I do an accurate pencil drawing (working at the same size, 10.5 x 22) of the illustration and receive approval from the client. The border is transferred to a white piece of Esddee scratchboard. With a T-square and technical pen, I draw the straight lines, using a wiggly motion on the pen, this keeps the lines from looking too mechanical. Thicker lines are drawn on the bottom and right side to give the border depth. The food icons are drawn and the Ecce Panis logo is copied and pasted in position. The border seen here, has all the wheat icons in place, but the original art only had 6 icons. The icons were copied and moved around the border, using PhotoShop. This saved a lot of time and probably did a better job. The border is drawn and now it needs to be scanned. Normally I would use my scanner to do the scan, but the piece is too large to fit on my scanner, so it is sent out for a scan. It is scanned in gray scale, 300 ppi and the same size (10.5 x 22). I archived a copy of the scan and opened the original scan in PhotoShop. It is converted to bitmap mode, using 128 threshold, and then back to gray scale. I named and saved the file to a folder on my hard drive. View detail of border.
