How can I turn an illustration into a digital image?

November 21st, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

I want to turn an illustration into a digital image in order to get it embroidered onto something. I asked about it at Lids and they have a service where they digitize the image for $50. I would like to find something free or cheaper. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

once you have drawing on paper done, use scanner to import to image editor or use camera to upload image , then touch up or re-edit image to inaccurate copy of design you want,

    You aren’t going to get any designers to do what you are asking for what you want to pay.

    It involves a certain amount of time, skill, knowledge and effort to do what you require. Would you do something you specialise in for free, for no benefit and for someone you didn’t know… didn’t think so.
