Dumb question

[sevastra]

So, I drew up a black and white of Bane from batman for my nephew for xmas, but its too small , apparently i didn't think about size. But, my question is, is there a way to either scan what i drew, and print it out larger so i can transfer line art? Computer paper only prints in the standard paper size.... I don't want to have to draw it all over again

Scan it, save it, and download the free program posterazor. Posterazor can resize , I use it all the time, you can make it multiple sheets , it will loose some clarity as it resizes, but for a line drawing it will be great for transferring to a new piece.

If in the future, you have something small and want to enlarge it without loss, Inkscape is a vector based drawing application, I use it all the time.


Here is a link the inkscape site. It's free.
Inkscape. Draw Freely.

Here is a tutorial for using the Bezier tool to trace shapes you want to enlarge.

Here is one with a little more advanced features.

Still trying to figure out Inkscape. It is a great at tool . But the same can be said about my plotter software. So many things to learn so little time. And I need to paint more too.

The basics with tracing shapes to create stencils isn't bad. There are some advanced functions though, it can get pretty involved.

I have used that feature, just forgot about it, I have to save some YouTube vid links or ill never remember how each time I need it.

oh, that's great. I have never heard of this stuff before. I was assuming the answer would be to go to staples or something and print them out on bigger paper...these options are better! Thanks again!

ummm. look for a verified version that is listed as working with win 8. Stay away from developer versions unless you want to do a lot of debugging.
