Hi, I'm learning how to create vector images. I'm in the middle of working on My first one. And I've read many different tutorials on how to do them. However I'm still fairly new to Photoshop CS3 and it's tools. So some of the 'obvious' instructions that are left out in tutorials I can't follow. I picked beautiful image. The best tutorial I found so far has been the one featured on

I'm now working on defining the facial features and I'm stooped afraid to close the project scared it may not save all the hard work I've done lol. And god I don't want to start over. I'm wondering if there's anyone here that may be able to walk me through mastering drawing in and shading, gradients ,and also with adding highlights. That sort of thing. Here's where I am on the vector image as you can see it's really not the best example as it's my first attempt and I'm new to using the pen tool all together.
