Converting line drawing to vector?

PoleStar · 2012-02-12 10:57:52

A strange request perhaps but is there anyway that I could convert the below image to either a jpeg with the black line drawing only on a white background or even better edit and convert so that I can have a simple line drawing vector graphic in illustrator on a white background? Any idea of the steps I might take to do…

Thanks if anyone can help, the picture has sentimental value as you can probably guess! Plus unfortunately when the photo was taken it was just a quick snapshot!

I assume thats a photo of the drawing on a wall? Open it in Illustrator and use the trace function and it will produce a vector version of it.
