That is pretty good. I'll give you a hint and anyone else that may read this may get a good understanding as well. When working with graphics it is a really good idea to increase the size of the image way, way larger than you intend the finishid piece to be. So much larger in fact that you can't even hardly tell where you are without zooming out. For instance if you had enlarged the photo to an extent that only part of the lips showed on your monitor when tracing with the vector layer you would not have had to worry to much about being perfect and when you shrank your vector image down you would easily see near perfection without even sweating it, or even having to have much artistic talent, you have a computer, it is a great tool use it to it's limits. Continue on and you will be able to do a pice like this in less than two hours easy. Good luck.

P.S. This trick works with all graphic design images when you really need to get the hard part of the detail work done.

   art before. I spent an insane amount of hours on it though, the week it was due. In total, it was
   about 40 hours in all for this project, but I got a 20 out of 20 for it, so it was wort...
