I am new in design, and recently I have been given a task where I have to create images like the ones present on dropbox.com home page.
I am not sure what is the correct way of creating those images.I suppose they are called doodles.
Can they be created using Photoshop/Illustrator or will I have to use the method where I sketch the image on paper, scan it and then edit in Photoshop? If there is a way of creating the images other than that, then please let me know. Thanks
I draw the sketches that i’d like to convert into digital vector art.
I like to use Pigma Micron pens because they come in various thicknesses, are a rich black colour and they write beautifully but use whatever you prefer.
I also like to use tracing paper to sketch on – it’s cheap and there’s a smooth quality to the paper that’s really nice.
Scan my sketches with a flatbed scanner.
Scan at a high resolution of at least 400 dpi while using the greyscale setting. Open your scanned sketch into Photoshop to convert to digital
Another Method I Prefer
There's better way to draw, paint, or simply doodle than with the use of a Wacom pen tablet. And Bamboo makes it easy, using your favorite software applications and Just pick up the pen and start drawing or painting. Adjust line weight and opacity naturally through the pen's pressure sensitivity.
Use a pen tablet,that might help.
