I like to use India Ink and a primitive Bamboo Pens (above) to draw my characters, but you can even just use a pencil and paper if you like. 2. Take whatever tools you choose to use and start cranking out letter forms. 3. Next, I scan the images in at a relatively high resolution. 4. In order to get a better final result, I adjust the contrast of the scan. 5. I use an “outline font editor” (FontLab Studio) which is another way to say that the final product needs to be a vector. 6. 7. After you Live Trace, ungroup the objects. 8. 9. 10. 11.

But if you want that postcard shot or that image that shows how the location may have once appeared, you have a challenge ahead of you.
