I HAVE A SCANNNNNNNER!!



It picks up great subtleties in shading - I think I sold the marker piece I was thinking of testing, so I don't have that to show you, but I scanned in the cover of Minekura's Sugar Coat artbook so you can see:



I scanned that at 300ppi, then shrank it down for Web display. Here's an actual-pixel-size chunk of the scan. You can see the dots laid down by the printer as the book was printed, but they're fairly unobtrusive.



Wheeeeeeeeee!

Well if that is all it takes to get excited about it sure. Do you know what kind of unicorn you are going to draw yet?

I've got a book called The Art of ANimal Drawing and I'll be, er, referencing it pretty closely. :) (No, I won't trace, but I expect I'll be looking quite closely at its poses) I ahve yet to decide if I want to do a fiery, rearing unicorn or a sweet knock-kneed unicorn colt.

Sorry I wasn't so specific. Are you going for a more exotic traces of deer/cat looking unicorn or the horse with a horn variety? Lion tail or horse mane? Cloven hooves?

If I do anything other than Horse with a Horn, it requires design, which requires time and I want to get it done ASAP. :) I'll deal with cosmetic stuff like the tail and hooves as I get there.
