Hi there! Since I was asked several times about scanning and preparing B&W pictures or pages, here you have.

I'm sorry if there's any typo out there ^^U
I intend to do a second tutorial explaining how I apply tones and how to prepare the pages ready for printing, but it will take a while since right now I should be inking my comic XD so whenever it's time to tone, I'll make sure to screencap the process :3

There's A LOT of tutorials out there for cleaning, people, you just have to look for it.
There's sites that go more in depth on tips to clean all the hard stuff.

And.. where is the problem?
If people ask for more tutorials and if the artist decides to spend his/her valuable time doing it, what problem you've?
I don't understand why people like you comes to complain and underestimate things doing to helping other people

I'm just mentioning that if people want to learn more advanced cleaning, they can also find more tutorials online. So sorry if you thought I was insulting the person, though I don't see how I could have...

A lovely submission and very helpful, thank you for contributing! :heart:
I have a weird problem, kinda related, maybe you have come across sth like this : I tried this trick before on my own, with separating blue crayon from black liner with channels and here's what happened: the blue was in all three channels! :faint: I suspect that either the crayon I use is retarded and comprises of traces of various pigments and that's why it shows up, or my scanner is too old and retarded due to that :B Also, it's so weird because the same happens with blue ballpen and trying to separate it from black ballpen U_U even though they both look different to the eye, it's like the blue ink in the ballpen contains red too and whatelse not, so it wouldn't properly channel-split. I tried using conte crayons for this, both red and blue and it all works bad. I know there must be some special pencils for sketchlines, but what are they?? Thanks in advance for any tip on the pencils :)
sorry for ranting on this problem here, I'm probably doing something wrong, any tip would be appreciated ^^;

I think it may be your scanner, you can try adjusting the colors to make them all look cyan-ish before doing the channel thing. That pic I posted in the tuto with the red pencil was more like purple when I scanned it, so I had to adjust to turn it magenta to be catched by red channel.

As for tools, I use blue leads by Faber-Castell, they give a sky-blue/cyan colour that is very easily removed by the scanner (though mine is a bitch sometimes and scans it as dark indigo x____x).
Not sure if this helps ^^;

Oh, it totally does, thank you ^_^ I will try color adjustment before putting it through the channel separation next time and see what happens then :B :heart:
