I have used Livetrace on Illustrator prior to this project, however i wasnt sure if it would be an appropriate option for working with this drawing, this being because my main influence (le munch) used mostly scribbly looking drawings, and live trace tended to produce either too washed or too crisp a line. I therefore did a few tests using the different live trace settings in order to evaluate whether i could use it in conjunction with my drawings. The main reason for using Livetrace in the first place, was as a viable method of quickly cleaning up and professionalising an illustrated piece, which as it is eventually to form part of a magazine spread, is a neccesity.
Live trace allows objects to be rendered specifically depending on their purpose, with options such as comic art and technical drawings which, being polar opposites, need different kinds of digital attention to be most effective.
