Here are some pictures I took of drawings(not tracing) that I did today.

The images are big, so here are links to them: http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/1403/im0002390si.jpg

very good.

Thanks!

You seem to have some talent for freehand sketching.

Very nice!

Hey nice work. Are they charcoal drawings? My sister did alot of charcoal drawings and the first one looks alot like that to me.

Thanks . They were done with a regular pencil.

Hey Kristy
Have you sketched other subjects besides animals?

Well done Kristy, those are excellent! My artistic skills stop at stick men.

Yea, I used to all the time a couple years ago, and about a month or so ago I tried to sketch a face.

~Kristy

!! Very nice job there ~Kristy~ you are very talented. Keep up the good work.

I think you're having a problem getting your images into digital format. Do you have a scanner? How did you produce your photos? The second image is only 7KB in size, that's not nearly enough to show the detail in your artwork, you should be looking at 50KB as a minimum, and up to 1MB if you want to be really pro.

I do have a scanner but the quality of it is much worse than the digital camera that I have been using to take pictures of the drawings. Maybe for my birthday or something my parents will get me a good quality scanner, but for now I have to use my camera :/

I don't know why the scanner pictures should be so bad unless it's faulty, but I guess your stuck with the camera then until you can replace it. Does the camera have a "Macro" setting? That's designed to shift the focus so you can photograph nearby objects. Also try using a Tripod to hold the camera still or sit it on a solid level surface while you take the photo.
Increasing the light on the drawings should improve the picture, photograph them outside in daylight, but not direct sunlight, would probably help.

Very nice pictures!!!

Actually, the camera I have now doesn't have the macro setting, but my other camera that was in my closet does, and I forgot I had that one. Tomorrow I will take pictures of the drawings again and replace the old pictures with the new ones.


~Kristy

I just replaced the old pictures with better quality pictures.

~Kristy

Much better!
