Can you tell me how to do from graphic to sketch

[bigsmile]

Hi all,

Still need your help.

Please see below picture, can you tell me how to do by using illustrator or photoshop.

The original is a graphic, and the result is a sketch.

Thanks & Regards
Robin

My method is stroke in illustrator. But it'll waste lots of time, and the effect is not good.

You get faster at illustrator as you learn it better…*practice makes perfect.
You can try live trace and play with settings, but it will not produce as clean results, and tidying it after may mean more work…*if you're a perfectionist.

Looked a little more at your picture. When using illustrator you can use dotted and dashed strokes to speed up drawing stitches.
This may be a book that is suited for that kind of illustration electronic fashion media | resource for fashion industry specific textbooks and media.

Sheesh...you guys need to get away from the computer once in a while ;-)

It would take me about 10 minutes to trace the shoe using a dactylically manipulated high-contrast linear pigment deposition system (a.k.a. felt pen). Then scan the drawing and, optionally, do the auto-trace in illustrator.

Hire an artiste.

best, gordon p

Don't worry, I'll change your name to...ahhh....hmmmm..."Lucas Enkvist." Nobody will make the connection to you. ROTFL :-))

Dunno, I'd just do it with the pen tool in Illustrator. Auto-trace is for art students =P

Seriously though, it does seem that a lot of people will try to build a digital Goldberg machine to do things that can easily be done with the more simple tools available and a bit of skill.

edit: That might have sounded mean or something. I'm not trying to down-play folks who use automated tools. Just saying that the simplest solution isn't always in a pull-down menu.

Kind of a tangential issue, but I find the pen tool in Photoshop to be a LOT more usable than in Illustrator. The modifier keys (Cmd, Option, Ctrl) allow me to draw much more quickly in Pshop, and allow for much nicer curve fitting.

I've always preferred Photoshop's pen tool as well. It seems to create a smoother transition from one curve to the next than drawing the same shape in Illy. In Illy I'm often left with a noticeable "bump."
