Requesting this delicious nonon at 1920x1080
>>1691850
tempted to, this picture does things to me
>>1691850
i tried
>>1691903
I'm not the original picture poster and I am just offering me view however I find the hair a bit difficult to see on the background (could be my eye sight or the fact I'm on a phone) its sorta mainly just above her right shoulder not sure if anyone else has that problem though. Otherwise I think its very good :)
>>1691905
yeah i can see that as an issue, heres the blank version
>>1691907
After looking at this I have one question; how is her neck like that?! It looks so weird XD that's not a criticism to you by the way as its on the actual picture as well :p also it looks pretty great, you've done a good job :)
>>1691907
If I had done this I would have added a line to define the legs as separate rather than one big glob of flesh under her skirt.
Also her shirt doesn't quite meet her neck on the left there, or her hat and her hair at the back.
>>1691903
guy who requested here, could the background color be changed to something that wouldn't make features like hair or clothing be hard to notice? Also could you add a line or something to the legs so she wont look like a slutty pole?
>>1691903
What I do when I have two colors next to each other that are the same is I make a shadow around the border like in this. this way I hope you can see she had on a cloak
>>1691919
You could also, y'know, use a different background colour. It's not that hard.
>>1691938
It is not necessarily just you. I'm kind of making this statement for every image that gets requested and completed. It's easier just to post a transparent and let them choose the color.
>>1691632
There's a weird white line along her hair.
>>1691632
AWWWW YEAH. Thanks a million
hey guys how i do minimalism in Inkscape?
>>1691971
Ask google/youtube
>>1691971
Just follow the Inkscape tutorial in the vector thread. Ignore all the parts about making filled lines and skip to the coloring part.
nonon update - fixed the hair / hat line and other little unfinished areas, theres a feint light now to separate the legs
>>1691986
That's much nicer, is the instrument (cant remember the name ._.) intentionaly not completely round on the top? Cuz it is in the original
>>1691988
shit didnt see that issue, on it
>>1691971
What >>1691974 said; minimalism vs real vectors is basically "no lines, all colours"
The hard part is picking and choosing which colours to use and which to meld into others. Take >>1691850 and >>1691986 for a recent example: He opted to remove the gold trim from the hat and keep it solid black plus the button, removed the bars from the shirt so it's solid green, and removed the accents
>>1691986
Speaking of your vector, it looks much better now; could you upload her at a higher res after you fix the trumpet?
>>1691990
what res you want?
Can I get this one.
>>1691647
>>1691990
a request from previous thread
>>1691953
I know, but there was nothing that I could do to make it go away. I have no idea what it is.
A light background seems to fix the problem. Here's a transparent.
>>1692001
yeah I know I just got caught up in the process and did most of it, what would you get rid of?
>>1692004
This is in Illustrator. I don't think I've encountered this in the ones I've done.
>>1691840
Ask if you want a background change. For 1080x1920, the problem is that her head is cut off on the top. She's going to be rather stretched and take up damn near the whole thing if I make it that big. Still want it done?

>>1692042
>filename
My sides. Apart from that, it looks like shit.
>>1692010
Any outlines at all, and shadows/highlights tend to go as well.
The puffy feathers on its chest could probably go safely too.
Your goal is to use as few colours as possible to get the point across.
>>1692043
It's present in Illustrator as well.
File's too large anyway.
>>1692052
That is a silly excuse. Your file should not be very large at all. Put it on Dropbox or Mediafire.
>>1692048
yeah thats what I originally thought making these wallpapers, but some people on the previous thread were putting down others for not putting shadows in.
But I'll remember no outlines for the next one, or small details like the feathers on the chest
>>1692055
It is a subjective form that is up to multiple interpretations. I think they all look dumb without at least having an eye outline.
The general principle is no lines and minimal colors. Do whatever else you think looks good.
>>1692054
Yeah I have no idea. Thing's 7.4 MB. None of my others even come close.

First time trying, got ambitious i guess, how did i do? I hope senpai notices me........
(I know the mic is crap and I'm a total noob at resolution i apologize)
>>1692116
Pretty good actually, a lot more detail than the first one.
Some of the colors are off, it's a little darker.
>>1692116
With that level of detail you really might as well do her face, she looks weird.
You also have a blue line across the bottom of your image, and there's a weird line across the strand of hair on her right (left side of image) level with her hand.
I would love to see it transparent at 300 DPI after it's fixed though.
Can I get the vector of this>>1687869
?
>>1692118
Ya im still tweaking little things im using for my own phone wallpaper, colours are off? i agree but like what?
>>1692121
i think that line was the border i didnt cut out i also stretched the mic this time so it would get cut
ALSO how do 300 DPI? what transparent? I did all of this for fun and have no idea what i would need to do PAST what ive done
>>1692128
Are you using Illustrator or Inkscape? I'm only familiar with the latter.
What you would do there to get a transparent 300 DPI image is hide the background-blue layer, Ctrl+Shift+E to Export the image, choose Page, then under "bitmap size" you have two boxes to enter the pixel size you want; just enter 300 in the box to the right marked "at X DPI" and it should give you an approximately 4000px tall png file with a transparent background.
Having never used Illustrator I can't swear to it, but I imagine the process would be similar there.
>>1692129
i am using inkscape, and once i thought about what transparent meant i got that... thank you all for ur help and suggestions i really appreciated it! am working on a few tweaks ill have a new one up (im sure there will be more bugs)
>>1690675
Do you have the transparent version?
Ok so here it is at 300 dpi as requested (I tried to shade the face but u can probably see i half assed it, i avoided it the first time cause i wasent confident at all..)
Any suggestions on fixing colours would be appreciated!
>>1692129
Oh while I'm in the presence of a more knowledgable person, how do you get object lines to snap to each other? It's tedious to go in zoom and readjust... And can that be done with layers? (I. E. Getting shade blocks right on top of the underlying object) if this can be done in inkscape that would save so much time
>>1692146
It's much easier to see small errors at that resolution, so I've circled a few color-leaks and kinked lines, and questioned a few lines that look funny. Again, the bottom of your image isn't quite to the bottom of your artboard; check >>1691083 for an explanation on that.
I'm not sure why your image didn't export transparent; you know that doesn't mean "white background" but means "no background", right? Like >>1692000 and >>1691994
As for "fixing colours" the only thing that really stands out to me as being a bit off is her skintone; try changing her base skin color from e2a289 to something like f0ddcc which is closer to the color she is in the show. If we wanna get really picky her hair colour also isn't 232323 but more 3c3c3c, but that's really splitting hairs.
>>1692158
Ah OK, well I did white because the actual background is really botched and looks disgusting, and I omitted the cane altogether. Is there really a big difference between the two in terms of someone else doing something with it? I'll get the transparent up later along with your suggested fixes but I dunno if I can get the bottom limit done properly, you have color codes, I'm familiar with it but haven't investigated it in inkscape if you know where that is. Your very helpful thank you!
>>1692160
If you hit Ctrl+Shift+F it'll bring up the Fill/Stroke options window, and when you select an object (series of connected nodes which make a shape) you can tweak the colours from that window; it's as simple as typing them in the appropriate box.
As far as white vs transparent, yeah that matters a lot; if it's white and someone else wants to put it on another background they have to go along and erase the entire background all along the outside edge of the image which makes it look like garbage, whereas if you just post it without a background at all people can just paste it onto whatever background they want easy peasy.
I'm not sure what you mean by "the actual background" being botched; it should be as simple as turning the layer off (Ctrl+Shift+L to get the layers window, click the eye next to a layer to temporarily hide it) and just export the image with all the background layers hidden and you'll have a proper transparent png
>>1692102
No shit. That is why I suggested Mediafire/Dropbox.
Anyway, it is a simple fix. File > Document Color Mode > RBG
Changing that fixes the weird glitch. You pretty much always want to be in RGB mode anyway, since these will become wallpapers, unless you plan to print any of these.
I noticed you were creating multiple shapes in order to deal with the hair cutouts. I remember having to do something similar back when I first started vectoring. There is much easier way though. Open the Pathfinder panel (Window > Pathfinder) and place it somewhere. You will want this at all times, specifically for Minus Front. Now you should be able to draw the hair as all one object, and then draw shapes over cutouts and use Minus Front to delete it.
Other than that, you had a lot of nodes with only one handle, as opposed to two on each side. This created a lot of weird hair that could be much sharper. In almost all cases, you want every node to have two handles. It will make your life easier.
Anyway, I did the whole image to image to illustrate what I meant. Here is the .Ai file so you can see how I did the nodes.

her in the left corner
and a blue background, but obviously off hue of all the other blue colors of her (especially her hair)
>>1691422
bumping for this one
>>1692146
A few of the bigger problems I see:
It doesn't look like you're using clipping masks, so your colors aren't lining up. For example, on her sleeve, the stripes aren't flush with the blue. Try looking clipping masks up on google or something.
Either you're not using fills, or you're doing something else weird, because the points on areas like her hair should all be sharp.
Your lines are just messy in general. Lots of sharp or lumpy edges. Use less nodes for starters, and try moving the handles to adjust to the lines instead. Make sure you don't leave sharp nodes on parts that should be smooth, like the left of her hat.
>>1692169
Thanks a ton.
Ok now i think i got it right
>>1692169
Damn, looking back on it, I missed some shit too.
>>1692348
You fixed a lot of things, but you also darkened her hair instead of lightening it, and left her skin tone too dark.
Also like >>1692272 said, you should be using fills instead of strokes or whatever weird thing is going on so her hair tapers to sharper points instead of ending in squares.
Here's a quick swatch of her hair I threw together with fills (note the sharp points) and the correct colour.
>>1691986
when will we get the final version?
>>1692366
I didn't darken it the white background makes it look that way I'm not sure how to do fills, what that is or how to do efficiently, I really should look it up but I did this in the fly...
>>1692481
Ctrl+Shift+F to open the fills/stroke window, click the X on the strokes tab and the "solid colour" on the fills tab, that will make your objects a solid mass of colour with no outline, and allow tapered points. You should pretty much never use strokes in vectors because they look like garbage.
If you didn't darken the hair then I don't know what's up, because it is absolutely darker by about half. Was it set to 50% opacity before and 100% now?

>>1692485
Ok ill keep that in mind for later, is there a way to snap objects together? Like say the hair snapping to the shoulder so I don't have to manually match the lines up

Had to grab colors from elsewhere, too much sun.

And a transparent if you want it.

Requestiing this, background color doesn't matter.

Not the requestee, but thanks.

That isn't a pen you fucking idiot.

if no one is doing this I picked it up

It's a 75x495R round to be loaded and fired into a 7.5 cm KwK 40 gun.
>>1692694
I kind of wanted to pick it up but go ahead, I don't have enough time right now anyway.
>>1692587
I'll pick this one up if no one isn't already working on it
>>1692583
I finished her hair at the top. If you want a larger size or dont like the extra hair let me know. I also changed her skin color because it was absolute white
I tried out a different method how does it look?
Requesting, if yall dont mind.
>>1692812
Oh wow, thanks pal. It looks really good, but if you can make the sleeve white and maybe tone down the shadowing on the face, it'd be perfect.
>>1692823
Belay that last bit. Sorry about that. The shadowing looks nice. And thanks again for the effort.
Request.
>>1692824
>>1692823
Well I didn't like the face shadow myself and was already changing it and happened to find a new feature. Honestly I like the new shadow but can upload it with a darker shadow if you want.
I honestly thought the sleeve was the jacket lol my bad.
>>1692828
The apex of the missing hair feels like it's too far to the left of the image, and it looks lumpy where you redrew it.
The shadow on the face also feels weird because you only kept it on one side and not the other, I feel like it would look better with either neither or both.
>>1692831
Adding in the shadow on the right side now. Can you go in paint or something and show me where it looks lumpy and maybe indicate where the apex should be because I dont see what your mentioning
>>1692838
Requester here. I think this is what that anon means by the lumpy hair. It's hard to see with a bg of any kind, but in the transparent shot, you can kind of see some jagged pixelation.
>>1692838
I've circled where it looks like you've placed a node and not smoothed it out very well. By smoothing it out you'll adjust the apex.
>>1692812
>>1692831
>>1692838
You really just need to follow the line for the hair and pinpoint where the nodes need to be placed to align both sides of the hair.
Other than that, you need to smooth out the hair a good deal, and add more curvature to them. Too many nodes and not enough handles. Make sure every node has two handles and you will avoid most of the problems. Same applies to the shirt and hands.
Anyway, I wanted my own interpretation with the white skin and shadows, so here is mine.
>>1692815
first time doing this, a lot of the lines are meh but too much trouble to fix them, maybe the next time I 'll make the lines more carefully
>>1692857
I use Corel Draw, I think my handles work differently. I used a different method this time where I used a lot less nodes and more curvature than usual
>>1692852
I removed all but like 5 nodes from her alfafa so its pretty smooth but I personally liked it more before
>>1692864
I've never used Corel Draw, but considering Illustrator and Inkscape are fairly similar in how nodes and handles work, I can't expect it to be that much different. You nodes and handles should look something like this.
>>1692866
I can only see the active handles and they have arrow heads but they appear to be same.
I can't find any good corel draw tutorials though and the program isnt close enough to illustrator to copy their tutorials. The one in the OP with the mareep gave me the basic idea.
>>1692872
Well, I can't really help you, other than what I already said. It would be easier to find Illustrator and Inkscape tutorials though. Illustrator is not hard to pirate, and Inkscape is free, so I recommend using either of those.
>>1692587
Here you go. Tell me if you need me to change anything.
>>1692880
Aye, thank you very much sir. If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you do a vector of it?
>>1692886
If I had to hazard a guess. he probably doesn't know how to.
>>1692879
Or you can just use inkscape, which is free and just as good as illustrator.
>>1692905
wouldnt happen to have a tutorial for inkscape would you?
>>1692918
Go to the vector thread. They have tutorials for both Inkscape and Illustrator. Just skip the stuff about making lines and go straight to how to color.
>>1692905
It is just as good for what you people use in minimalism images. Past that, Illustrator has much more to offer.
