Sketches and Drawings altered in Illustrator

This is a pen and ink sketch I did of a Gustave Dore engraving.  It has been changed with the Live Trace and Live Paint commands in Illustrator.  With this sketch I show two different types of tracing presets.  The first preset is the default and the second is comic art.  On both I changed the black ink from the sketch to a color using Live Paint.  I didn’t feel that a fill color for this image was appropriate, so I left the body of the sketch white.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In this next image I took a sketch I found on google images.  I’m not sure who drew them, but lets be clear it wasn’t me.  I don’t want to steal credit for creating them.  Anyway, I did the same thing with these as I did with the above images.  I used Live Trace and Live Paint.  These were traced using preset Comic Art and then filled with color.

 

These are the originals from the web

 

These are the images after Illustrator

 

The next image I changed is a small house section.  I brought it into Illustrator and added color and some arrows to show a simple diagram of routes taken by occupants to exit the house in case of a fire.

 

A little unclear, but a first attempt none the less

 

The next image is of a simple black and white doodle that has been vectored and colored using Live Trace and Live Paint.

 

 

A little color to add some life
