howdy,

i did this vector in about half an hour when i was just mucking around with drawing... i'm actually making a flash animation for a big school project, so i was seeing if it was a viable option, because i'm not really good at drawing, especially with a mouse

anyway, i kinda liked how it turned out, even though it's a bit unrealistic (especially the face, looks a bit weird i know) and i think the scale's a bit wrong too, but it wasn't a serious thing so i didn't bother fix it
EDIT: on looking at it again, i think that the nose is too big, and the shadow areas around the eye are either technically wrong (i.e in placement) or too dark, or both - i haven't really studied shading much, i really need to do more i think! -
Comments/critiques are welcome, so please say what you really think!

and yes, i was aiming for the stylised look with the shading, it's not just messy fillwork :)
in the future i want to do other styles of vector too =)

it's done with a mouse... i wish i had a tablet :P

but i've also heard that a pen isn't always much better for vector work, especially if you're using the bezier tool. Do people agree with this?

Yes. :)

If I want to draw freehand, then my Wacom beats the mouse hands down. But if I'm trying to use the Pen tools then I need the mouse back. :)

I might try taking my tablet home with me over the weekend for 'testing' though... :P
