Looking to see if anyone knows this graphic and if theres a public domain one or were I can purchase it from.
I can't draw or trace worth a crap and vector magic isn't doing much better on this graphic.

I thought I had a flower like it but I don't.

thanks

It could be a butterfly. I am not sure where you can find something like that BUT there are several out there who can re-create it for you.

You could recreate it by using the pen tool in Illustrator or the bezier tool in CorelDraw. Wouldn't take too long.

Tried and failed miserably. One thing I need to work on is my tracing abilities. Wifey volunteered me again. Gotta love. No seriously cuz she gets 1/2 of everything.

Well, another approach would be to print it out pretty big and ink/trace it. Then you can take that into Illustrator and run it through Live Trace. At that point, then you can add the colors and outline to the pieces. I'd be happy to help more if I can. I can share my Live Trace settings with you if that helps too.

Thanks.
Don't have AI. Use corel and vector magic.
Might give that a try.
I tell her all the time. DO NOT say I can do something before you talk to me. But she ignores me and does it all the time. Glad Im not a proctologist.

You don't have to know how to draw. I can't draw either but I trace like crazy. I would blow that design up and print it out. take a piece of tracing paper and place it on top. Take a sharpie and follow the lines. Just like you did in kindergarten. Then take the design, scan it into the computer, and then bring it into corel draw. I also have a tablet that lets me cut out a few steps but it can be done rather easily the way I described.

You can use the same concept using CorelTrace. (I prefer CorelDraw for most things anyways)

Its a tatoo from the following gallery: 010-0032.jpg

you can download it for free i think, or copy and paste and trace with corel or illustrator if you need to.

Good Luck

Thanks.
I guess my career as a PI would have sucked as I couldn't find it anywhere and you guys got it fast.

Thanks

I googled "tribal butterfly" and got this one:

If you can't draw, and you can't trace... then you better get good at googling.

Guess you didn't read the first post. :-(

Wanna have a google off. Blow the keys right of your keyboard
