Vector art on Adobe Photoshop

I'm gradually teaching myself Photoshop. I bought Adobe Photoshop 7.0 on eBay some years ago; since then I have got to grips with layers, lettering, and making brushes, and though I still get frustrated, can generally work out what to do. I really enjoy it. My love/hate relationship is now more love than hate.

This week I tackled the Pen Tool, a tricky little blighter. It's what you use to do those vector art chick lit covers of women in high heels holding carrier bags, as well as decorative swirls and outlining things. I've posted my first effort (click to see it larger). 

Although always thought good at art at school, I've never been much of a painter, so I'm quite pleased. She does look a bit Disney, but at least she's pretty. I'm particularly proud of her eyes. She was going to be holding a fan or something, but I have to go home and sand Polyfilla. The new bathroom continues...

Must try modern clothes next. 

And a vector art man - much more challenging.
