 Last week, I shared a tutorial onÂ
"Create Line Art Cut File in Under 10 Minutes"
But after hearing you guy's response, I've decided to share another way to turn your work into SVG.. and this time, WITHOUT using iPad or Procreate.
Make sure to watch / read this tutorial until the end, because I will share why this technique is useful as well as the things you will need to watch out for.
Analog way is always fun, but there are few things you need to keep in mind.
Â
Â
Â
First step is the fun part.
Get your photo out, and place tracing paper on top of it, and start tracing!
Now, be careful NOT TO push the Posca pen so much onto the surface.
Because how the pen works, if you try to draw with a lot of pressure, the ink will spill as you move.
So you can just be gentle, and try your best not to create splash or mess here.
Â
After you are done, look over your drawing and see if thereâs any place youâd want to retouch. You wontâ be able to edit much after this step, so make sure to look over it!
Â
Â
Now that you have the traced picture, letâs take a photo of it.
Make sure you have something white underneath the tracing paper.
You want to make the background as white as you can.Â
After you take a photo of the drawing on your phone, go ahead and open it.
Next step is a bit strange, but if you are using iPhone, thereâs a great chance the photo you just took does not have JPEG extension.
We need to change that, and in order to change it to JPEG, all you have to do is to take a screen shot of this same photo.
Â
After taking the screen shot, you are doing to do a little edit to this one.Â
Open the screen shot you just took, and tap âeditâ.
Fitst, by using the crop tool, crop the drawing.
You want to make sure only your drawing have black, nothing else.Â
Then, tap this adjustable nob icon here to edit the photo.
Then change:
Exposure to 100
Brilliance to 100
Brightness to 100
Black point to 100
 If everything goes well, your drawing should look like digitized PNG.Â
When you are satisfied how it looks, go ahead and save the edit.
Â
Now, letâs covert this JPG to SVG!
Just send this photo to your e-mail, and save it onto whatever the device you are using Cricut Design Space with.
Â
I use macbook pro for everything, so I just send this photo over to my macbook.
Next, open https://convertio.co/jpg-svg/.Â
Once you are there, simply click Choose Files, then select the edited drawing you just made.Â
Then hit âConvertâ.
It will take few seconds for the website to convert your drawing, and when itâs ready, just hit âDownloadâ.
Â
That easy! Now you have SVG file of your drawing.
Â
Letâs see whether if this SVG actually works, shall we?
Open the Cricut Design Space, hit Upload, Browse, then select the SVG file you just downloaded.
You can find any downloaded file under folder âdownloadâ.Then, hit upload.
Upload it onto the design space, and there you go!
Now you have SVG file of your drawing, and can make decals, t-shirt, anything you want!
Â
It was fairy simple to follow, wasnât it?
This analog way to turn your drawing into SVG will be a fun project to do with kids.
Now, letâs talk about the things you need to keep in mind about this technique.
Â
I will definitely share many tips on Adobe Illustrator on this blog,
so let me know if you have any request!
