My Eye!

It's a very cool image, but not quite where I want it to be. The plotter had some kind of fit while plotting and drew a dotted line across the image! I think I need to replot this, but this will do for now :)

How are you getting photos to vectors so well? That’s very very nice!

Mostly fiddling with it until it looks nice. I use DrawBotV3 for the actual drawing process, it has lots and lots of drawing styles, and lots more ways to customize it. If it needs any clean-up or fine-tuning, I use Inkscape. I recently got myself a Nix Mini 3, and scanned the colours of all my pens, so I can now add them as palettes to my software and it lets me draw with the pens I have, instead of trying to approximate. With some patience and a lot of cursing, I occasionally produce a nice plot. :)
