Here are some tips I want to show you about vectoring :
1. The ugly beginnings.

This is one of the first vectors I've made back in 8th grade :v.
The lines are rigid and crooked, NO SHADINGS, the fonts sucked, and i don't think it's even in the Wattpad cover's size... ew.
What I want to say is, you can't make a super detailed vector when you just started, like, yesterday. Even I still am learning to make my vectors more realistic right now.
2. Add your own style
Spice up your vector! Use your creativity and whatever techniques that make you comfortable. Such as, vectoring with an outline first, shading with an airbrush, or addding additional sparkles to their eyes, whatever you like!
Right now, I really like adding small white highlights on their hair which is inspired by anime since they have that white shine on their hair.

*it's really small so I hope you noticed those white dots on his hair.
3. Give yourself some rest!
I only vector when I feel like it, roughly on a monthly basis.
And trust me, if you took a break for three months then decided to vector again, you'll notice small - or even big - improvements!
