(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!</p> <p>...then a friend was over and reminded me that paper and pencil tracing works.</p> <p>...then I remember that I have literal translucent tracing paper, a printer, and a scanner.</p> <p>So yeah, printed those images and traced them with a pencil.
