Wrestling belt line art help urgent !!

Hi all , 

first off I love this forum it's just what I needed . But sadly yes I am a noob . I'm good at Photoshop but I have no idea with Corel draw . 

What I'm trying to achieve is a line art drawings of wrestling belts . It needs to be black and white as I will be using it as a resist for etching on to metal . I have no idea how the hell to do this I've tried power trace and everything . Any help would be great . 

Im trying to turn the top image into the bottom image . 

 

Thanks in advance

 

  • Sorry I meant bottom image to top image

    • What you need is vector art. Question is where did the image come from? Hopefully it wasn't designed in photoshop or any other raster based program as that would be nuts anyway! It may be available out there already as vector clipart.

    • it appears to be a mirror image so you could rebuild only one side but I'm sure that would take some time. 

      Mike already vectorized the art using powertrace in draw.  So you could overlay this tracing onto your original art and fine tune to match.  still will take a little time but not as much as creating from scratch.
