The extremely low contrast of the image makes it easy to trace in the
drawing software, since there are very few distracting lines or colors.
I, however think it looks pretty bland, so I bumped up the contrast by
about 72 points. The resulting image is a little grainy, but it's still
pretty good considering what I started with. Below is the adjusted image...
I started tracing it just to the left of the bridge, heading around
counter-clockwise. During the class demo it was shown that the curve
can be accurately traced using just eight anchor points. I felt that
it could be done with fewer than eight. The tracing below uses only
FIVE anchor points. The path I traced is colored red so you can see
what I did.
Now all that's left is to fill the image in with a pattern...
