progCan any of my fellow Mac lusers out there recommend a scanner for me?
I am of the mind that I won't get back into cartooning until I can create roughs by actually dragging real graphite across dumb paper, as scoffingly TwenCen as that is. The digital revolution has left me behind. Though I'm willing to try digital inking. It's the inking and finishing that makes me really impatient and frustated when I work with 100 percent physical media. My best work took hours and hours to finish, a little ridiculous for line art, especially when it's based on 15-minute roughs. But 100 digital doesn't seem the right way either; I have yet to really like what I end up with when I try drawing my roughs on a blank screen. The whole hand/eye displacement thing... eh.
I already have a nice laser printer, so no combo-deals are necessary.

Date: 2004-06-12 09:25 pm (UTC)As far as digital inking goes -- I tried some digital inking recently and unless you're REALLY comfortable with a spline tool digital inking seems to take a lot more time an effort than hand-inking.
