@Jummit you mean that it comes out messy, or? I’m a pretty messy drawer, so I usually have a bit of cleanup to do.
Which involves playing with levels in Gimp to darken lines & lighten whites, then for persistent messes I add a new layer and set it to ‘overlay’ then draw over with white, leaving the darker important lines untouched.
Anyway not sure this is what you were looking for :>
@rek Yeah, sorry for not being more specific (I don't really know why my results aren't as good so I don't know the unknowns), but I will try to play with the levels and do some touch ups.
I have a feeling that I didn't set the scanner quality as high as it could and that's why I got some artifacts, so that's another thing to check.
Thanks for the tips and inspiration nonetheless, and I'd love to see more details of the process!
