    Ultraman

    Drew a silly ass pic of Ultraman! Used as an experiment to go from 8 1/2 x 11 copy paper pencil to full color without a scanner or inks. I'm having a problem with the pencil reflecting light when using a camera instead of a scanner. I do a fair amount of photography, but can't get even close to scanner level without all the line work being ruined. Very frustrating. Anyone have any tips? I probably just need a scanner really.

    I will probably try inks with the camera method soon, but I generally don't want to have to ink everything to get it into digital format.

    At any rate, here are the results of this test.

    That's not bad really.

    Try taking the picture with the flash turned off.

    Alternatively, if you have Illustrator, Photoshop or Paint, you could try redoing the lines in those programs and even recolor the pic if you want.

    That's quite a hefty package he's got there.

    No wonder he looks pleased with himself

    As for the quality of the photo etc -- it's not too bad. Obviously, a scanner would solve ALL your problems though

    Thanks. I have spent more time the past few years with my photography than drawing, I tried a lot of approaches and also adjustments in photoshop, just haven't had a total success for something as simple as a scan over pencil. I covered many basic tactics, just thought maybe there was a secret.

    Hahaha! Yeah, the XL package was part of the joke of the Ultraman interpretation.

    As for the scanner, it seems to be the way to go but obviously won't solve all my problems. It will certainly take care of some of my distractions.
