Technical Question

Some of my drawings are done on large paper. Does anyone know a decent way to get them onto my computer? As you can imagine, I'm hesitant to cut or fold them to fit on my scanner.

You can either reduce them on a photocopier and scan that (if they're up to 11" x 17"), or find an oversized scanner. Kinko's or your local equivalent will probably have one, call around to find out. But I think literally every copy shop will have a copier that can handle 11" x 17".

If you're drawing even larger than that, you're going need to learn how to light and photograph your artwork. It's a pain, but aside from scanning pieces of the drawing and digitally re-assembling it, that's how it gets done.

Thanks for the info. Now I just need to find a copy shop closer than 35 miles. lol
