Illustrator - Comparison Between Drawn Image and Live Traced Image
Both of the images were created in Illustrator.
For the image on the left I imported my pencil sketch and then traced it using the Pen Tool.
I threw away my sketch when I gad finished tracing.
It's slow but very accurate.
For the image on the right I imported my sketch into Illustrator and Live Traced it.
That means that the computer created the line work for me.
It's faster, but not as accurate.
