On the note of getting your drawing onto the screen and the techniques that include it, what is your most used “live trace” option/setting to use? And how much do you customize it to have cleaner points and accurate traces?

Answer: Typically I use the default setting. Default AI CS4 with a 300dpi scan usually works best for me. I’ve got the technique down to a science. I’d recommend playing with it though because it might not match your style as well as it does mine. It might take a minute to figure out which setting works best!
