Experimentation with Vector Graphics

[illwood]

So, I wanted to make a nice little present for my dad, so I decided to come up with a "team" t-shirt for him for his dragster when we are up at the track for nostalgia meets. I didn't want to just make a photo t-shirt and wanted to get a bit more of a professional look, so I used a photo along with the free vector graphics application Inkscape to go from this:

To this:

I'm pretty pleased with it overall. I might go back and put more detail into the engine, but I think too much detail would take away from the intent.

Thanks, it isn't much more than tracing at this level. It would have been easier if the picture had better lighting and the intake cover was removed.
