Today we are doing to illustrate a character using Vector like graphics in PS. I thing it's better to use Adobe Illustrator for that but I will stick to Photoshop CS.

Let's begin.

I will use square document for this one.



Now use shapes to create basic "parts" of the character: head, legs, body….

Here are the settings for shapes. Only the color must be black.







Then the eyes, I will pick a custom shape for that.



Now the body, you see every object stays on separate layer.







Now we will work with legs and some accessories.

The legs will be yellow only for you to see how the are going to be positioned.















Good custom shape. Looks like hair.
