i have this image of a black and white football and i need to take the outline of it and make it into a vector. im assuming i would just create different objects of each shape in illustrator?

is there a way to do this without creating each line with the pen tool??

maybe a mask kinda like in photoshop?

You can use live trace. However, it is usually not as accurate as doing it by hand unless the original is very high resolution.

This might help, since there's alot of tweaking you can do in Illustrator.
