Hi there great work sofar ^_^* I would take a look at the left arm though. Seems
to be a little out of proportion. The rest is really good, especially the face
tip: when you outline something, you outline *everything* except for
shading.
ie. outline her hair thanks.
On that note you need some more shades on her face, hair and stuff. It's kinda
flat and 2D.
Also, you don't have to vector exactly the same as the original... if anyone got
that impression then that's silly. Give the girl some eyelashes and colour on
her lips. She'll be happy
Otherwise the lines are pretty clean and it looks quite good
Unfortunately I'll have to agree with misa on the outlines. Either you outline
everything or nothing, I don't think you can have a happy in between. Your
vector does seem a little flat, the only answer to that is more shading. Also an
especially picky point and I may be getting too picky is that I can see where
your path lines meet up, but a little tweeking with the convert point tool will
fix that up. Great effort though vectoring isn't an easy option, courage
You might want to outline here hair. the braids blend and take away from the
vector. Some of the lines on the hair could be smoothed out as well. However,
since its still a work it progress keep up the good work.
I think the hair needs more outlining (they look weird like that) and I think
you should host the full size image somewhere so that we can see the real thing
and then truly give comments on it, small size image doesnt really do justice
you see...Her right hand needs more outline on the fingers too I think...
Hope that helps
I don't think the quality of this vector is your fault, it is just because you
are using Photoshop instead of Illustrator to make it. You can see it by just
looking at it.
I suggest you download a trial version of Illustrator, and work with that
alittle bit to see if it works better.
Here is my almost complete vector of Arumi from Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi
any tips and stuff would be helpful
Edit:
here is the original screen for future reference

Update right here:
Hopefully its good, and if anyone is willing can you say add shade and stuff, ill give you the .ai file
well not bad at all, but i think it miss some shadows and the hands looks a little weird but it is really good, keep it like this

Hair needs outlining too and don't do outlines as a strokes - make outlines a shape with varying width, the vector will be less boring then.
