How To Trace A Photo Using Vector Software - Print & Watercolor Paint (No Drawing Experience Needed)
Do you want to turn your photos into a handmade watercolor painting? Trace a photo using a vector based software, Illustrator, Affintity Designer (one time purchase) or Inkscape (Free version). This photo of a branch of blueberries is a fun project. In this easy step by step video, I’ll show you how to trace any image into vector lines using Affinity Designer 2; a inexpensive vector based software. This method is perfect for beginners, artists, and creators who want fast, fun art projects without the learning curve. No drawing skills required.
Whether you're creating artwork for posters, t-shirts, a gift, all over printing on clothes, or social media, this video will guide you step-by-step through using a simple pen tool to trace a photo and fill in those lines with watercolors. I used the computer mouse to draw on the photo - a slight learning curve would be being steady with a computer mouse to draw lines.
An easy explanation of what is vector art:
Vector art is a type of digital artwork made using lines, shapes, and curves based on mathematical formulas - not pixels. This means the art can be resized to any size (small as a sticker or big as a billboard) without losing quality or becoming blurry.
Think of it like using cut-out paper shapes to build an image, but on your computer.
Great thing about this project, if you mess up, print it again and start over.
