I have been using Hand 2.0 for quite a while now.:D I have just started using PS 6, but even that is just to get my hand renderings to look a little better and get them in electronic form. I haven't quite figured out how to go completely digital yet.

So far, I have mainly just used it to clean up my sketches. I have been having fun changing colors on things. These have been quite to time saver when working with clients. It is quick to change colors without doing all the work over and over. Here is a small sample of some interior options I did.

I am working on one now that I painted a little in the background digitally (my first one with a big background- but it is to show the paint details you can't see on the rendering), but I have a friend coming over to give me a few more pointers.

I've posted something similar before...

I scan the sketch into Illustrator where I can true up the perspective and then it's off to Photoshop for color.

Hope that helps!

Yard dawg the line drawing/sketch in illustrator looks pretty jagged is it because you resized the picture or did it look like that in illustrator?

It's just from the resizing. That and PS rasterizing it I suppose.

Here's a close up.

Sorry, I just did this last night. Here are is a quick example of how I clean up my work with PS. Here is my sketch scanned in...

Next, I crop it. The biggest help I think is the ability to adjust the levels. It brings it back to more like the original. Then I clean up (erase) the background, add a few high lights and touch up a few spots, and it looks like this...

After that, I can put it on a drawing with what ever type of background I want. So the majority of it is still hand drawn, it is just cleaned up digitally. Hope that helps.
