What is a vector file | Cosa è un file vettoriale
ENG - A vector file is an image composed of lines, points and geometric shapes, constructed on the basis of mathematical calculations. Ok... What does this mean on a practical level? If in a raster image, then a set of microscopic colored dots called pixels, sizing means a loss of quality, it is not the same for a vector file. This type of file is theoretically scalable to infinity without losing quality.
The most used processing programs are Illustrator of Adobe and CorelDraw of Corel. Also in the freeware there are good programs that allow excellent results: InkSkape; Affinity; Vectr and certainly others.
Vector file formats can be .ai, .cdr, .svg, .eps, .pdf and some other rarely used formats.
ITA - Un file vettoriale è un'immagine composta da line, punti e forme geometriche, costruite sulla base di calcoli matematici. Bene. Cosa significa a livello pratico? Se in un'immagine raster, quindi un insieme di puntini colorati microscopici detti pixel, scalare significa una perdita di qualità, non è lo stesso per un file vettoriale. Questo tipo di file è teoricamente scalabile all'infinito senza perdere qualità.
I programmi di elaborazione più utilizzati sono Illustrator di Adobe e CorelDraw di Corel. Anche nel freeware ci sono dei programmi buoni che permettono degli ottimi risultati: InkSkape; Affinity; Vectr e sicuramente altri.
I formati di file vettoriali possono essere .ai, .cdr, .svg, .eps, .pdf e qualche altro formato utilizzato molto raramente.
Image in vector paths. Different sizes, same quality!
Immagine in tracciati vettoriali. Dimensioni diverse, qualità uguale!

ENG - Building a vector illustration often takes more time and is more limiting than working in raster formats. Usually it is more difficult to reproduce a classical technique (watercolor, acrylic ...) in a digital form. It's more likely to use programs like Photoshop, Manga Studio etc. Furthermore, it is very complex to automate the vectorization process, often this process must be done manually and it is a very time consuming operation.
Scalability, however, is a big plus, which means I can use that image in minimal size on a business card like on a giant poster with the same print quality. Vector illustrations, for example (but not only), have been widely used on microstock's plattforms (like shutterstock, adobestock, istockphoto ...), where the same image must be able to meet the different needs of customers in made of dimensions. They also often have a very defined and clean style so they have become the favorite tool of some artists who love this kind of effect.
ITA - Costruire un'illustrazione in vettoriale richiede spesso più tempo ed è più limitante rispetto alla lavorazione in formati raster. Di solito è più difficile riprodurre una tecnica classica (acquerello, acrilico... ) in forma digitale, come avviene invece in maniera molto realistica con l'utilizzo di programmi come Photoshop, Manga Studio ecc. Inoltre è molto complesso automatizzare il processo di vettorializzazione, spesso questo procedimento va fatto manualmente ed è un'operazione che richiede molto tempo.
La scalabilità è però un grande vantaggio, significa che posso usare quell'immagine in dimensioni minime su un biglietto da visita come su un poster gigante alla stessa qualità di stampa. Le illustrazioni vettoriali hanno per esempio (ma non solo) trovato largo utilizzo nei siti di microstock (shutterstock, adobestock, istockphoto...), dove la stessa immagine deve poter andare in contro alle diverse esigenze dei clienti in fatto di dimensioni. Inoltre hanno spesso uno stile molto definito e pulito, sono quindi diventate lo strumento prediletto di alcuni artisti che amano questo tipo di effetto.

Awesome explanation for these two kinds of digital drawing formats. Even the average person will be able to understand it clearly! My favorite is the sleeping fox, it just looks so peaceful and cute

Do you know this site:
https://convertio.co/de/jpg-svg/
You can convert there any image file for example in svg. When you have a clean image the svg image concertion turn out very high quality.
I know vektor art can be much more work then a normal drawing so you should definitly chack this out ;)

Thanks I didn't know the webiste and it can be useful in some cases. There's a converter in Illustrator too. But at the moment, when you need a really precise work it's still the best to do it by your own. It takes time but it's the best option in case you need a clean work.

Non conoscevo affatto questa differenza tra file Vector e Raster. In pratica nelle arti grafiche è forse sempre meglio avere un versione vector del proprio logo e dei propri font caratteristici per riuscire a coprire ogni scopo applicativo. Immagino siano parecchio pesanti comunque se paragonate alle dimensioni di un file Raster.

Eheh quello era per un progetto di una mensa scolastica!
Si nel campo della grafica trova largo utilizzo il formato vettoriale. Un logo DEVE essere in formato vettoriale. Ti dirò che in molti casi sono parecchio più leggeri rispetto ai file raster, specialmente considerando le dimensioni. Essendo basati su calcoli matematici, puoi fare una scritta di 2mx1m e avere un file poco più pesante della stessa scritta dieci volte più piccola. Nel raster invece, avendo una "quantità" maggiore di pixel avresti un file molto più pesante! Discorso diverso se si iniziano a introdurre trasparenze e effetti un po' particolari...

Cool! Which book have you worked on? You can give it a try once, just to see if it may fit your style. Actually I do prefer a bit working on traditional, but I've found the market requesting more digital in the illustration field and it's faster to elaborate too...

It was a maths (pre-concept) book by Blueberry publications. And a text book by Frank Bros Publications. I also worked as a Kindergarten teacher for 5 odd years . And hence created innumerable in house story illustrations too :) . And then I moved into fine arts and started working on my collection and got into Aqua training ( family business ) .
I agree that there is a huge market demand for digital illustrations.
It is more vibrant , cleaner. Also faster and easier.
A base of traditional art knowledge and digital medium is a great qualification in the field of illustrations :)
Perhaps I will give it a try, as you suggest, @airmatti :)
