    Default trace or draw

    Hi

    should I trace the attached graphic to get the aircraft outline or draw from scratch?

    I'm tempted to start from scratch does anyone have any other ideas?

    thanks

    Ian

    Definitely redraw using the image on a reference layer.

    Here's a little something that I slapped together in a few minutes. It's nothing to write home about, but maybe it will give you a starting point at least. It's a bunch of pieces and parts that are all grouped together. There is an ugly wierd shaped white blob in the back just to fill in the gaps between shapes.

    Hope that helps in some way.

    agree, trace it by hand. Xtreme's tracer is very poor at tracing line drawings like this, and even those programs with better drawing tracers (eg. Inkscape) won't be able to get much useful from an image of such a small resolution.
