>>1983405>>1983410Understood, I'll try to use that circle method more. I think a perfect ellipse tends to look unnatural but I hadn't considered modifying it like that afterward. I think I understand what you mean with the lines, I used a similar method but your way seems better and less messy.
>>1983415I see what you mean with the eye not being a focal point. It popped a lot before I made all the hair so I never really revisited it. I'm not sure how I could add gradients to her clothing in a way that would look decent but I agree that would be a good idea if it can be done.
I have done like 10 different vector projects, and each one I do I learn a lot more through the process. I tend to like taking challenging or chaotic projects because it's more fun and I learn more from it, otherwise I get bored. Though I usually don't do things with lines, oftentimes I prefer the more minimalist style, so that is my biggest weak point. I don't necessarily feel confident enough to unilaterally make deviations from the source on something so complicated either, which I why I basically kept it the same as the original. That being said pic related was my first vector and it was abysmally shit so I clearly have made some progress. The next thing I make will probably be even more of chaotic mess than the last one in terms of source image, but challenging yourself is how you learn. I'll try to keep your tips in mind though.
