I went through phases of icon-making, wallpaper-making, and now I&#39;m working on learning vector drawing (aka. creating art using geometric shapes).</p><p>My first vector art, featuring the little girl on the cover of alice nine.&#39;s TSUBASA single:</p> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00c22521f4da8e1d00e398cd7e530003" at:format="large" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-large photo-enclosure" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 10px auto;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item photo-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://auralcandy.vox.com/library/photo/6a00c22521f4da8e1d00e398cd7e530003.html"><img src="http://a3.vox.com/6a00c22521f4da8e1d00e398cd7e530003-320pi" alt="Vector Art: alice nine. / TSUBASA" title="Vector Art: alice nine. / TSUBASA" /></a> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name"><a href="http://auralcandy.vox.com/library/photo/6a00c22521f4da8e1d00e398cd7e530003.html" title="Vector Art: alice nine. / TSUBASA">Vector Art: alice nine. / TSUBASA</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00c22521f4da8e1d00e398cd7e630003" at:format="small" at:align="right" class="enclosure enclosure-right enclosure-small photo-enclosure" style="text-align: center; float: right;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 0 0 20px 20px;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item photo-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://auralcandy.vox.com/library/photo/6a00c22521f4da8e1d00e398cd7e630003.html"><img src="http://a3.vox.com/6a00c22521f4da8e1d00e398cd7e630003-120pi" alt="alice nine. / TSUBASA - Process" title="alice nine. / TSUBASA - Process" /></a> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name"><a href="http://auralcandy.vox.com/library/photo/6a00c22521f4da8e1d00e398cd7e630003.html" title="alice nine. / TSUBASA - Process">alice nine. / TSUBASA - Process</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> <p> What I did here was using vector (geometric modeling) to create layers of different shapes and stacking them on top of one another to produce this rendering (done in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_Shop_Pro">Paint Shop Pro</a>). Since this was my first time attempting anything of this sort, it took me more than 12 hours despite using very basic techniques. I swear I&#39;m going to master Bézier curves someday and get better at vector drawing.</p><p>Yes, so this concludes the last post of the year.
