I've done a few scanner tests lately. I've noticed a trend. I've checked how my images look on several monitors just to be sure, and compared how scanned images look according to my actual sketch paper. I'm pretty sure that the scanner bed is lying and squishing my images horizontally. This was very apparent in the Vostroy-chan sketch as I noticed just how tall and narrow her hat suddenly looked. It's a very subtle difference, but it still grinds me that I'm not getting the same proportions from my drawing into the end result submissions. I'll be avoiding any hand done work until I find a way to remedy this. I hope I'm just being delusional here. I probably am, but I'll test this theory by rescanning a few things on the university's scanner later.

p.s. - my mood isn't actually optimistic. The jourrnal just seems to be stuck with that mood icon. D:<
