If you scan at a high enough resolution and are careful about what you eliminate you can get good results. I'll send you a sample.

Fri, 24 Feb 2006 16:40:18 +0000 http://blognitivedissonance.com/2006/02/23/abstractoon-2/#comment-3516 John, I appreciate the tip. Maybe I'll have to learn how to fiddle with contrast curves like you said. I've tried to work with artistic computer programs to clean up drawings a bit and usually been dissatisfied with the results, which often look unreal or artificial to me. I'm probably just not handy enough with these kinds of tools. Sometimes too I enjoy seeing rough lines, paint drips or that sort of thing in a piece of artwork. John, I appreciate the tip.

One technique that I have used is scanning in the B&W drawing, using photoshop (or gimp) to erase the pencil lines, and then coloring in photoshop. You can get rid of the pencil lines by just fiddling with the constrast curves. I’m no artist but I have done a bunch of custom clip art for presentations for work.
