    Take what ???

    If the image is big enough you might try tracing the lines with software like streamline from adobe... My personal favorite is the trace prg from Corel...

    what are you exactly talking about? what program you work in?


    as for tracing my favourite is the pen-tool in illustrator.

    If you trace a whole image or a bunch of images with the pen tool it takes forever... I run the inked sketches through CorelTrace to get vector images from my scans...

    In CorelDraw I can then colour them and manipulate them easily...

    For more precise work eg. animations for flash I do rebuild the whole thing in vectors to have more control over the objects and shapes used and be able to break them up in the way I need them...

    and yes... Corel might not be considered a tool for professional use but it works fine for me...
