In this tutorial I am going to explain my method of vectorizing a photo. The same method could be used for drawing an original image too. I’m going to be using *gasp* Photoshop to do it too. I know you must think I’m crazy but I like the vector tools Photoshop comes with. Yes there are some things that Photoshop simply can’t do that a typical vector program can but for my purposes it works just fine, plus I like the feel of it better. Illustrator annoys me quite a bit so I try to stay away from it if possible.

To do vector in Photoshop you simply use the shape layers. I use the pen tool exclusively in this tutorial. The process is basically just tracing the image with the pen tool. For shading I made a diagram to help explain my process.

The base color is laid down first. I then hide that layer and make the 1st shadow and highlight. Shadows are black shape layers, highlights are white. Both have the opacity set low, around 15. The 2nd shadow and highlight are the same thing but since they are new layers they add to it to increase value.
