    Fabio, anything you do in Illustrator is VECTOR. Brushes, Pen tool, live trace, anything short of some of the filters is all going to be produced as a vector. Illustrator is a vector based program. Are you wanting a texture to your lines or a variable line weight?

    Don't you create vectors to output the films?

    Do you ink them first?

    More info Luther

    thanks a lot,
    Fabio
    I do all of those things depending on what needs to be done. I have over 300 images to work on a year and there is no standard trick to them all.

    I can't name one time I was happy when trying to streamline/livetrace an ink drawing without spending a shitload of time trying to clean it up first. You're honestly better off placing the sketch in and drawing directly over it.

    I do like to color in illustrator though. You can get some decent results making your own art brushes that can mimic to an extent varying pen/brush pressure.

    You can make a variable line weight by creating art brushes.
