Unfortunately, the images in this "gallery" are not 100% true representations of the actual drawings. The pictures were all taken with a friend's Nikon brand "Coolpix 900" Digital Cameral. From my limited experience, digital cameras are not all that great yet. Therefore, all the images in this gallery had to have a little digital surgery applied to them.

Each image had to be cropped and some even had to have their skew changed (mostly to make up for the fact that I didn't use a tripod). I've tried both taking the "pictures" inside under controlled lighting and outside either in the early morning or on cloudy days (to negate the glare of the sun on the white paper). Nevertheless all of the images still had to have their color corrected with Adobe Photoshop in order to try to best match the coloration of the original drawings. Sometimes I had to settle with just trying to get the color somewhat close. Plus, each image was then down sampled in order to try to make them download in a reasonable amount of time. This reduces the number of colors that the computer displays for the image causing the image to lose subtle gradations in colors.

Don't worry, I won't even get started about the differences of seeing light reflecting off a surface (paper) versus light transmitting through a surface (your monitor!).
