I paint on A3 paper, and have to scan in each half seperately, then piece them together and work on the colors so they match, but again its kinda unnecessary hassle. Just get an A3 scanner. 46271 Post 2009-06-28T07:22:36-04:00 1369441 9211 2009-06-28T07:22:54-04:00 i draw on a3 but have to scan on a4 i just fold it in half scan each side rebuild my sketch in PS . Wont work well if you use your drawings as your line work mine are just sketches usually 46271 Post 2009-06-28T09:40:14-04:00 1370251 1486 2009-06-28T09:40:14-04:00 I draw on a4 and scan it with an a4 scanner. I don't draw full pieces anyway, I practice on about 50 pages and scan whatever i'm happy with and throw it all together on photoshop. my method is semi retarded 46271 Post 2009-06-28T13:35:45-04:00 1372691 10606 2009-06-28T13:37:09-04:00
