How I did it: Vectorizing an image     posted on 18th of july, 2007

... in Illustrator.

Step 1

First, place a high-contrasted image (high-key image, in this case my model Iva into Illustrator work area.

Step 2

There is a bunch of tracing software and plug-ins out there, but for this example I decided to do tracing manually with pencil tool.

Step 3

Use your imagination, draw something that you imagine, not just what you see.

Step 4

In order to get a right side of the face copy+paste left half, mirror and join to get the full picture, and then draw an oval shape around.

Step 5

Make some basic elements like simple flowers, leaves, circles and stains.

Step 6

On the other hand, if you need this illustration for any purposes and don’t want to bother going through all this then get it here...
