>>1355727 Eyelashes are part of the touchup stuff at the end. I had not forgotten them.>>1355724 Looking great, just wondering how long it took you guys to do these. I've gone through a few vectors before using the OP guide but it takes me forever to make the lines. Is there any way to speed up the process?Thanks, What you see for the image took me four hours to do. This was because I didn't use consecutive, connecting lines - I did each piece of her hair (the left and right pieces of each lock) as its own separate line, to give it a more flowing feel. I find, for me, the following things work well
* Make the individual lines first. I put them in as point, point to next destination, then point connecting back to the original.
* Make all the strokes I am going to use for images next, and give them a set thickness to distinguish them from fills.
* Put in the basic lines for the fills.
Go back and shape everything.
I find this easiest to do, because I keep getting interrupted, and this gives me a clear idea of where I lefto off. I also try to do things from a "top-down" fashion, because then I can know exactly where I left off, in terms of shaping and smoothing my lines. The reason why it takes me so little time (the Nanoha/fate image I am doing as well took me 10 hours for all the lines) is because I plan ahead what line is going to be shaped how. I plan ahead with everything I work on.
