First polygon vector: Patty Tiu of Deuce (Manila)

One day, my boss saw a polygon vector of a Parrot from the internet and asked me how to do that (he’s asking for automated techniques I guess). I don’t know the answer exactly but I initially told him that it’s probably manual. And since I don’t want to stick to my unsure answer I reasearched, and found out that it is indeed manually traced. Paths and nodes. Triangles and gradients. I also watched videos from Youtube, and since then I’ve been wanting to do it.

The process is tedious, shoulders burning in pain. But I found paths and nodes very relaxing. I spent approximately 4 days (weekends) on this piece. I had probably covered some parts with flesh where it’s supposed to have script tattoos. Haha
