Dropping In, Digital Art, 2026
This is the result of my first use of the "Concept to Vector" Generative tool in Adobe Illustrator. For the past five years, I've been tracing my old sketches using the iPad for Illustrator, Fresco, or Adobe Draw apps with the Apple Pencil. It took me several hours make an initial vector drawing of a sketch like this. This new tool created the vector drawing in less than a minute. The original is below. The generative tool left out complex shading areas but I can add them back in along with other adjustments later.
