This was an assignment for my illustrator class. A vector portrait of anyone. I picked Christian Bale cause he's a sexy beast XD I had a ton of fun with this I think I found a new medium to fall in love with. Traced from this source.

You think you could give me a quick rundown of what Vector is exactly?
Uh... hmm... it's kinda hard to explain but vector is points in space rather than pixels. I know that sounds weird. It's meant to be sharper than a raster image (which is composed of pixels) so not matter how big you blow it up or how small you shrink it, it will always keep the same image quality. It's used for printing a lot and illustrating I dunno know if that really explained anything you can probably get a more technical run down of it if you type in 'vector graphics' on Wiki.
Vector art is some of my Favorite, but hard to master. Its what is best for print work too.
