It is not an 'effect'. It has to do with hard work. Like this (http://www.mickm.com/index.php?section=tutorials&id=99). You basically re-draw or trace parts of the original picture.

Good luck :)

(of course you can imitate vexel-like effects with automated effects, but they will not look as good : ) )

thanks but..... the one like the imags in this layie is what I'm looking for : http://colorfulcreations.50webs.com/Cupcake.html

Yes. You can actually draw that. I dont think you'd have to make that into a vexel. A vexel is a representation of an actual photograph, usually. I have never seen actual muffins like that on a photograph :)

On a deviant art (http://joshzma.deviantart.com/) account there is a good explanation on what a vexel is and how it differs from a vector.

Just draw :)

simple like:

And then it just depends where you find your inspiration from. And then you just draw.

However!! I googled some more and found you a tutorial!

second edit: i keep finding things for you...

You get the best result if you know how to use the pen tool:

Just going to let you know, vexels and vectors are two different things. Vexels are art in which you use the pen tool to trace a photograph and colour it or something somewhat in that technique, there are many different ways. Vectors can be a number of things from drawings to shapes. Vectors can be resized into any size, big or small, and not become pixelated atall. (: Hope that helps.
