Painting with vectors

Hey! now, in english!

Here I want to share my photoshop painting techniques.

First one I'll share is called "Vectors",where we are going to use the Pen tool.

First, we have the drawing we want to paint.

Here I have a drawing that I did on my sketchbook, is very simple.

Now we are going to choose the tool I mentioned, and to find it quickly, its shortcut is "P".

Pen Tool

 Now with the color that we need, we start "tracing" de drawing, and we lower the opacity of the layer, so we can see what we are "tracing".

Be sure that the tool has the "square" option.

When we are all set, we put all the layers on 100% opacity.

Here's my drawing with all layers at 100%.

but it's not over yet, we have to add lights and shadows.

For that I know two ways.

First, I would say is maybe the simplier, is to use the tool "I" and change it for a brighter or darker color, depending on what we are planning to do.

The other way is choosing a "shadow" color like blue, brown, black or gray, and click the option "Multiply".

If you realize I picked a color that's light gray, but with the multiply effect it looks cool ;D

Last, if you want this technique for lights, instead of multiply you can choose "Screen" or "Soft Light" , there let your creative juices flow ;D

Here's what my finished work looks like (but with better quality XD!)

Any questions just ask, and I would love to see your works!

Greetings!
