# It's all vectors in photoshop.
Coloured using feathered selection tool, "brightness/contrast" and "selective colour".

# grrr it's not vectors ;)
it's selection with a pen tool and is more akin to cell shading technique.

# Sorry. I am not really sure what to call it then.
What you said I guess. I've done a few now. It's just a way of killing time at work when it's quiet.

# Don't apologise.
It's fantastic and besides, cell shading is an art. Vector tracing is erm, tracing.

# no we can't.
It's eactly the technique used to colour comic books. You make a selection, or 'frisket' in the trade, then you work on hat with colour and contrast. To have vectored it you would have to have created the whole image with shape layers. 90% of the supposed vector images here are actually crude forms of cell shading and have never been near a vector shape.

# no
it's not.

was this the full half hour?

# Ah... but I did use shape layers (The little pen tool) to actually create the basic shapes.
And then I coloured each bit in using cell shading. So it is kindof a vector yes?

# no
vector refers to a way in which the software draws an image.
