Keiphus Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 You need a lightbox. Just get a simple light and rig it to a box with a clear plastic top on it. Voila, home made light box. I suggest setting up a digital camera with a tripod and taking pictures of your images. Scans can vary depending on where you place them, and it's just too much trouble. The tripod will ensure that the images are all aligned right, assuming you set them up right when you are prepared to snap them... Hand drawn animation is really fun, I remember doing alot of them last year, along with some fun stop motion lego rigs we did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either you can use the window trick, or you can also scan it, and reprint it out but lighter (brighten it in adobe photoshop or something) and then trace over, adding the details, then scan it in again so the really light printed lines can't be seen. ^^ tenshi-chan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
