Hey guys and gals,
I am about as computer illiterate as one can be in this day and age. I have some awesome sword concept ideas I would really like to share with everyone, but I do not know how I can get them on the forum. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could post some pencil drawings on here? Could I somehow take photos of them with my phone and get them on here? I'm technologically challenged and would appreciate any help that anyone is willing to offer. Thanks.

Hi!
Taking photos of your drawings will definitely work, but the image quality might not be all you desire! Another method is to use a scanner and you can see how in this video i found on youtube.
The bonus with scanning it in is you can save them as a digital copy forever and if you decided to learn to use a CAD program or something similar you could then convert your pencil drawings into precise digital blueprints for the knives!
But that probably goes beyond what your asking here!
Good luck and looking forward to seeing your designs!

I've tried scanning before to no avail, hopefully this helps me out. Thanks for the info.

Sometimes pencil drawings are too light to scan well. When I've had that issue, I've gone over the sketch with a Sharpie to darken the lines then scanned it again. That always seems to do the trick for me.

Thanks #14. When I have the chance I will give it a shot.
