Well the hair is similar, too.
I don't know what kind of scanner you have or what software you have for editing pics, but I would reccommend rotating a little bit to make it straighter. I used to have a problem with drawing things crooked, and I would use the "rotate canvas" in Photoshop to straighten it out. Just use a really small angle. Even now I often have to rotate 1-2 degrees, because the scanner will make my pictures slightly crooked.

I have this thing called MGI Photosuite. It's just always been well, there.

Well you might be able to rotate when you scan, I think some scanning softwares allow that, but I don't know what you have.
You can rotate in Paint, but I don't know if there's a custom angle option.
Anyway...if you tend to draw stuff crooked, you could try turning the paper a little when you draw. Maybe guide lines or a grid might help, I'm not sure. I just forced myself to draw straight, and eventually I managed to train myself.
It's not really a big deal, it's just sort of distracting

Hmm, okay. I will. Oh, and one more thing: how do you know what size to resize it when scanning?

Well I guess that depends on how big you want it to be. I always make everything at a height of 700 pixels or less, or if it's a wide pic I do 700 for the width instead. But sometimes I'll go a little bigger if it's a more complex picture and I want to show more detail. But for a simple sketch I usually go smaller. That's just me, though. A lot of people go bigger. I just prefer to keep it so you don't have to scroll too much to see the whole thing.

I see you have GIMP. I don't know anything about that program, but someone said it was similar to Photoshop. So you should be able to use it for resizing and rotating and other alterations. I would think that any art program like that should allow those things, but then I've only ever used Photoshop, so I don't know.

Okay, I'll see. In fact, I haven't even finished downloading GIMP, so I hope it works. The website is confusing, so I hope I clicked the right link.
