Vector Painting :D

Asians are yellow, don't be afraid to paint something that way just because of a racial boundary. For example, black people are black.

Thats a pretty broad generalization, pal. Also, your example is flawed because blacks are usually black or brown or lightskinned, etc, not just black. White people would have been a better example, but im assuming you are white :\

I'm full-chinese. At anyrate, most people are too afraid to paint anything close to the like, or even draw whats there. Like big lips, uneven eyes, ears, buck teeth... etc. But yeah, I know black people have a large range of skin tones, but its the generalization that counts.

After all, would a black person be black if he weren't black or brown? Would he be "black" if he was drawn "white"? Like that asian kid was drawn "white" instead of "yellow"?

While asians are not "yellow" in the literal sense, I have semblence of "proof".

If you look at this... grid, 1 & 2 were taken from around the highest and lowest points on the original face.
1 is the shadows around his eye, and 2 is from his nose.
3 is from the vectorized picture's forehead, right under the hair, where is darkest.
4 from the lightest points, around his cheek.

If you compare the color selections, you will notice 1 & 2's position on the color "bar". They sit more towards the orange/yellow spectrum than 3 & 4, which preside mainly in the reds.

In the main box you can see this difference also. Clearly the top is a lot more orange than the bottom.

Then, you must keep in mind, that when you look at an asian's skin tone, it is often more saturated (resulting in a quite different look, almost fuller). If you look at 1 compared to 3, 1 is near the top right, which is more saturated than the greyer and whiter 3. As with 2 and 4, but to less of a degree.

If its a broad generalization, I demand you give a non-broad generalization. Saying Blacks are black or brown or lightskinned is still very, very broad. I also demand counter-evidence.

stuff

ok thanks for that but my point still stands

i had something longwinded written but idc really

Well I'm just removing the general notion that broadly generalizing a race of people because its TRUE isn't bad.

But it was also criticism and a point merged into one. Like you said, "I prefer "honesty"."

Don't be politically correct when it doesn't matter.

sorry moog but mr. strike wins this round by a long shot

 

[moog]

no no i got your point ididnt say it was wrong i just said its a pretty broad generalization

also i wasnt trying to offend you when i assumed you were white i just thought it was kind of funny that you said "black ppl are black", i wasnt being too serious on it :/

trust me im the last person who really cares about racial generalizations and all that crap

the comments were more of troll posts anyway and i didnt think youd take it that seriously

 

[Shadow_Strike]

Well, it doesn't matter anymore.
I guess what I really was offended by was the the fact that your post sounded like you were trying to make me politically correct. Which I totally hate.

It may not be vector in the true sense, but its pretty much the end results that count.
After all, we end up saving it as a .gif, .jpeg, or a .png anyways and those aren't vector files, those are rasterized files, so at any end point where you don't have a vector file, its no longer a vector.

<--- is a vector artist. pet peeve.
