• Use a good scanner! Always
use a scanner to transfer your
sketches from paper to your
computer. Never use a digital
camera (this will distort the
image and perspective).
STEp 2
• Open Photoshop and go to
File>Import to find your
scanner.
• Import your scan. If your
sketch is black and white,
import in grayscale.
• Make sure you use a high
enough resolution (150 DPI is
a good standard because it will
look nice in print and on screen,
but not take up too much space
on your computer).
STEp 3
• Rotate the page to the
proper angle, then crop
the page to include only
the image you want.
Quick Tip
Back-sketching: remember you can always re-sketch or “back-sketch” your drawings to make your
portfolio better. One way of doing that is using your original scan as an underlay and sketching over it
in Photoshop or Sketchbook-pro.
