Out of interestby 'vector' do people these days really mean 'smoothed and posterised' or is that just how it ends up looking?

im sure there is a proper method and lots of work involvedbut it just looks like a colour reduction to me most of the time.

so far as i can tellthe proper method takes hours. you basically isolate a part of a picture you want to colour in one shade, and trace it properly with a vector path. then you apply a shading to the area inside, make a new layer, trace the next bit of colour, apply a shading, and rinse and repeat for fucking HOURS. the result is a very smooth image that, if you've done it right, can be blown up to arbitrary scales since it's a vector.
most of what i see on here looks like posterising, though it's normally a bit smoother than just posterising so i guess it's had some touch-up work.
just curious, really.
