You can get a digital camera, take a picture and upload it, or if you have a scanner you can scan it.

Hmm, I can't find my camera, And other way?

I'm guessing you don't have a scanner, I don't know any other way.

Ah! Well, I don't know... Many something Would pop up.

If your printer has a big flap on top of it with a see through glass thing sortoff than it has a scanner. :<

Though those are actually known as Multi Function Centers.

This generally also requires the appropriate drivers and software.

Are they? I know them as all-in-one printers or three-in-one printers, but that might just be marketing. But if you buy the hardware it already comes with the software and the USB makes things easy.

Camera phone + Email/Internet is a quick way to get things to the computer, but it's not that great a quality.

The Path Tool in GIMP is useful for tracing out an outline if you can't get something from paper to the computer.

I think you need a scanner... or a camera (which sucks btw)...

*opens up scanner* yep, one of these will help... Hey! That's where I left my MWT entry!

You could ask if any of your friends have a scanner you could use, see if there is a building nearby (libary for instance) that you could scan at. Getting a tablet would definately work too.

no scanner or no camera? then you cannot put youre thing in a pc.

dont use your camera that really sucks.... try find a scanner @ friends, @ school or @ a libary


there are alwease some scanners there, and then just mail it to yourself and open it @ home !

Sometimes Officemax has scanners and they will scan it for you.

Often a good camera will do. If you need it for displaying your art, a scanner should be what you need (free scans at schools, libraries and some photo shops as mentioned), but if you want to use the drawing as base for digital colours and lines, a camera's image will be enough.
