![]() The client wanted me to create an illustrator piece of art from a painting on her wall in a bakery. So the art on the right was created in Illy using the reference photo on the left. I opened the photo in Photoshop and used the vector tool to trace the outside of the bundle of wheat and then I traced most of the individual stalks. It's much easier to see pixels in PS, which is why I did it there rather than Illy. After I finished the stalks, I exported the paths to Illy. I went through and colored the different groups of stalks in their colors. You'll notice some are brown, some yellow, some gray...etc. I copied and pasted some of the stalks on top of eachother and made them a shade darker or lighter to give them a 3d look. I left the tracing of the entire bundle in the back of my layer order so that any small gaps are filled in by the yellow of the background. This helped to tie up the art and make it a unit. This really didn't take too long to complete. I would say roughly 3 hours from start to finish. Last edited by Cwilk; 08-10-2007 at 11:47 PM. |

The trace tool could have been used to trace a raster to vector, but the trace tool really isn't even a tool that should still be in Illy because it rarely works.
I used Streamline many moons ago, but it wasn't great at converting either. |
