Martin Luther King, Jr. Digital Painting

[Yeager]

You remove all doubt.   

you are ON it

It's a photo manipulation.  A digital painting would require you to have the original as one file, and then you would digitally paint, or draw the new picture on a blank 'canvas' using a tablet, or mouse.

I understand fully how to use the path tool to create "vector art".

You had to posterize to get it started (or at some point early on).  After that i'm sure you spent many hours mapping the edges and tweaking it, but to say you DIDN'T posterize is flat out incorrect.  More accurate would be you didn't "just" posterize it.

Lute it is nice to know someone who knows his way around PS/GIMP and such is in sync with things.  When JB comes in here making a bold statement on a subject he knows very little about if was frustrating.  I even provided links for him to read on the subject.  But yes this is not just posterized, but it is a step in the overall creation of one of these.  To whom it concerns, thinking that adding posterization will get you the end result is dumb.

Vector art allows you to scale the image to any size without loosing quality to pixelation.  You could blow that thing up to 100 stories if you wanted to.

Which is one huge diff. between what I did and what he did.  I could sit there for 20min and tweak mine by hand and make it LOOK like the what weazely posted, but when you zoom in mine will get all blurry and pixalized whereas w/ vector art it will be clear as a bell.  (not so much in THIS case because it wasn't created by scratch and is limited by the original picture, but you get the idea)
