In today's class of Introduction to Digital Art we learnt how to trace scanned images using Adobe Illustrator.
We got a scanned image of a sleeping man that had fallen out of bed with his teddy bear, we then had to copy it into illustrator, go to the window tab and select image trace, after that we were able to change the presets of the trace until we were happy with it.
Then we selected the expand button, so we can edit any lines we needed to manually.
Next we moved onto coloring with the live paint tool, which we used last week.
This is how my image turned out...
I really love that pattern on his pajamas, it speaks to me on a spiritual level.
After we did that we played around with the same image using layers, transparency and the paint brush tool to manually paint the image. That was a bit more difficult and staying inside the lines was tricky.
After that I had a go at using the tracing tool with some photos of me, the lines didn't turn out bold so it wouldn't be an ideal way to do my pop art comic artworks, so instead I'm going to draw out the photos of me and then scan them to the computer and then trace the scanned drawings and colour them in Illustrator, then add any effects I may need to create the pop art comic images.
Tune in next week were we use Photoshop.
Peace!
