Once again I approached this tutorial series thinking it wouldn't be as valuable to me as some of the others, but I left the series being glad I took the time. I didn't think tracing would be something I would use much, but now that I have seen Ian's tips I expect it to save me a lot of time in the future. I'm only bummed now that this is the last in the series (at least for now).

this Tut had some great ideas in it. I enjoyed seeing an illustrator video that was not afraid to share a little space with photoshop. I felt like a bit of a bumkin when Iain put the hand sketch on the wacom, and traced it. I have never thought of this simple little technique. It will save me so much time! awesome tutorial!!
