Hand dawn Cartoon...convert to Vector?
Hand dawn Cartoon...convert to Vector?
(OP)
hello...
Years ago, I scanned a cartoon drawn by a deceased friend (a really gifted cartoonist)...opened it in (then Illustrator 2003 I believe); & w/ the help of the Illustrator community...converted the pen strokes into vector lines...then smoothed them...selected various line weights, etc. When completed...it was absolutely beautiful...made the original look like a corporate trademark...that good.
I need to do that again, but I recently began using Illustrator 2021 (&... have a really shi_ty memory). I was hoping someone here would know of a tutorial or some knowledgebase doc that could help me get started w/ this task in Illustrator 2021. [This cartoon is B&W only, so I won't have to worry about fill color, etc.]
thanx,
mwf

Manually tracing a scanned illustration with the pen tool requires reading of the manual.
