Okay here's the deal I'm just 17 (16 now, 17 tomorrow) and drew some fan art, I don't really have a scanner so I just got my digi-cam (or should I say phone-cam) and just took a shoot of my fan-art. Now, I have a problem, you see I draw pictures using the standard "pencil-and-paper" and my art simply lacks color... I kinda draw nice, or at least my friends say I draw nice, but I simply can't place a color at my fan art... do help me... I mean I look at other fan-arts and wonder how did they place colors in it... /*take my avie and sig for example */ here's a sample of my work... hope you like it, even if it lacks color.... /* do give a comment, (except no color of course ) */

Well, without a scanner, I'm afraid you're limited to traditional media like markers, crayons, colored pencils, or paint. Most of the fan art you see here is either created completely digital (such as with a tablet) or drawn by hand then scanned and inked and colored later in a program like Photoshop.
Sorry.

if u got the picture up.. try and take a really good pic of it and import as a layer on photoshop... then trace over it using the tools taht are on there.... works like the scanner really and if you dont have photoshop... try and source a trial or otherwise.... but the GIMP is a good tool thats free (open source software) good alternative pick... the GIMP is a quite bit like photoshop.... i havnt got round to using it much tho (i prefer photoshop atm) i would like to get into the fanarts too but no time atm awesome pic btw ;D and happy birthday btw

I have photoshop ;D .... The only problem I have is well, tracing over curves oooooh tis called vectoring.... dont take it from me, but its a great technique to get nice lines n stuff.... do a google or search DA, they got some tutorials, or even ask some of the kp fanart pro's that live here too ;D or even do photoshop vectoring search, or actually look into using adobe illustrator, thats for vectors primarily i believe flash does it quite well too ;D great link jinxs exactly what im meaning i wish i cld jump in the chat room too, but have to reconfig my wireless network first and i have to go to bed. cyas! ;D

There are a ton of tutorials on DA, that's how most of us learnt how to do it Anywho...: Dunno if I'll bother cell-shading...but it'd definitely make the image cooler.
