How to recreate this image in Illustrator? need help

Hello dear Illustrator users. I have come across an issue, I want to print a large image, therefore I need to recreate this image which has a resolution of 2000x2000 to a resolution of 12000x12000. The reason why the resolution that I want to remake it in is so big, is because I want to print it in a very large format (100cm x 100cm). The painting itself is has a lot of detail but is not complex. Since I am new to illustrator and havent mastered all the tools I had trouble doing it by hand. I tried the live trace option and that failed too. Can anyone help me to recreate this image without losing its original qualities and features?
The image is: https://imgur.com/a/3Fs79

Let's simplify.

So 12000 x 12000 is 166" x 166" @ 72ppi?

Yes.

  1. Open that image in Photoshop and choose Image > Image Size...
  2. Near the bottom of the Image Size dialog, un-tick the Resample check box.
  3. Edit the Resolution field: change 72 to 300 . . . and see the effect on the image size. That's what "resolution" is, the number that resolves the image (print) size based on number of pixels in a linear inch (ppi). Now the image size is 40 inches x 40 inches; just over your desired print size of 100 cm X 1

In my opinion, illustrator creates and re-creates. Looks like the image size or canvas is what you desire to change so you can have a large print out.

I would suggest you research the pixel / file size internationally on the web and be able to create an art board of that size and find ways

of resizing it.

Otherwise you are going to have to use another program as Doug A Roberts suggested.

Cheers
