interesting how you do one stroke at a time.
I keep everything in one shape.
So far it looks good, but I would redo the shoulder, make it one large shape rather then 3 smaller ones. The points of intersection at to noticeable. It created 2 jagged points.

Hey! While we're at it lets do layout design in Photoshop instead of InDesign since Photoshop happens to have the text tool too!
If you're looking for a start and can only get hold of one, use Photoshop. If not I'd say get both, they're really not that much work to switch between.

i agree totally. certainly you can draw paths and select items in PS but the sheer tweakabilty (just invented a word) is unsurpassed. i think what throws people is the learning curve attached. it is not immediately intuitive to a PS user in the beginning.

you should vector that in Illustrator. looks good but i would straighten the lines on her shoulder a little.

No need. I can vector perfectly fine and easily using Gimp, but again let's not get into which programs are better because it gets these topics locked. The lines for the shoulders aren't anything finalized, just a starter line because the background was almost pure black and I could barely see the outlines. I'm going back and adding in the real lines for it, adding in the hand and gun, etc.

I personally prefer Photoshop to Illustrator for most projects simply because the sheer control you have over every single pixel of the image. Certainly Illustrator is a very capable program, but at least for a good deal of what I do, it takes significantly more time and effort to get a similar (same is impossible) result as I would have in Photoshop.
It should be noted that I do not leave vector curves vector, though. After they're finalized I rasterize them.
