Crosspost from the getting paid for your art sticky thread, but I figured here would be a good spot to ask as well. I'm commissioning my niece to convert an ink drawing I did to a vector file (is this the right term?) so I can have some shirts or stickers printed. I'm not going to sell the stuff, got no plans to license the design, profit from it in any way, or any of that. I just like the drawing and some other people do too, enough to want a sticker or shirt maybe. Anyhow, I'm sending her a scan of the drawing, and she says she should be able to do it in Illustrator pretty easily. She's a junior in an art program at a big university, very good at what she does, extremely hard working, all that. So I want to pay her the appropriate rate, but I'm not entirely sure she'll give me the fair market price since we're family. So if some rando from the internet emailed you a drawing, said "convert to an image file that could be used with screen printing or vinyl stickers, go hog wild cleaning up whatever you think needs it," what would you charge?

VelociBacon posted:How complicated is the image? It'd probably cost you $40 but I'd send her $100, she's in art school so it'll be fun for her to hold that amount of money, she'll never again get the chance. It's not especially complex. It's taken me probably 3-4 hours total from first draft to current draft, most of which was tracing from the first draft.

Yeah, I hear that a lot. I was really proud of my niece a couple years ago when, during her freshman year, she made a post on her art Instagram page telling people to stop asking her for free drawings and tattoo designs and stuff if they weren't willing to pay. I think she picked up early on that she's got to be a bulldog about getting what she deserves for her work.

Trabant posted:Are you effectively looking to vectorize your scans? Because if so I'll second your question. I've made some lino prints and would like the option of scaling and printing them in other ways. Yes, precisely. I've been doing lino cuts as well and would like those vectorized. See, I don't even know the most appropriate language to use for what I want.

Trabant posted:Yeah, I'm more or less in the same boat -- the only reason I know the term is because I ended up researching how to get a logo engraved into aluminum, and that required scanning old magazines and paying a guy on Fiverr to do the actual vector tracing... Awesome, if I can save a few bucks because I don't need all the Adobe functions, that would be great. I can always get it later if I want to complicate my life further. I'm very curious about your experience with Inkscape once you acquire it. quote:Also, do you post your prints anywhere? We have a trad art thread here and I'm always curious about others' works.

That looks really good. I bet GIMP + Inkscape will do a lot of what I need. Most of what I do is black ink on white paper without a lot of texture, just bold lines. Should be even less work than your print to get a high res vector file. The Godzilla print is dope on its own, I like that a bunch.

Is there an airbrush thread? I'm being gifted a siphon setup and want to learn a bit about technique.
