  • what scanner for digital art…

    Posted by Kolade Balogun on August 4, 2006 at 8:26 pm

    Hello guyz,

    I am faced with this plight and will want you guyz to please help me out.

    I’d like to buy a wacom tablet for my photoshop and illustrator programme but I cant buy the wacom tablet now becuase it’s bloody too expensive for my present budget.

    Now, this is want I intend doing…I intend buying a scanner to scan my illustrations which I will draw on A4 sheets. I guess this is stupid because I should expect the best on ‘line-art’ thru’ this medium but I can manage this process for now…besides, my works dont demand too much.

    I’ll be glad if you guyz can kindly tell me what to search for in a scanner for this purpose.

    Regards,
    ‘kk’

    PS: I’ll be glad if anyone can help me with some tips to achieve wonderful results with this process…

    For your basic needs… just get a scanner capable of 300 ppi (which shoul be any sold on market)

    Keep in mind.. graphires only run $99 US
