How to create Vector images?

Can anyone post up a guide on how to create/make a Vector image?

What kind of graphic-proggies do you have?
You need a vectorbased proggie such as illustrator, coreldraw or inkscape to create a vector-based graphic. Do you got any of these ?

I will create a quick guide for inkscape, because it is open-source, and i think it is very powerful.

Well, this is posted in the Photoshop forum, so I'm guessing he means in Photoshop. I could be wrong, of course (it has been known... )

uuups, you're damn right tamlin.
just too early in the morning for me... maybe you take a look at Vexels.net - Vexel and Vector Art Community, this is where i learned the most about vector-like illus in photoshop.

how many times has he done that??


as for Ash:

Photoshop is primarily a raster-based program, however it does have tools like the pen tool, shape tool, and (I think) the text tool. The way that you can tell if something is raster based as opposed to vector-based is by trying to enlarge it. If it gets all "pixelated" chances are that it is raster based as opposed to vector based (since vectors work along a certain path that can be multipled and it gets much more complex than I know when you start talking about that). However all you need to know is what tools in photoshop create vector based art. Shapes, and Pen primarily, and that link that the other use gave you would probaly be a good resource for tutorials.

I warned him twice, then deleted all his other posts. I'm a hard-ass sometimes...

ah ok, I saw it twice and wondered why it was allowed to happen more than once... :P guess I'm even more of a hard-ass, but I'm not a Mod . I'm not even a Mod on the other forums where I'm a veteran, its a bit of a sore spot sometimes... oh well

Try Xara Xtreme. It's cheap and very good for starters.
Less powerfull but much easyer than Illustrator.
