@pony You can vector? /jelous

@minti the pen tool is a snap!
Friday, 27-Jan-12 01:05:54 UTC from web-
@getacutiemark Pfffft yeah right T_T

@minti I got the hang of it in a couple of minutes. just add vertices to a box and move the vertices closer to the form. then curve them

@getacutiemark @pony XD Luckies. I do NOT have the patience to do that. Tried, gave up with how long it takes. xD
Friday, 27-Jan-12 01:07:48 UTC from web-
@minti so was i, then i tried a different approach. just use the box method. like scuplting or carving
Friday, 27-Jan-12 01:08:30 UTC from web-
@getacutiemark Box method? Never heard of it. xD
Friday, 27-Jan-12 01:09:00 UTC from web-
@minti what i just told you. just make a box around the size of an object, then add vertices and move them around. then, curve them. i notice that the lesser anchor points i have, the smoother the shape

@getacutiemark Oh. Heh, I'll try it. xD

@minti I used a simple tutorial and the rest was just patience like you said. I'm getting a lot faster, but my very first project took me about 8 hours.

@pony I gave up after 30 minutes. ^_^

@pony XD My friend vectors stuff using Photoshop, he tried to teach me, didn't go so well. Takes him a good like 6 hours or so to vector stuff. xD

@minti my first experience with vectoring years ago was with Paint Shop Pro (not the best choice for vector art by the way). I made a Powerpuff Girls fan art that took me about 12 hours.. Then I took a class and learned that there are better programs (used Adobe Illustrator). Now I'm using Inkscape.

@pony Illustrator is actually a great program to use - it's what I learned digital typography on, actually.
Friday, 27-Jan-12 01:16:48 UTC from web-
@chiefanchor Thats why i want to be proficient. VECTOR PONIES!
Friday, 27-Jan-12 01:17:22 UTC from web -
@chiefanchor cool! .. *looks up digital typography*
Friday, 27-Jan-12 01:17:48 UTC from web -
@chiefanchor oh yeah.. I mean I agree that Illustrator is great.. I meant it as a good example of vector art programs.

@pony @chiefanchor http://i.neoseeker.com/mgv/60953-Shadow%20of%20Death/953/27/rainbow_dash_typography_poster_by_skeptic_mouseyd3huq60_display.png (is this typography?)
Friday, 27-Jan-12 01:19:16 UTC from web-
@getacutiemark Typography's mainly for developing things for print - I just learned how to do it in programs like Illustrator and InDesign, because they can be scaled without pixelization.
Friday, 27-Jan-12 01:20:45 UTC from web-
@chiefanchor fair enough. sounds cool, though

@getacutiemark Do you use photoshop, illustrator, or none of the above?
Friday, 27-Jan-12 01:08:05 UTC from web-
@sebastian1314 both
Friday, 27-Jan-12 01:09:05 UTC from web-
@getacutiemark I know photoshop pretty well (and the pen tool there), but I know nothing of Illustrator. Any good tuts you recommend?
Friday, 27-Jan-12 01:12:58 UTC from web-
@sebastian1314 vectortuts has some good ones... i am not really proficient in ilustrator, but these have helped!
Friday, 27-Jan-12 01:14:12 UTC from web-
@getacutiemark Oh ok, thanks! =D
Friday, 27-Jan-12 01:14:55 UTC from web-
