sketch to vector

[zena]

I'm using CS4 (still...I know).

BEFORE (pencil sketch)


AFTER (CS4)


It was a really quick and careless sketch.

the jump into the CS series was probably the biggest change for the adobe products. the differences since then haven't been all too marginal, although some of the features in the new versions are nice.

Nice... I'm still on CS2.. haha.. I havent found a need to upgrade yet

LOL!!! Okay, I don't feel so embarrassed now.

yeah, I figured there wasn't too much change.  Eventually, I'd like to upgrade though but for now, since I am still a rookie, it does the job.

Whoa.  It's awesome to see it from sketches to an actual piece!  Nice! 

So you just scanned some sketches and reworked it into vectors in photoshop?  I have books FULL of my old sketches...hmm m.....

Thanks.  I actually took a photo of it then uploaded.  Give it a try...the hardest thing for me are the layers and knowing where to start.

Very cute moonangel.

Thanks!

After looking at the image via my macbook screen (I normally use a larger screen to do the photoshop), I found the face of the boy too light so I darkened him a bit.  I also added a little more color to the girls legs and arm.  Here's a larger image.

The Hmong couple is cute!  Good job!  Adding more color to the skin really makes a big difference.

You should share some of your artwork if you have any.  It's too bad floppy's are obsolete.  I had a bunch of them too.

I haven't render any artwork for the past ten years.  I can dig up old stuff I did.  I kind of keep these things around here and there.

lol, just reminded me of some old animations done onto beta max. gosh that's so old.

That happens...the not drawing anymore.  Yeah, it's amazing how far we've come with technology.  I can't speak for other computers but Apple laptops and desktops don't even have CD players on them anymore.  Imagine the future generations who grow up not even knowing what a CD or CD player is 'cause everything's downloaded directly from an online site or a cloud.
