Hand Drawn Art!!

TaeMan

Hello everyone. I will start producing my game next month: September 2014. Is there any way that i can import hand drawn art into my game, screenshots, title and everything??

you need something like gimp or inkscape, both are free - or Photoshop. Convert images to .png files and keep the file size small

You can use a scanner or camera to import drawn art into a computer. Once there, you can import the graphics files as .pngs into GameSalad.

I used to set up a tripod and take pictures of my paintings with a digital camera and load into iPhoto and then idraw. worked ok in the right light.

@tatiang how exactly do i import drawn photos from a camera to a computer? And when i do so, how do i convert them to .pngs for GameSalad?? btw i really like the drawing and art in "Get Fiquette"

Cameras have cards that store the pictures. Ie SD card. You will need a card reader that you insert into usb.

Place camera card into card reader.
The card will show up on your desk top. Open and find the picture.
Drag it onto your desk top.

Or

Most cameras come with a cord. This cord will hook into camera and usb on computer.
This will show up on desk top.
Drag picture onto desktop or wherever you want it.
