My randomly made Storm Hawks charater.
And this is why I hate the school scanner with a passion. It has too many sliders that tells you nothing of how the end result is going to be. It takes forever and a day to figure it out, and once you actually get your lines black it decides to brutally murder the colors.
Dear School scanner....IT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE WHAT IS IN MY SKETCHBOOK!!
The home scanner is much better. It has a drop down menu. "Hello, do you wish to scan a color photo, color document, b&w photo, b&w document or a text page?"
You scan it and it gives you a slightly muted version of your picture. All you need is to spend 2-5 minutes in photosop or sai pushing the brightness/color slider, and guess what, it looks like the page in your sketchbook.
When I get back to school I'm buying myself an A4 Canon scanner/printer. Because form experience that will make me happier than spending hours trying to figure out how to work that thing down in the studio.
