Yet another 'first vector' thread

[Jambooo]

Inspired by attempts from other members, I decided to give illustrator a spin and traced my first vector.

Unfortunately I can't as yet make changes as I don't know how to manipulate existing points (without deleting them). If someone could give us a hand with that, it'd be appreciated.

Please give any feedback

Here it is:

Nice work for a first try. Must admit the lips made me laugh though :p

Yea they are a bit pinkish (and mishapen..) :D

Yeh, the lips could do with being a more pastel colour, but otherwise, good first try :) (Y)

Ya know that little black arrow that you use to select things? Underneath it (hold down the button) there is a similar arrow, only white. This is used for the direct selection of either points, or lines. Just choose that little white arrow, and click on individual points to select and move them.

The only thing you have to remember is that if you already have to whole shape selected, then clicking an individual point won't do anything and you'll end up moving the whole thing anyways. In that case, just shift+click on a point, then normal click on it again to have it selected.

Ahh right.. thanks for the help. I'm sure I tried sumething like that though it didn't seem to work.

Oh, pardon me... The white arrow isn't under the black one, it's just to the right of it.
