=D cool! i think vector is great and fun to play with.. many people prefer to use Illustrator or CorelDraw to do their vectors.. but i like using flash better.. it’s more fast, flexible and easy to me.. hehe.. you can find a rough tutorial here .. =)

thankz, vincent! =D

hehe.. n_n” thank you, gypsycaster! blush..
you can try search for drawing/illustrating in flash tutorial.. its pretty easy to learn.. =D

hehe.. don’t worry or stress yourself too much, gypsycaster! i always believe that tools and softwares are secondary.. most importantly is to know the basics (hand drawings first plus save money) then move on to digital~ =D

i’ve read how some people actually does their gradients using wireframe technique.. am not sure how the wireframes are generated, but it makes coloring even more realistic i guess.. maybe you can try check it out? =D

yea man.. i didn’t know you can do wireframes with illustrator.. Oo”
also cos am more comfortable with flash.. lolz.. which program do you use for vector?
am not going to stop tracing completely.. just trace less.. hehehee~ XD
