: How to create doodles/sketches similar to those on Dropbox home page? I am new in design, and recently I have been given a task where I have to create images like the ones present on dropbox.com

I draw the sketches that i’d like to convert into digital vector art.

I like to use Pigma Micron pens because they come in various thicknesses, are a rich black colour and they write beautifully but use whatever you prefer.

I also like to use tracing paper to sketch on – it’s cheap and there’s a smooth quality to the paper that’s really nice.

Scan my sketches with a flatbed scanner.

Scan at a high resolution of at least 400 dpi while using the greyscale setting.
Open your scanned sketch into Photoshop to convert to digital

Another Method I Prefer

There's better way to draw, paint, or simply doodle than with the use of a Wacom pen tablet. And Bamboo makes it easy, using your favorite software applications and Just pick up the pen and start drawing or painting. Adjust line weight and opacity naturally through the pen's pressure sensitivity.
