OMG, the Stroke Path! XD Just kidding, Ashy-chan. =3 For Stroke, it looks very good. Although it would've a lot better if you had tried to use fill path. Shape layers is hard...Try using the pen tool without the shape layers and it'll be easier for next time. =3

"Relax ~ The Freedom of Summer": Entry for 
's "Freedom" walling contest.
Yay, my first ever CLAMP vector, and a hard one at that. Everyone makes so many awesome vectors with CLAMP scans, I decided I had to try it too! And when I saw this scan and saw it hadn't been vectored yet, I knew this was the one!
This vector was actually a lot of firsts for me.
-My first time using a CLAMP scan: CLAMP are such awesome artists and their scans are so interesting and fun to
vector!
-My first time using the stroke-path method: Yes, I used stroke path. When I was deciding how to vector the scan I
figured that it would be much easier and turn out a lot better if I used stroke path. Plus vectoring all those little
flowers with shape layers would have driven me crazy and taken a lot more time. So if my outlines aren't as good as
usual, forgive me, this was new to me. However it was a learning experience too. But don't worry, shape layer fans such
as myself will be happy to know that I still plan on using shape layers for my vectors. (And for you stroke path fans,
I'm sure I'll do another vector like this some day!)
-My first time using blurs and such: I found the best way to make my vector match the scan was to blur some parts of it
to give it that softly-shaded look. I don't usually do this.
As you can see I added some patterns and textures to it, because I am completely obsessed with such things. I tried to not add too many though for those who don't like it. The clouds in the background I made myself with some self-made brushes. I thought it would look better than if I attempted to vector the clouds in the scan.
Anyways I chose to enter this in the Freedom contest, because summer is upon us, and that means freedom from certain things *cough-school-cough*, which means more time to relax and do fun things, as depicted in this vector ^_^.
Time:
Outline- 16 hrs
Colouring-11 hrs
Total- 27 hrs
Layers:107
(I told myself not to write a long description, too late for that :P) I plan on submitting a slightly different version of this at AP as a wallpaper. It will be wallpaper size (both normal and widescreen) and have a little more texture.
Anyways I hope you like this vector! Unlike my other vectors this one is for viewing purposes only! Comments and faves are greatly appreciated! *Hugs*
P.S. Is the girl with the red and white dress Tomoyo? Because it looks like Tomoyo, but I think there's another girl in Tsubasa that looks like that...(I'm not that far in the Tsubasa storyline yet).

Wow! Ultra detailed CLAMP vectoring! Nice & bright and so spot-on that I thought I was going to be deleting a minimal-effort wallpaper ;)
The colours are nice and clear, but the shading is a bit shiney. The flowers look like they're made of plastic because they shine a little too much. Great work, and a perfect reproduction! Keep it up!

It's really nice and beautiful XD
But Tomoyo's face shadow look abit weird for me ^_^'
Overall, it is really nice and clean vector. I <3 it !And, thanks for the participation on our group's contest =D I am really appreciate tht.

Darn! i wonder why I still don't know Stroke Path. I have it on my photoshop, but I don't know how to use it. DX I don't even know Fill Path too and how to use it! **so inexperience**
Well this is very nice! I can't believe you outlined all of that. So detailed i must agree with saikusa about that.
The only problem is I think you should make the shadows more depth instead of smudging. See I mean like try to give it a CG shape like those anime series are instead of painting (because painting is more difficult). @_@
There's one green outline on the palm trees where it overlaps with the others too much. Try erasing that a little. :D You'll noticed it at the top left of the corner.
Hope this helps. :x
