Artist's Comments

Tossed out the first drawing of Dawn after several attempts to fix her legs.  Realized I wasn't happy with the overall picture, so why bother fixing the legs?  So, I started from scratch and am pleased that I did.  The scan really washed things out, so I will probably fine tune this a little bit.   Damn scanner... *kicks it*

Update 4/10/06:  Cleaned up the paper with handy eraser and darkened up some things, rescanned and adjusted the levels.  Think she looks a lot sharper now. [emoticon]

Amp up the levels on it till your darkest colour is balck, and you whites are white. That's what I'd do ^^ My scanner sucks too.

Good idea - I gotta clena up all the smudginess first though or it's gonna really look dirty! [emoticon]

Theeeeere we go :3 It does look alot better ^^ The problem with adjusting levels is that you lose the gradual change in grey scale, but as long as the origanal is as clean as you can make it, then usually it doesn't get too effected. This is a huge improvement though!! [emoticon]

It's doubtful I'll color her. I'm not good with any traditional media, and I don't have photoshop or anything. [emoticon]

Well, you could always color her the traditional way. I never use any software for my drawing, i'm an old style artist [emoticon]

I'm not confident enough to go messing with the colors in any traditional media [emoticon]
Only with the lovely option of "redo" offered in Photoshop will I attempt color! [emoticon]

[emoticon] i actually reread better and saw that you were already saying something like that, but i had already send you the reply...silly me. But, maybe this tip will help you, Themusicdied gave it to me, make a pale photocopy and practise, it's awesome to get the hang of a media and also, not to ruin a drawing [emoticon]

I think before I rescan, I should clean up all the smudgies first... then I'll try to use some program to fix the levels.

This looks awesome [emoticon] The gun looks great too. I'm horrible at drawing guns even though nearly all of my characters have guns [emoticon] And that sucks about your scanner you should get a digital photo one works wonders [emoticon]

I had my husband help me with the gun. I should ask him to post the little "tutorial" he drew up for me regarding gun drawing. It has really made it so much easier - weapons in general are such a daunting task for me! Thank you for complimenting my gun though - means a lot to me! [emoticon]
