lifeis2112: here's my process:



1) on 11x14 vellum-finished bristol: sketch the design in pencil

2) ink over the pencil with speedball india ink and a size 2 or 3 point brush

3) erase the pencil (speedball doesn't smear)

4) scan the artwork to PDF

5) clean up in photoshop using "curves" feature and save as PSD

6) open PSD in Illustrator and do a "live trace". this turns the artwork into vector.

7) drag the vector object back into photoshop.

8) add a transparent layer underneath the vector object and paint on it with a wacom tablet (but you don't really need one)



hint: type "free textures" into flickr and it will come up with a bunh of great stuff for you to use in your designs.

one more day!

a few more hours...
