Ai Sketch to Vector (via autotrace) Tutorial

Posted on 29. Apr, 2009 by Che McPherson in Illustrator, Intermediate

In this tutorial we will show you how to go from sketch to vector and maintain that hand-drawn look.

We start off cleaning the image in photoshop dont freak if you havnt got it, all photo editing software should have very similar functions.
The take it into illustrator and use the automated live trace tool, which I normaly think auto anything does a pretty terrible job but for rough hand-drawn linework it will work just perfectly. In up and coming tutorials I will show how to clean up an autotrace image so you have clean crisp lines and some of the other ways to take your beautiful art out of your sketch pads and onto your screens.

Ive finally learnt how to add call-outs which i think are an awesome addition to the tutorials.
and as always I would love to here from you as your feedback will help mold this site.
