One of the last pictures I uploaded to Deviantart that was colored in pencil, because w/ my crappy scanner pencil just looks like crap :( Does anyone know a way to upload pics that were done w/ colored pencil? Recently I've colored in photoshop which still looks good, but I like variety. Anyways...this is an older one, I still like it though :D To this day I can't draw another picture of L. It always looks like Near instead. http://sworddemon.deviantart.com/art/L-58398844
Hmm...I see why you would be frustrated with it. Actually, in some ways, this actually works out. It gives the picture a very unique feel, a kind of 'looking through a security camera', with some areas fuzzy, and some clear...all things considered, very good. I'm sorry to say I don't have a solution to the colored pencil thing, at least in terms of scanners. I have found it works better if you use a digital camera, and zoom in on it from far away. That helped me a lot when I needed to upload some thumbnail sketches that wouldn't show up very well on my scanner.
