Sidious Saturday

Sidious_markers

This Darth Sidious scribble was done as a commission for . . . some guy or gal I've never met who may or may not buy this thing off of me!

Inked with Faber-Castell pens and colored with Prismacolor markers on 9x12" 300 Series Smooth Bristol art board.

On a side note, I think something is wrong with my scanner, at least when it comes to scanning color work.  It never scans the way it looks on paper and no amount of fiddling in Photoshop seems to help.  The background on this one is actually a solid red, not the orange you see in the scan.  And the lighter gray seen in the robe color on the scan is much darker in the actual piece.  I played with levels like crazy, but nothing worked the way I wanted it to.

Any help here would be hot.

Did you try using Color Balance or Hue/Saturation in Photoshop? I use that alot when levels won't cut it.

Or even using a photo filter is a dirty way to adjust color.

And then chuck your scanner out the window and get a new one, we've have like 5 because they are like Windows, doomed to fail...
