Graphics Tablets advice

[Miez]

In writing this, I assume you don't have a scanner. Why don't you make your sketch and photocopy it to a reduced size (most photocopy machines can do this). This would work - it would be a lot of hassle though (and pretty expensive, unless you know someone with a photocopy machine).
Probably easier (and ultimately cheaper) to buy a really cheap flatbed scanner.

Thanks, miez and minimi.

I had already tried the trace-bit-by-bit-then-glue-'em-all-together approach, but I thought I was just being a bit ...erm... primitive.

You've made me feel better.


Still, if there are any other interesting ideas, I'm happy to listen.

(And I'm sure Yakspit also is, I'm not stealing the thread    ).
