Photo guide
A good picture of the artwork makes a better design. Here is how to take one.
Use daylight
Place the drawing near a window, away from direct sun. Avoid the flash, which creates glare on shiny paper.
Lay it flat
Smooth the paper on a plain table. Stand directly above it so the edges look straight in the photo.
Fill the frame
Get close enough that the drawing fills most of the picture, but keep all edges in view.
Handwriting and pencil
Faint pencil can be hard to see. Take more than one photo with slightly different light, or use a scan if you can.
Keep the original safe
You never send the paper. Keep it flat and dry and treat it as precious.
