Since I've been on vacation in NYC for the past week or so, I've been doing my best to get plenty of my favorite non work activities in my schedule. This means seeing friends, wandering around one of my favorite cities, and getting lots and lots of sleep. Of course I've managed to get a few drawings in while I've been lounging around, many inspired by various events during my trip.
This time instead of scanning them in on the B&W copier at the office, I took photos of them with my new camera to maintain the color of the moleskin paper. What do you think? Should I stick to the grayscale copies or the more realistic photographs?
the photocopier looks gives your drawings more life, the picture ones don't really have the same charm. Either way they still look good.

I like that the bus drawing was taken with the camera. Makes it kind of retro. :) But I think the rest of them would look better in photos.

I like both. Other than some shadowing on the Dino Party drawing, they look amazingly good for photographs. What light did you shoot them under?

I shot photos of the drawings using the worse lighting possible, but I made up for it by tweaking the variables with Lightroom.
I guess I'll have to keep playing around between grayscale and its original color...
