This thing is HUGE!! Took me 3 days to put together - it consists of about everything I know about vectoring and the pen tool. Gosh I feel like I wrote a term paper. @__@
Please ask questions if you're confused! There is a ton of info! Please DO NOT redistribute to any other sites. Outline of info covered: -What is a Vector Difference between vectors and rasters -What is a Vexel -Intro to the vectoring tools in Photoshop -Pen tool modes Shape layers and Paths -How to draw with the Pen tool Edit: alt can also be pressed while you are dragging with the pen tool to change the angle of the unconnected handle bar all in one motion. (for when you are at step 3, so some may find step 5 an extra step, but for simple explaining purposes I'm keeping what I have) -Editing the pen tool shape -Editing relationships among multiple shapes in a single layer -Layer Styles Gradient overlays -Vectoring lineart -Vectoring shades (cell shading) Edit: Some people use clipping masks, but I don't so I didn't mention them here. You can use whatever method makes shading easier for you. -Troubleshooting tips When curves aren't smooth When curves are too sharp and jagged -Applications of the Paths mode Typing on paths Stroking paths with brushes Marquee selection from a path -Vector Masking Extracting Stock Painting in vector masks Edit2: Wow!

I'm still confused about the whole Vector Masking thing since I never used it in my own vectors. >_<

Just draw in paths mode, and right click when you're done to select "create vector mask". I makes painting with clean edges and extracting stocks so convenient!
Thank you! Its awesome ~

Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Heb. 11:1
It's my goal to try and make it easier for others, since I pretty much had to learn on my own by trial and error. XP
