Resources Week is a chance to find galleries at deviantART that you may have never visited before. It's an opportunity to delve into new things. At the same time, it's a great way for artists experienced in those galleries to enjoy themselves and have fun, maybe share a few new tips and tricks along the way.

Today is all about Vector Resources and Application Resources. This article includes both, but I'll be emphasizing on vector resources.

What is Vector Art? If you don't already have a firm understanding of what vectors are, I will quote from a previous article, 20 Questions with ChewedKandi (dA's Vector Gallery Moderator),

"In digital art there are two layer formats: raster and vector. Raster formats are based in pixels and vector is based in paths and points. When you resize a raster image, you are expanding the pixels. Your program has to try to estimate what the colours would be for the additional pixels created. Due to this, the image loses it's clarity and creates a pixel effect. When you resize a vector image, you are increasing the distance between the points. Due to this, the image doesn't lose it's clarity and doesn't pixellate. The key element of vector is that it's infinitely scalable without any quality loss and it's why we love it!"

Here's a great example of what this means:
