What ink is good to draw pictures that will be scanned into computer?
Hey people,
I tried using a normal ink pen to draw. I scanned the image into the computer and tried to color it. I used the magic wand in photostudio to catch the part I want to color but it couldn’t catch the part because there are still gaps in between the inks I guess it is not thick enough. Would appreciate any advice given by any experts. Thanks a lot.
Your problem isn’t the ink, I think it is the tool, the technique and a bit of cheating in the computer.
For the tool, the marker could be your solution but in my opinion you must make it bigger so it could finner. But in this you could have some troubles with the scanning. You could use also a fine (watercolor, oriental callygraphy) brush and try to ink with them and some india ink. I take some waterink medium pointed markers and feel it with india ink, then paint with them. They make a clean, straight and complete lines, and saving the ink spreading of the marker and the brush.
The technique: you must make the lines full, touching each one, so there couldn’t been gaps. Try making the draw a little bigger so you could perceive the gaps.
The computer retouch: try to scann the image and then look closer to the lines so you could detect the gaps. Some times the gaps are so small you could close them with a simple pc tool in your favourtie drawing program, but if you need it to be consistent with the lines, try elongating them with a clone tool or cuting pasting.
