need help converting to vectors

[Czar]

[scroll down for the POINT]

So like, my English teache proved herself as a pain in the a... err thumb once again so she gave me a paper with stuff written on it and I was like suposed to draw something next to it. Like I'm some magic box filled with creativity and ideas. And if that was not enough, the next day she gave me 5 times more.


Anyway, to the POINT.
I made this stuff with a pencil, and now need help on how to conver to vectors. I was thinking, can i just scan b/w at a big res, then resize, and then go do adobe streamline in vectors, or should i trace it on paper with black ink and then scan black and white, etc. etc. ?

Well i tried doing the first way but it didnt come out very well, but i could very easily be doing it wrong.

Here's the file like it looks like now in real life, but iÃ,  also have a b/w scan ver.

Ofcourse, 1st i cut the pics and then edit them, but thats a different thing.

Thanks in advance.

btw the first one is more of a local joke

Hmm... scan at a higher contrast in greyscale, and keep the lines clean in, then you can do the following:

1. Import into photoshop
2. adjust brightness/contrast to define lines more
3. resize to 600 dpi or so, if it's not already in that size
4. use photoshops' cut-out filter tho get clean lines, with levels at 2, edge simplicity at 3/4, and fidelity at 1 or 2. This only works properly on greyscale pics
5. import into software that has a 'convert to vectors' feature, such as flash

This is what i got when using the small pic you provided:

Your pic file is not big and clean enough to do this properly, but you should get the idea.

Whenever I scan things I always make a color copy of the image first and then ink that copy. I always like to have the origional just in case. However, I do like the look of Bernhard's go at it. I like that grain look, which is most obvious in the top right picture. But if you dont want that look, deffinatly clean it up and ink it.

Thank you guys for all the help.
I eased my self the job, so i traced it on the paper with a black pencil, and then did it that way.
Yeah, thats all.
