Part one of a multi-part tutorial concerning how to take pictures of your own artwork. As we don't always do traditional art that fits conveniently in a scanner bed and, believe it or not, there are people who don't own reliable scanners, I figured that there should be a resource for those who need to take pictures of their artwork.

I've seen some lovely works marred by poor lighting and uneducated people behind the camera. Hopefully this tutorial will help others as they take pictures of their own work and are able to create clean, presentable images that they can be proud to show.

P.S. I might try and get a printed version made if there is a good interest in it.

Thankye! And thanks for the spotlight too, hopefully people will find it useful.

I just posted the second page and plan on getting the third one up shortly (typing the text at the moment). If there's anything important that I've left out in any of the sections, even after it's all finished, I'm more than willing to go back and revise it to answer those questions and make it more comprehensive.
