Description

This one looks a lot better in real life. I couldn't fit the whole thing on my scanner. Usually I don't really mind... you might miss a little on the sides or top and bottom... but in this case, the picture stretched all the way out to the edges of the paper, and I couldn't find a happy medium.

So I tried to put it all together from four different scans. Of course, for some reason, each scan came through at a different contrast and was a real pain in the butt to get together. I ended up having to mess around with the brightness and contrast quite a bit to get it to all match up. I also had to blend the edges of the scans together in photoshop quite a bit, so the image here isn't a really good representation of the actual drawing.

But it's what I’ve got. I'm ready to call it done and put it away and start working on something else. This thing has frustrated me (the scanning part of it) enough that I can't WAIT to get it online so I don't have to look at it anymore.

Anyway, it's varying degrees of H pencils and a 5B and 8B on an 11x14 bristol board.
