Is it possible to make some "ok" looking vectors in Photoshop, I mean, I know true vectorization doesn't exist in Photoshop, but is it possible to make things easy like in the Illustrator?
Someone on /wg/ asked for a vector of Peach. As no one was willing to do it, I decided to give a try, even though I never tried doing vectors before.
It was fun and all, but something that pissed me off was working with tons of layers.
For example: In some areas Layer1 was under Layer2 and in other areas Layer1 was over Layer2
At some point the layering started to get a little too complex to properly overlap them and I didn't want to create new layers for those specific spots because I was already working with 35 layers. I then decided to be a lazy fuck and instead of overlapping the layers properly, I simply "excluded" the areas where the layers were overlapping each other.
As I was working on a transparent background, I didn't notice anything at the time, but after looking at the project over a black background, I saw tons of color gaps in those spots where I subtracted the layers from each other.
After looking at the tutorial in the OP I notice that in the Illustrator he only used 3 layers in total and just 1 layer for all the "shapes". I also noticed that instead of creating a fuck ton of layers he simply "sent shapes to the back of other shapes".
So, the big question is, is there any way to work with only one layer in Photoshop by sending the filled paths I drew with the Pen Tool to the back?
I'm probably being too dense here, but I don't own the Illustrator do these things, and I wanted to do some vectors with some of my anime screenshots.
