Hi Everyone,

I have now tried a few different blog designs, and none I have become happy about, so I wanted to start again, and with something a bit different.

So, back at christmas time, I got myself a graphics pad, and since then I have barely used it, So i decided upon doing a hand drawn blog. I have already sketched out what I want, and have since scanned them to my computer, What I wanted to know was, what brush/pen/pencil tool, and what weight/style should I use when drawing around these sketches?

Because I have had a few goes, and the drawing looks pixellated, so anyone got any suggestions on what I should be using, to make it look like this website when drawn:

Thanks alot.

Guessing no'one has any ideas about this then?

Well, I got in contact with the person who made that website, asking what tools he used and so on, and this is what he said:

'It's drawn in Illustrator, and I've used a 2px brush with pen
pressure. The "doodle style" was done with lots of strokes & stuff '

Ok, so I found out, but I don't own illustrator does anyone no an alternative maybe using photoshop?

Thanks
Craig

inkscape is the best open source vector graphics editor. inkscape is to illustrator as gimp is to photoshop.

Google it.
