wat programs do u need to vector...n how??

 

[SiccMadeLoc]

You use Adobe Illustrator, n there are tutorials, but it takes time to learn, its similer to Photoshop, but its a lot harder, atleast in my point of view...

Yea, you can but not as well, photoshop is gonna get you ready for it, but youd be better off starting in Illustrator

Try workin on Photoshop first, dont get carried away, you think its easy by the way you talk, once youve done a lot in Photoshop wit the pens n paths, then you can start with illustrator..im a beginner yself but learning day by day.

 

[TheGraphixLab]

All the shadowing & highlighting is backwards. Your paths aren't too bad but ya' need to watch the color changes. I.g. The cheekbone accent around his eye should be lighter than the tone around it . . . the whites in the eyes should be lighter than the skin tone enclosing them, the lighter swoosh's in his hands should be darker as those areas represent the shadows in his hand . . . same with jacket highlights / shadows

You got the right idea, just watch your colors!

 

[Jaguar]

lol... i really had no idea what colors to use and how to use it....

No, you got the right idea, you were just applying darker colors to what was lighter / highlighted areas and visa versa. take a second look. Keep at it!
