I can vouch for this.

My first attempt at vectoring was Tohu and it was difficult, since I was learning as I went.

Meh, I started vectoring with Kanohi shapes. Sadly, I still don't really like how Illustrator handles the drawing process compared to other programs I've used.

Kanohi are pretty simple shapes, I approve of that, Xccj.

Updated the entry with a simple guide on how I do vector in PS.

The problem with me is that I tend to skip the simple stuff because it's too boring.

I went straight for drawing Matoran. Sure, they weren't that good, but then my computer crashed and I was forced to redraw everything, which is good because some of the redrawn stuff is the stuff in my banner, which is pretty good.

EDIT: Oh wait you can't see my banner.

But anyway, yeah, just keep doing it and you'll get better. Don't go for ridiculously complex stuff, but also don't go for ridiculously simple stuff.

But just the other day you didn't know what .eps was. =S

I started vectoring with ponies...

I'm still kind of learning as I go along.

I have never had the patience to learn vectoring. If I were to learn it, I think one of the main things I'd use it for is designs for minifigures and other decorated LEGO elements. It's possible I'll learn it at my next college, since I'm going into industrial design and that might include some basic elements of a graphic design curriculum. And if not, any design school should have some guides to getting started with vector graphics in the school library.

I started out vectoring ponies and look were I am now. B)
