About the author I`m a freelancer from Romania specialized in: Logo design, Stationary/Business cards design, Icon design, Vectors and the founder of logolitic.com

Adobe Illustrator can do only vectors. So, why do not create vector portraits / ladscapes from real photos ? In adobe illustrator you can create all kind of objects with a lot of wonderful effects, one more real than the other! The secret of vector portrait it`s very simple and I think that any designer knows:

-you take a picture with a portrait, put it on computer, drag in illustrator and start using pen-tool to draw every detail and then add colors. Then you make the touches like: light effects, shadows etc, to look more realistic and high quality!

I took some very nice vector portraits made by known or less known designers. I think it`s a great idea to start making some portraits because you improve your skills in adobe illustrator and you will see more easly and faster the details from any picture and graphic. More important, you will learn how to draw shadows and light effects to look realistic and eyescatching.

    Some of these are AMAZING (the jamie presley one specifically) but other ones are just – eh..

    ADobe has a live trace option and it can make really details vector graphics from illustrator with no talent needed.. You can tell some of these are made using that.. others were def. amazing
