Making this a HUEG png... ?? ??? ?? ??? !9kbJjvwmwE
How do I vectored this?

Now, seriously /hr/, can you guys help me with vectoring this image or pointing out any tips/applications that I could use to do it? I need to vectorize this in order to make a poster. Someone suggested me the Rasterbator, which you guys probably know about, but that's not exactly what I'm looking for. Can you guys give me a hand? I know /hr/ must be the most experts about it in 4chan.

Thanks.

Inkscape is free and good enough

I prefer Illustrator though, if you have photoshop, you can start to train your pen tool skills without dling anything, vectoring with PS however is not that good...

Just use the pen tool and make the shapes and use the colour in the image

Out of question. Besides being a lot of work and time-demanding job, I'm not good enough at my mouse to do stuff like that. That's why I'm looking for automated things.

Wow... I'm impressed, but isn't that for artists? I'm a goddamn noob at it and don't have an idea as to how would I go about doing all that in Illustrator.

I have tried a few tools before, but the results I get are always mediocre at best. That stuff seems advanced.

if ure looking for something to automatically do the job for you, forget it !

As soon theres color, all automatic vector progs (including ink space´ and illustrator import function) will utterly fail !!!

its okish sometimes for b/w pics, but not for even basic colored ones like the one you want to do!

besides, even IF you had an acceptable result via import, they still lack the most basic function :

YOU CANT EDIT THEM EASILY !!!

(editing a poorly imported pic will most likely require more time than doing the whole pic yourself ! )

Thanks a lot, mate! That's exactly what I was looking for! How did you do it? I mean, the colors are a bit messed up, but I guess I can easily fix them.

Super-duper thanks! Here's an internet for you.

did you read all of the above ?

as said, editing this vector is NOT as easy as it looks... this pic uses 14 layers with non static objects (read : its basically one color layer for the whole image, editing the color of her hair, will edit the color of other parts of her body , too!)

if you really want to spend hours to try to figure out how to make this still look good :

1) download inkscape
2) open the png
3) go to path
4) vectorise bitmap
5) last option, multiple scans, color, 13-16 scans
6) wait a bit
7) hf

(although pic is from ger version, it should look the same in the english one)

The effort you would spend fixing the colors on this would almost be enough to vector it from scratch by hand, and the results won't be as good. Really, if you want something that doesn't look like ass, tracing by hand is the only way to go.

And you don't need to be especially skilled with the mouse, either; you can make paths that follow the general shape of the outline, then tweak them bit by bit until you get close enough.

to trace that from scratch I would estimate would take around 6-8 hours for an intermediate user, give or take for skill level.

why don't you just take the original pic, then
1) greyscale it
2) replace all shades not black or white with white
3) triple the image size
4) import to inkscape
5) add in colours
