First off I would like to say your artwork is damn good! I am new to the forums, and have been browsing the picture threads among other things. Yours really capture the emotions of the subjects, and have sort of a "soft" feeling to them, despite the pain the subject might be going through. And Carolyn's are very good as well. I hope to see more.

Now, on to business. If you still haven't gotten a scanner, I highly reccomend the "Epson Perfection 4810 Photo" scanner. It's about $200, but well worth the cost. It's high-end consumer and low-end professional. For your needs I think it would be perfect. We have one in my office, and our graphics designer has used it for hand drawn art similar to yours, and the detail is very impressive.

Hope that helps. M

EDIT: I just realized that it only takes an A4. Sorry.
