PENCIL & GRAPHITE DRAWINGS<br />
Pencil/graphite drawings often loose a lot of detail in a scan, no matter what setting you use.<br />
Couchart at IllustratedATCs.com has a simple solution to retain a precise scan of pencil drawings.<br />
She suggests laying a standard clear transparency between your scanner and your artwork before<br />
scanning. Adding the transparency diffuses the scanner’s light so it doesn’t reflect directly on the<br />
graphite/pencil.<br />
These images were created and scanned by Couchart (Cynthia Couch). The image on the left is without<br />
the transparency and the image on the right is with the transparency. The difference is amazing.<br />
Scanning, cropping and editing your image ensures that you are shown to the world at your best. It may<br />
require a little bit of extra work, which over time becomes second nature, but it’s a small price to pay to<br />
always put your best foot forward.<br />
