Thank you so much to @CrazyCatBird for the advice and help,  
[How I do Vector in Krita](https://krita-artists.org/t/how-i-do-vector-in-krita/52962) the tutorial is very easy to understand and follow. 👍 :digital_pen:  
:kiki_sweat_smile:  
even though in practice [I'm having trouble with Select Shapes Tool](https://krita-artists.org/t/im-having-trouble-with-select-shapes-tool/53055) and haven’t found a solution yet (maybe I have to re-install my krita app to get back to normal, who knows?)after re-installing the result is still the same :kiki_upside_down:.  
but… yes,this is a valuable lesson for me to . . . finish my WIP :kiki_laugh:, and this is my first vector work in Krita:

It’s pretty! I like the colors you used. It came out nicely!  
There is a Vector tag too! You should add it to this post.

I really love the way you used vector to create the scene. I’m still learning how to use that tool – I was inspired by [@CrazyCatBird’s vector rose](https://krita-artists.org/t/vector-rosebud/44701). Have you seen it?

Of course I’ve seen it and it looks real, I really like the color. :kiki_love:

The strawberries immediately caught my eye, I have a strawberry allergy!  
Therefore, I am extremely vigilant at all times not to accidentally come into contact with them.

I’m back to using vector layers, and it’s still difficult because there is no color picker option/button for stroke or fill in the tool options. Because for me, it’s faster to use the color picker on a pre-made object than to look for colors in a row of color palettes (I’m too lazy to remember where they are). :kiki_upside_down:

These are the parts that I will compile for the second entry of this month’s art challenge. Actually, there are still many things I haven’t made yet but I think it will be easier to make them later along with compiling these parts.

Happy drawing :kiki_love:

**Do you agree with me, and want a color picker (Pick colors from image like inkscape) for stroke and fill in the tool options?**

There is a colour picker function for vector objects for stroke and fill but it’s clumsy compared to the Ctrl+click operation of the usual colour picker for paint layers.

When a vector object is selected, it’s Fill can be set by using the FG Select a Colour window colour picker and the Stroke by the BG colour selection, by selecting a colour from somewhere else on the canvas.  
If you want to select a colour from another vector object you use Shift+click.

Also, the Select a Colour window is quite large and often has to be dragged out of the way to see the location you want to pick a colour from. As I said, it’s clumsy.

There may be other or better ways that I’ve missed.

You ought to create a Feature Request topic for this. My idea would be a colour picker icon in the Tool Options docker in the same way that the FG/BG Select a Colour window has a colour picker icon.

I agree with you,  
I’ve also tried to find out from the krita documentation, and some youtube tutorials about vectors in krita because the absence of a color picker dedicated specifically to vector layers makes it look like something is missing.

Thank you, I will create a new topic in feature request soon :kiki:

I like to draw abstracts as a liberation of the mind from any understanding be it learned theories, distracting thoughts, and inexplicable nagging things. And after completing this abstract work I can feel a sense of relief.

I sketched this piece on the raster layer, and then created the shape on the vector layer. I didn’t group any of them and gathered them into 2 vector layers (one normal mode, the other hard light blending mode).

Don’t ask me what the nodes or shapes look like, it’s very messy. :kiki_laugh:
