I have a scanner now!

[N3ptune]

I have a flat bed scanner now instead of taking pictures of sketches with my camera. I've got it for 10$ only (almost for free) and it can do 1200DPI resolution ((: it came with no power supply (I had to improvise something with the parts of 2 old power supply I already had) I also had to disassemble it in order to clean the glass from the inside. The scanner will only work in VirtualBox with Windows XP. 

--> But it's darn good! (: good old hardware back to life!

This is my first test at 600DPI of the Schroter's Valley done a few weeks ago at almost -10 Celcius, it was terribly hard to draw. I want to retry this valley another time to get a better result obviously, It was done partially at 425x power and the other part at 212x, the transparency was quite good on that evening.

There is it.

Now that's what I call improvisation ?

I got a scanner/printer myself for Christmas and they do make life a lot easier.

Good job on the moon sketch, I had a practice sketch the other week and I found it really difficult.

That will make life easier, and give much better results. Nice sketch, I find lunar sketching very difficult!
