Default Re: Photo to Vector Help

Most likely the photo was brought into a vector program such as Illustrator or CorelDRAW. The image is locked on a layer and a new layer is created for manually tracing the various elements/objects in the vehicle using the tools of the software. Pretty much how I do it. You can draw the image by hand, scan and trace to vector. This takes a lot of practice as getting a good scan and trace without the need for hours of cleaning up the image.

Just for an idea, this design took me about 6 hours to render from a customer supplied photo of the car. All vector all CorelDRAW.
