RE: 🎨 The making of spaceships with watercolour | Part I: Space

Amazing detailed world and wonderful use of light. I am obsessed with light in artworks. I hope you scan your work in stages so you can preserve these layers. I think with today's easy to capture world it's good to save it for posterity and to play with in the future. I always think if we could only have the layers of work from the old masters what a treasure that would be.

Thank you @donnadavisart, unfortunatelly I can't scan during the process at the moment. Since the paper is attached on a board, I can't stick it into the scanner. It's an A3 scanner but there's the flange that makes impossible to put it in. And it's one of the models that needs the image to be exactly against the window (other more expensive models don't require it).

It's a bit annoying because there are many cases when I'd like to save at least the inked drawing. Even just in the event I'd just ruin everything when painting :D

My wish is to get a proper camera, lights and stands to be able to Hi. Res. photographies of art that is too big for scanners. Big format scanning in specialised businesses are horribly overpriced (around 40€ as soon as you go over A3), just imagine when I have like 60 of them for a comic for example :D
