Vector Simplicity #2

This is part 2 of your favorite vector silhouettes...

• Step 1 Open up an image of a random person holding something;
  I have chosen Mace Windu from the awsome movie STARWARS Revenge of the Sith;

  

• Step 2 Then outline your character like you did in the previous tutorial and fill it with black;

  

• Step 3 Outline the object the person is holding and give it a white color;
  I had to use a lightsaber in the vector just to give that little extra effect.
  If you want that to, you can do my Lightsaber-Tutorial;

  

• Step 4 Add a medium grey background or just a random grey gradient; (It really makes no sense, since it does not matter)

  

• Step 5 Now comes the hard part;
  Outline the bodypart that is covering the body and holding the item, but isn't being shown on the previous images because it was the same color;
  Take that object, make it white and then you notice you have 2 layers wich are actually the same body.

  

• Step 6 Take a grey brush and brush ON A NEW LAYER BETWEEN the arm and body some medium strokes;
  Then, press CTRL+I on the bodypart and it will fit like a glove;
  The grey makes the arm point out and makes it look like there IS an arm instead not in many vectors...
