Description Okay, so is there any way to get a deeper shaded version of this onto my laptop? I tried using my scanner and my phone, and neither show how it's actually shaded. The scanner (that did this picture) made it look very washed out, and erased a lot of the shading. The camera made it too dark and saturated and also made it look very grainy. 

Any input would be very much appreciated.


Another piece I found in my sketchbook. 

The shading is WAY more complex and richer than this crappy picture above.

I don't know how I missed this, but your shading (even without this depth you say is missing) looks incredibly soft and delicate!

What I suggest is Photoshop CS6's "auto tone." Or er maybe it has another name? I use it for my traditional pieces and it's amazing--all I need to do is auto tone and then it's perfect. If you don't have PSCS6 I would gladly run something of yours through it if you need.

Thank you so much!

Sadly, I lost photoshop with the death of my old laptop haha, but I'll look into it

Oh really? That would be awesome, at least just to see what it does once. 

I'm working on something now that should be done in a few days.

I could try and adjust the levels in Photoshop if that'll help? :0  I'd need another copy of this pic though because of the watermark.

This is amazing work. I have no idea how to help with your problem, though.

Thank you  

I managed to get the shading to show up a bit better in a new file I uploaded, so that helped it a little.
