Scanner Suggestions?

Sun Aug 23, 2009, 7:30 PM
Hi friends :)

I'm hoping those of you who scan your art (and preferably use colored pencils, markers, and the like) can maybe suggest what scanners you use. I've just had it with mine, it's pretty old, and its software won't work with Vista so I use very primitive scanning software I can't really adjust anything with. And even using Photoshop to make the colors more true won't help, most colors are so light it can't even grab those and make them darker.

So what do you use? I'm hoping to get this as a birthday gift but still don't want to break the bank with a high price. I'd prefer one that just grabs the image and I don't have to tweak it too much. I want what I see to be what I get ^^

Thanks everyone!!!

Can't Get Enough

Journal Entry: Wed Jun 17, 2009, 2:51 PM


Well what's been going on...
As I mentioned last entry I graduated mid-May. Now a MONTH later I'm still sitting around :P I got mono a few weeks ago and am just starting to get over it. I have no idea where I got it, I haven't been around people much lately, so I must have gotten it at graduation or just before school ended. It's sucked. I've been hanging out at home a lot, but at least that's given me some time to do a little bit of art, watch movies, read, and play video games :) I'll need to start looking for a job again soon.
So as you may have noticed I've really started to get into acrylic landscapes. I never saw myself going in this direction, I mean fantasy people is a complete opposite of what I'm into now. But I'm really enjoying doing them. I'm trying to get better :D

Added later:
An update on my life! I graduated from the University of Colorado at Denver last week with a business management degree. I'm starting to look for jobs but am enjoying just taking each day as it comes ^^ Embarrassing story...my first interview call turned out to be from a fakey sales company...cool huh? College education and I can't trust my instincts and figure it's a scam on Craigslist. Oh well :)
Things have been going pretty well, as you may have noticed I'm starting to paint with acrylics so am feeling rejuvenated in that aspect. I'd like to get away for a vacation but am having trouble finding someone to go with me :)
Otherwise...just loving life and always trying to see the best in everything :)

Gosh it's time for a new journal!
Things have been going very well...it's been a whole semester since my last update, and many things have changed.
I am seeing a new boy, have only a semester left of school, and am losing my job because my store is closing. That is bittersweet, I will miss the work but am a little tired of it anyway :) Overall I am very happy and enjoying how things are going! Been doing a lot of drawing lately as my boy is an artist as well, and is very helpful/critical/inspiring.

Is there anybody gon' ta listen to my story...all about a girl who came to stay. She's the kind of girl you love so much it makes you sorry, still you don't regret a single day...

A girl...

Girl...

Having a hard time lately. I broke up with my boyfriend of 3+ years so not doing so well on that front. Work and school have been taking up most of my time and I haven't had TOO much time for art or hobbies...:( My poor guitar and DS are so neglected...
My birthday is coming up on Saturday and I'm excited, I think it will be a fun day, it will just be a little different without Tony around I think. I'm probably going to go to an early dinner with my family at a nice restaurant and then go to Denver with my friends. It should be fun.
