Usually. :-) I've done artwork masters for a guy that makes things in
wax -
I start by importing a raster image (scans of hand-drawn stuff) and
tracing
polylines around all the important bits to establish a base before working
up the final thing. (The masters are then photographed as negatives,
reduced, and used to make etched metal bucks, from which rubber moulds are
cast...)


Excellent! Yeah like I said... you input coordinates and AutoCAD will
render it... it's just to meticulous and specific a program to be utilized
for general graphics applications. I do a lot of digitizing of hand drawn
work myself..... the most intense was a drawing in which I had to digitize
individual hairs on a Muskox. It was about 40 hours of work to complete.

The hairs had to be coloured to reflect the colour original. I had to not
only do the individual hairs but seperate the colour profiles on overlays.
Each hair ... or each group of hairs on any given seperation could be
altered in form or colour. The horns alone were on six seperate layers....
it's what the customer wanted.

I think I'd go bananas if I tried drawing an oxful of hairs! My biggest
'lots of the same' job was over two million yellow dots, but they weren't a
trace of hand drawings.
