Ok, I said before that I wanted to try something new for my wallpapers...well I
have been trying for the past few days to vector a screenshot for a wall. By
combining different tutorials on the web, I've come up with something pretty
decent....but none of the tuts I tried I actually liked....Besides, all those I
did read don't cover black outlines and adding details....
So I'm asking you guys, do you know where I could pick up a well rounded vector
tutorial...preferably for anime pictures....
Tama-neko's tutorials are still online. Go to >> Vectorage. But I think a good
grasp of the pen tool is the only thing you really need: there's no easy way out
of vectoring the black lines

I am good with the pen tool...but once I did the outline, I don't know what to
use to stroke the path I made...with either the paintbrush or the pencil
tool....it looks crappy
The best method of drawing outlines is to draw outlines as a shape, and not to
rely on strokes to make them. Strokes are too uniform, and make the image feel
too artificial. It's easy to tell a vector is done with strokes; it's much more
difficult to distinguish a vector from the original art if the outlines are
drawn as shapes, because you have total control over varying the thickness of
the lines. This variance makes an image flow better and feel more natural.

Ok, but isn't that hard to do...I mean I'm not to bad with the pen tool....but I
don't think I could be able to do that....

It's no more difficult than drawing any other color shape or outline, because
the principle is the same. It may take more time, but it's well worth the effort
in the end.
