🛠️ Ever wonder how to turn a hand-drawn sketch into stunning 3D laser art? In this video, we take on a custom request to transform a rough Mariners Cross drawing into a beautifully layered wall plaque using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and our AEON NOVA 14 laser.

Watch as we upscale the image, clean it up, convert it to a vector SVG, and build a three-layer design with custom stains and engraves. Whether you're a laser beginner or a seasoned pro, you'll love seeing this drawing come to life step-by-step!

💡 Perfect for anyone wanting to learn:

Image upscaling & tracing tricks

Illustrator layer separation techniques

Best practices for multi-layer laser projects

✅ Featuring: AEON NOVA 14, Photoshop, Illustrator, and LightBurn
