i did this vector as part of my training in the way of becoming a vector dude. IT failed as a submission, And I don't know why...I know it is not great, but I need someone to point out how to make it better so I go back and do so.

Thanks for reading!! And if you post, thanks for that even moar! P.S. Couldn't find where to put the image so I am hosting it on my account outside here and linking it there. Hope that doesn't break anyone head or anything.

For future reference such threads should be posted in the Vectors and Vectoring forum.

The problem with your vector is the line quality. Its uniform thickness indicates you've used stroked paths. Originals tend to have variation in line weight consistent with changes in pressure and angle of the drawing impliment. The readability of images suffers if this is not reproduced and we flatly do not accept stroked path vectors as per the FAQ.

Thanks! ok, so...moving forward, I will post there. Thanks.

What is the opposed to stroked paths? Is using the width tool in Illustrator good enough? Could you (or someone) tell me more about this, or where to find a tutorial on this? I am new to vectoring. I do have a wacom, but since I'm doing this in my free time at work, I wondered if it could be achieved with only the mouse.

Thanks for reading my rant Kath-sempai. ^_^

Generally thin fills defining the outside of the line are preferable to stroked paths however there are other tools that can be used to simulate line weight.

Tablets are generally optional as generally with vector art you're pushing points around on a 2d plane and can adjust them to your hearts content up until outputting the image.
