Doodle Me This

[SmileyCassandra]

OMG! You are my hero!

In all seriousness thank you It took me a little to draw ^^ I'm one that has to get lines perfect...but it seems it still didn't come out perfect

Yes, that has helped me wonders

I use my home schooling scanner ^^ It was quite free, but that shows it is very much not the best I'll have to learn more about it Thank you for your help!

I am self taught too. I learned from people around me & had an eye for what I want to illustrate. Scanning is just a tool in your artistic arsenal in which to share your wonderful art with us.

1st off the top very nice vase from the East! & Lady, I also remember the Cliff Racers from Marrowind, very nice with those as well.

2nd. As far as your scanner... there are a few options hopefully to improve upon its abilities. I initially had a poor man's scanner, so my scans still had some details to them... but I scanned them at low quality so they ended up smaller scale to what I could have scanned. Basically, try to always scan at 300 DPI of your original. Also, most scanners have 3 settings or more on which way to scan. By this, I mean to say there is black & white, gray scale, & color scanning.

In my opinions, black & white are only good for solid inked works using black line art. For any kind of blending, shading, or layering that isn't cross hatching lines go with gray scale when using leads & charcoals (make sure to wipe your scanner screen down after too ). If you are using blue pencils for underlines & drafts, then penciling over those blue roughs, consider using color for your scanning purposes.

There will be other options too while scanning, like darkening the image or lines, removing dust or noise from the picture, & so on... experiment with your settings to find an optimum one that suits your illustrations. Hope that helps out some. I graduated from a cheap scanner to a somewhat cheap one. It was a step up, but it was needed for my purposes & what I wanted. You do pay for what you get, I went cheap & got cheap results LOL.

Yeah I probably need to get a scanner... Not sure what I'm going to do once I finish my drawing :\

So I only have 22 minutes before the site goes down for maintenance, so I didn't get to add the wall of China... And I lost my phone/don't have a scanner, so sorry for the crappy picture quality! It really doesn't do the shading any justice.

BUT.... Here's my picture that I worked very hard on of The Statue of Liberty, The Eiffel Tower, and the Hogwarts Castle.
