Vectorize It!

Thank you, vectorizing tutorial! This is my first foray into the art. Needless to say it didn't come out too well, but Jorgh let me post it anyway. :)



So the main advantage to using paths in Photoshop is the possibility of scaling the image without loss of quality. I attempted to show Jorghnassen this by hastily pasting the image on a random background... but when I rotated the image, it looks rather eerie.



The main disadvantage is that it takes a really, really long time to do one in the first place, especially if you're just starting. I gave up doing the rest of the background in the first photo and cheated. Can you tell?
