I've needed ink for my printer going on about a year now, so I finally got up the motivation to look into it and realized that for 10 dollars more than they wanted for ink for my crappy old printer I could buy a printer/copier/scanner! I've always had to take pictures of stuff but NOT ANY MORE! I've been doodling mindlessly lately with the limited marker colors I have so I figured I could scan those as a test. Behold.
The top one is from life drawing tonight, and the one below is from a little while ago. I'm slow getting the major shapes down and I never get more than a few minutes so I'll never learn how to draw fingers...
I just wanted to see if I could rig up my webcam to serve as a downshooter. This is more of an angle shooter but it's good enough for now. I laid out a backup disk I've got but don't use on my desk and I threw together about an hours worth of drawings straight ahead just to see how it would work. This was immediately gratifying!
