I might try that, instead of using shapes while using the pen tool.
You see, I was taking lessons from somebody on Youtube by the username OrangeL89, he said to use the shape tool while using the pen.
You should check him out if you hadn't already, let me know what you think of him, I really don't want to accidentally take lessons from the wrong guy.
In the meantime, I'm going to try using the pen tool, with using the paths instead of shapes, the second Twilight Sparkle that I've vectored was in shapes.
And no, I'm not using any form of lasso for vectoring ponies ever again
Thanks for the positive feedback, it makes me feel very good
Right now I'm vectoring my first Apple Jack, I'm going to use that advice that you gave me
Later.
