She looks great, even if your scanner decided to be a pain (I am convinced that's their goal in life)

Scanners are hard- they pick up on all the flaws in traditional art T.T Did you sketch it out in a red pencil?

lol yeah i did and then I didn't get it as cleaned up as I wanted.

Blue is usually the colour people pick if sketching in a colour cause photocopy blue disappears when photo copied, and Red is such a dark hue- it translates to black and dark grey in comparison to other colours while most blues appear lighter. See if you can find a photocopy blue to use instead. I think it'd scan nicer Otherwise if you're worried about pencil not erasing, use a harder lead like a 2H. I use a 2H mechanical pencil for my sketches and I've never had problems when erasing it Pressing lightly helps too.

Sadly though, scanners aren't all born equal, and to get a decent scanner for art is $$$ and then you need good photo editing programs. I barely get by with my Canoscan 35 LIDE. IT's LED rather that fluorescent which means less colour loss but it still has mass colour limitations

mm yeah i ran out of the blue ones i normally use and just grabbed a regular red pencil plus i normally scan in greyscale if its not coloured so usually not much of an issue.

I got an Epson and it seems to do alright

thank you for your input!!

With the blue ones, you need to scan them as black and white for it to disappear. I'm not sure if you knew that. I mean, it's cool if you prefer seeing them, but that's the idea of them.
