as the story goes

Sat Apr 25, 2009, 6:44 PM
It's a little scary how heavily both my mood and my artistic output seem to depend on the weather. Spring finally hit us over the last couple weeks (actually, today is unseasonably warm, bleh), and zam! Pow! Exponential increase in speed, as well as noticeably more boyant spirits.

Sometimes I think I should take up a nomadic lifestyle and migrate to where the good weather is. If only that were a feasible life choice.

Question: do any of you know of a good tutorial for cleaning up scanned artwork? Particularly inks (fully shaded, not just lineart, obviously). I'm getting a little frustrated (my work all looks so much better in the sketchbook), and I'm kind of Photoshop-backwards. I taught myself, so there are things I can do, but I'm not sure they're the right things. ;)

  • Mood: Stumped
  • Listening to: Silver Lining (Rilo Kiley)
  • Reading: The Ten Cent Plague, by David Hajdu
  • Watching: Due South marathon
  • Eating: spinach rice casserole (apparently I can cook?)
  • Drinking: raspberry iced tea

Don't worry: the crucifixion drawings were a high school thing. It probably won't happen again.
