Hi
I drew this o xara 6,took me a lot of time drawing over the picture.I wonder if this can be done faster,otherwise it will take ages to finish a comic book
you can increase view quality so the palace doesnt look so messy

Thanks for the comments
This is just for practice doesnt matter if Bond was a spy in WW2

Tracing paper. Lightly mark the shapes then go over them filling in detail with ink. Then you can scan. A lot of graphic artists use digital tools with artwork that began life as a hand drawing. You could even scan the photo, and print it out onto white paper as a very feint image that won't show on a subsequent scan.

thanks
i was watching a programme about 4 foreign cartoonistswho live in berlin.
They all draw on paper and use sable brushes,and pencils,from what i saw.
Since the more recent versions of Xara make freehand easier to use, I wonder why most still prefer to waste money on ink and use paper instead of tablets?

It's not about money, it's about the tactile experience and working in a medium they are comfortable in. I still think it's quicker and easier to make an ink drawing on paper than on a computer.

it is,but not so easy to correct when inking and coloring

I guess some people like a mix of modern and traditional media. Each to their own.
