yep, i'm agreeing with AWOL, tracing ain't my thing.No offense It's kinda like
cheating... but i do refer to drawings if i need any idea's and i draw when i'm
in a good mood. That's during the holidays, when exams and homeworks are
forgotten *tears wells up* sniff... sorry there ...erhmm and my mind is free to
think up a storm. Yes, well just draw circles when your free, it's like a
practice. heheh
If you trace with with a pen tool (ie. computer based tracing) then that's
definitely a vector.
If you literally trace with tracing paper and a pen or pencil, then no, I
wouldn't consider as doujinshi.
Doujinshi is more like your personal impression of a particular character or
thing. It's most likely to have been a creation of your imagination, rather than
a direct translation (ie. tracing).
The most common ways of doing doujinshi I guess~
* Sketches - just raw sketches of what your impression of the character should
be like
* Sketches + coloured pencil or rendering - your character comes more into
realisation
* Sketches + scan + colour via computer - many scan in their sketches and then
either trace over the sketch (to make the lines finer) or just colour it in
(leaving the raw sketch/ pencil lines) using a graphics program.
* Tablet - some people draw on a tablet which means you don't have to scan
anything in~ and then colour it in on computer too.
Apart from sketching there are other way of doing doujinshi, depending on what
medium you choose- using ink, watercolour, paint, markers- I won't go on
forever, but I guess my personal interpretation of doujinshi is an artwork that
is pretty much from scratch, can borrow ideas from other places, but is
generally derived from your imagination
Doujinshi is like just drawing a pic of something, but not copying something
exactly. Jus draw something original, but you can base it on whatever you want
obviously.
Like the topic title says, what kind of methods/techinques used to do a doujinshi? Does tracing a pic/printout also count? Just curious.
Suggestions, ideas and tips are welcome.
Tracing images or cutting out an existing image is considered a vector; not indy art.

It depends on how you trace it, lol.

Thanks for the input fellas, you were a great help, especially kuroimisa. Much appreciated.
