oh right, paper exists

[varve]

Trying to make myself a logo, and I downloaded some references off the internet. (Public domain.) I'm trying to trace parts of them to work from, because they're old scans and I want line work, but I don't have any digital art skills or tools. Tracing things with a laptop touchpad is slow and frustrating!

...then a friend was over and reminded me that paper and pencil tracing works.

...then I remember that I have literal translucent tracing paper, a printer, and a scanner.

So yeah, printed those images and traced them with a pencil. That was faster, easier, and *much* more pleasant.
