Acoustic Cloud 2,202 September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 It really only matters how much you want it to be like the original, I still use blurred and pixelated reference images... if you are comfortable with gimp, you should be able to do it like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't then I would suggest using vectors because your going to get better results that way. Legit signature made by Shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does your school use it for? Either way you go, vector or not, you're going to have to invest some time either learning to draw on the tablet or learning how to use Inkscape. I would suggest learning Inkscape if you want it to look like the show else learn to use the tablet and use photoshop, PaintTool SAI or GIMP. EDIT: One is correct. If you're not looking to color or make it digital art then there are some techniques to improve a photograph of a drawing so that you could see it better. I don't know if thats what you want to do.
