>>78311 if you know photoshop or something you'll know that an image is made out of layers with stuff inside

when you use the pen tool to make a curve youre actually making a shape, even if your line doesnt end where it started (like a circle would) you can still apply a fill. you can keep the fill and ditch the contour (the actual line), or keep the contour and have no fill, or use both. that depends what you need even if you have only one layer in the file, the program will still count two different shapes you drew as two different shapes, and not just 'these pixels inside that layer', but you can do stuff to merge them, even with certain effects ofcourse there's filters to change/morph the shape also, and you can change shape opacity, add a gradient, and so on. but don't expect to make something 100% photorealistic unless you have a strong computer and a damn lot of time ;p (although it's seen done!) .. if shapes can only have a colour, a gradient (of different kinds), a pattern, and the contour can only change colour or whatever then you can see the limitation, that's why usually vectors are used for cartoony like things, icons and tshirts, logos and such, but not nearly as much realistic painting and stuff
i dont really know where to get some tuts though btw D: but here's sum wikipedia
