This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

also, does anyone have any advice on scanning color pencil drawings, the colors never seem to match the original
not an expert (not even a novice, just a person who taps) in photography, but i think the problem may be the lighting. I can tell color pencil from other colors because of it's some what metallic luster. The color pencils which are water soluble don't have it, but the oil based ones have it. Usually fix that stuff, you would want to add diffused lighting and removing directional lights, and maybe have longer exposure period in a lower light environment
oh this isn't a photograph, but a scan instead, i tried taking a pic before but my photography skills are abysmal.
Is it not more likely the screen you're viewing on more than the scan itself? By default, screens (with colour mixed from light) tend not to accurately show anything scanned/photographed correctly (with colour made from mixing pigment).
[Edit] P.S. your tone, shading and colour mixing in this picture is exemplary
thank you, I haven't thought about that, you may be right. I'll have to look into that
