PiXeLpUsHeR said:FYI Guys, this is akin to using Illustrator as Vector Art and is made using the pen tool (not pen and tablet) and then using gradient fills for the vector shapes and using outlines for the highlights.
Whilst there is no doubt that this is awesome work and fantastic for a newbie in photoshop, my guess is that the original was used as a layer underneath to trace vector shapes from and is not terribly difficult for a pro. That said....
Really nice work congrats... a very good effort
but I would suggest that you would have better success with this type of work in Illustrator or Freehand
He is 100% correct, Thats exactly how i make these vectors
