Been futzing around in adobe most of today so far, in between helping out Uncle D with the kidlets. ('Bout a 50/50 split thus far, in terms of productivity.)
But I've been pondering the best way of adapting some sketches into maybe t-shirt designs. My problem at the moment is figuring out the best thing to do to take a pencil sketch and get from it eventually a clean-edged, solid black outline. I'm sure there is a simple way to draw a clean, smooth curved line other than freehand, I'm just not... actually certain how. I'm assuming it involves those line and object-drawing tools I generally avoid because I don't know what they do or how to make them work the way I want and, currently, I'm too damn lazy to go hunting down a tutorial.

So I wound up making icons instead. Because I know how to do those.

I kept a bunch for me but there's also a little set of blanks and bases I'm not going to use so, if anyone wants them, feel free to grab.

also want to add that I'm totally unfamiliar with the photoshoot (except for that last photo) but Hugh is completely adorable.

Heh, I wish they were a photoshoot, but they're screencaps from some Lipton-related linguistic insanity

Aha! that explains it... I haven't been close to up to date on Hugh since he was shooting that ad with the girl wearing the lemon sheet in Brazil.

Yeah, this would be from what appears to be an in-house motivational "Hi, I'm your new spokesman, let's kick nestea's ass!" video that evidently had to be at least part-recorded in several different languages.
These are from the outtakes.

oh good god... are the outtakes posted on the board? They sound HILARIOUS.

Nevermind... apparently LJ didn't feel like sending me a notification for the other comment. *swats lj*

*LOL*
Did wonder...

He was, indeed.

And that is why.

I have no idea. But there must be an easier way of creating clean, smooth curves than having to freehand draw them.

I don't know if this helps at all, but when I used to attempt to make my own icons, I frequently referred to this.
