Description
Yes, I made a new tutorial! This time it's about how scanners work and how I edit drawings in Photoshop.I know I said I wouldn't make any more tutorials, but I got soooooooooo many questions about this, and it's something I won't be putting in my artbook anyway, so I've been working on this all day long.
And now I'm tired...
Oh well, hope it's useful

Wow thats really helpful.
Cause it is. But I just need photoshop -.-"
How do you use the eyedropper to clean the background?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
you can pick the white eyedropper and click on the background to get a white and equal area
I explained it in the first version of this tutorial, but it got too big so I scrapped a few images and descriptions

Stupid scanner! Thanks for the tutorial! Now, I understand how to make the drawings look better after scanning them.

I...don't understand how to use the eyedropper to clean the background 
Could you tell us more about it?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
lol I know it's my fault 
When you want to have a clean white background, you can take the 3rd (white) eyedropper tool which is in the same window as the Levels one. Click on the white background, and voilรก: the background looks pale white

great! That will save me so much time...I always cleaned the background with the eraser tool before, it's long AND boring. Thanks a lot for the help

Thanks so much! This'll help me so much when I'll (eventually) post some of my work... Hehe, but yeah, thanks a lot, and I really can't wait for your artbook!

i had no idea that was the way it worked...i thot all drawings just look that dark and perfect in the original sketch.
lawl...denial.

lol they really do, but the scanner lightens up drawings because of the reflection of the light in the pencillines
I use Photoshop to fix my drawings until they look like the originals again

I've been thinking of doing one of these too. Good job girl!

This is an awesome tutorial and very helpful, I'll definitely refer to this when I scan my own drawings but as soon as my scanner is fixed though
And I really can't wait for that artbook. Good luck

thanks so much for the great tutorials on here, it has really helped fill in some tips and tricks that my art teacher left big gaping holes in learning, although I am mostly self taught. I am looking forward to your artbook, and learning your process of drawing.

This is pure gold for all those who CAN draw good pictures, yet they miss out on heaps of potential faves since it is poorly scanned.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
exactly!!! So many times I came across drawings which were so very well drawn, but the scans or pictures turned out horrible so they got less faves (which is unfair).
