Creating Vector Artwork from Paper Drawings in Adobe illustrator

When it comes to creating vector artwork from drawing that you have previously drawn by hand, there are a lot of benefits.  Once you have created vector drawing, they can be made as small or as large as you want without losing any quality, also you are able to apply colors and line weights that couldn't be achieved by hand. The first step is to create a new file in Illustrator, and making the file the size you would like the document to be with an RGB color mode selected and at least 300 dpi. Once you have your document set up, place the scanned hand drawing that you would like to convert into vector art on the first layer and lock that layer. Once that layer is locked you won't be able to edit the original drawing. Create a second layer and place it on top of your template, click the blob brush tool and select the color black to begin tracing out your hand-drawn image.  Tracing the outlines of everything that is on the original image will result in the outline
