About the video: Digital Manipulation and Image Tracing

Overview

“The next step is to scan the thumbnail sketch into Adobe Photoshop. Once in Photoshop, I will show you how to resize the image to scale. Then your image will be ready to print out. Using the printed-out image, we will use the lightbox to trace the image onto a new sheet of paper.”

In this video lesson Yohey Horishita addresses the topic: Digital Manipulation and Image Tracing, which is part of the Domestika online course: Digital Illustration with Japanese Ink Techniques. Discover “tradigital” illustration by combining traditional techniques with digital tools to create contemporary artwork inspired by Japanese motifs.
