Unusual method of drawing shapes.

[Dangerous]

I am relatively new to vector drawing with A-Photo. The way I learned to draw things is to create the shape by drawing with the pen tool, with the shape tool or with the shape tool and then convert it to a curve & edit further to get exactly what I want.

I would set a stroke width & colour and also a fill colour. I also clip one shape to another or subtract one from another (Boolean operations) where necessary.

Today I have seen some basic drawings which appear to be drawn in a totally different way and was wondering why they were done that way.

To give an example, This is how it appears a round face was drawn. (pixel dimensions just for further explanation)

Draw a circle 103px diameter, draw a 2nd circle 97px diameter. Subtract the small one from the larger one to get a double outline. Set as no stroke - black fill. Draw a circle 100px diameter, set as no stroke - skin colour fill. Align with the 1st circle.

Seems a lot more work than to create a circle 103px diameter, set stroke to 6px and skin colour fill. Why would they do it that way or is this something that a 'Convert to ESP' program would do for file compatibility?

Hard to tell, without knowing the source you've seen that and also without knowing the possible intension, why that procedure has been used instead!
