#vector 101

For the keyboard part, I just grabbed a photo on google and place it on top of the keyboard shape. As requested by an anon, here is a step by step guide on how I do my vector art. I just chose an easy one and you can do this in less than 30 mins :-) It’s very easy and simple to do guys I swear.

Softwares needed: Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop

First, choose your reference photo and open it in Adobe Illustrator

Lock the layer and create a new one. By using the pen tool, trace each item one by one and use your reference photo as your base guide. 

I try to hide the original photo from time to time and sometimes don’t fill in the colors immediately or hide them first so I can see thoroughly what I’m tracing. 

Open a new file in Adobe Photoshop. My usual size is 8in x 8in, 300 px. And transfer your traced vector there.
