Arrow How best to scan pencil drawings

I'm trying to scan some pencil drawings/sketches at the moment, but I'm not sure if I'm preping my scanner properly, or whether there's anything I can tweak in photoshop etc to improve it.

I've provided an example of a recent scan. If I remember right this was scanned in a 200dpi and just auto leveled in Photoshop afterwards.



To be honest I don't know how much help I can be given with this. It may just come down to the quality of my scanner and my drawings, but we'll see. I just wondered whether anyone who is used to scanning pencil work like this might have any tips or tried and tested methods to share.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Don't use auto-leveling. Any adjustments you make should be done manually. Also, when you scan disable any color adjustment features that the scanner drivers offer you.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Your scan doesn't look too bad once you do a few tweaks.



This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
