Not a bad vector. Could be a *tad* cleaner where her bang joins the hair on her scalp, but otherwise decent.

Not absurd res, though. If you want, I could upload a 16000x9000 "screenshot", lol.

The separation was actually in the screenshot I traced from. Blame the animators. :P

^ Still, when we vector such things we can fix them. XD

I do, anyway.

I originally drew it as one outline, then separated it (cause I'm a perfectionist DX).

A perfectionist that goes so far as to copy an imperfection that could be easily fixed? lol, I don't get it. The gaps are the result of the flash animation limitations, I imagine; no need to keep them in stills.

Are we playing the nit picky game? :D

You seem to not care about universal outline width or pointed tips. Parts of eyes are not real ovals and the highlights are not alligned with the edge of the iris. The bottom of the bang is not snapped to the shaded inside.

^ The bottom of the bang isn't supposed to be, going by the original screenshot (and shots of her hair from 'Cutie Mark Chronicles' where the shaded part of her hair also fell slightly below the front part); I imagine it's supposed to indicate how the hair curves around.

I don't see anything wrong with the eye shapes, personally. Her stroke also looks pretty even to me, except for one area (which I've since corrected after uploading it here). You're right about the eye highlights, but it's by what? 1 pixel? They're usually off by 10 in the show.

There's plenty of spots where the lines get thinner and thicker, and I doubt it was like that in the show as they just draw lines with the pen tool. It looks to me you draw around the lines and then fill it: outline the lines.

What I do is find the right width of the lines and trace it, then convert the lines to paths and delete an end point so the tips are pointed. Then delete any extra segments (as it like to create a lot of them) and change any unnecessary sharp segments to smooth.

Her stroke doesn't look quite like it has a universal width in that, to me (it might be slight, but it's not all exactly the same; the stroke around her left hind leg is thinner than the others, for one). I'm not sure what you mean by "pointed tips" (I've only been doing this for a couple months), but I think I do preserve pointed ends on lines where they exist in the original, and more rounded ends when they occur.

All eyelashes should be pointed; you rounded one. Her front right leg should have pointed ends; your's doesn't. The back of her mouth should be pointed; your's isn't. All inner hair strokes should be one pen stroke each; you only did it for the shaded area. Where the belly and back leg meet should be two separate strokes; you rounded it like it was one.

I've only been at this vector business for one month, I don't have a tablet (would that even help for pen tool?), and I'm using a freeware program. I'm sure our programs are different as I don't even know how you rounded your tips.

lol@ talking about unrelated image in comments. XD

The back of her mouth is as pointed as it should be.

As for the rest, it's artist's prerogative. Why would her right front leg have a pointed tip, for instance? Yeah, it does have a slight one in the original shot, but that shouldn't be there. Her leg is coming down from the other side of her body; the point where that leg joins her torso shouldn't be visible at that angle. The fact there's a pointed edge there is a similar error to the one that has the rightmost inner hair stroke on her scalp coming down too far and intruding slightly into her head.

Also you're inventing a couple details that simply can't be observed from as low a resolution screenshot as 720p). Where her belly meets the back leg is too obscured by the background light, and up for grabs as to how it's done.

You focus too much on replicating aspects that nobody but you and a few others would ever notice, while preserving obvious flaws that could easily be fixed. IMO, that makes no sense. It's about how the final product looks to the average viewer, not whether it's recreated to within a micron of the original screenshot.

^ Also, since you are trying to get that level of of detail, you might want to fix the yellow balloon on her cutie mark in this. One of the lines coming down from the inflated section bulges outwards when it should be straight.
