It does not appear to be a fade. That is an inner drop shadow.

yes I also use Adobe CC and a wacom tablet

As others have said... no quick and easy way. It just depends on how much time you want to spend with details, coloring, realism. Here are a couple of jobs I have done

Thank you both for this information

has anyone run across this one before? Looks like 2 different weights of the same family

nevermind. I was able to figure it out. Blackletter 686

Does anyone recognize this old english style font that has an inline feature?

I have done so a few times. Here are some examples The Vector Doctor The Vector Doctor The Vector Doctor

Look what just arrived. Much clearer. There is no way I could have guessed what the g looked like if I had to somehow work from the first version

Geared slab bold seems to match

yes I encourage people to send me their art to at least look at it. I often use a google image search hoping there is better art. Another option is to visit their social media pages such as Facebook. I have had many people tell me they could not get better art from the customer yet the logo...

When you push them and show them closeups sometimes they try a bit harder to find better art. Just received this from one of my earlier examples

OK here is my experiment. It is actually very high res image but I thought I would try and trace without zooming in at all. Imagine not having a zoom tool or being unable to scale up your image. That is what a customer is asking me to do when they say "don't zoom in" and then expect me to get a...

here is another example. If I were to trace this 10 different times, the thickness of each line and size of each square would not be the same. Even being off just 1/64 of an inch makes a difference at full size

Not a big deal if the stroke is very thin but it could make a difference if you are trying to match something. It is easier to just...
