this is the vector version of a painting i did of my friend merebear. this is one of my favorite pieces, also she is whearing one of the hats i designed.
well thers a couple ways to do this
1. the way i use is after i draw the desired image on paper i ink it on a second sheet using a lightbox so i dont have to erase any pencils, then i scan it and using a program called streamline made specifically for converting raster to vector, then i hit the convert button and bam almost aldone, the last step is to import the now vectorized file into flash and do my cleanup work.
2. just using flash import a jpeg(lock this layer) and create a second layer above it, now on your new layer use the line tool (i usually select limegreen so it wont blend with the backround.) draw a straight line following roughly the outline of the objcet your tracing then switch to the black arrow selection tool grab any part of the line except the ends and you can bend it and bammo youve got yourelf a perfectly smooth curved line. also if you want to get tricky you can select the line and use the convert lines to fill option and do some thick and thin on it.

`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More
