A small but useful tip for today: clean you scanned sketch fast and easy.

I am sure that many of you have had problems cleaning a sketch after scanning it. I had these problems myself and tried multiple ways how to make them look presentable in Photoshop. And one day came across this very useful video of how to clean up a scanned sketch. It is super easy and a very fast way to improve a look of your drawing.

Although, it is a great way of making you sketches look fresh, it doesn’t clean a sketch entirely. And my tip for cleaning a sketch is that after I use Layer option, I go to Image -> Adjustments -> Selective Color

After you click on Selective Color -> in a box Colors: choose Whites and reduce percentage of Black as shown in image below. Look at a sketch and decide how much black color do you want to reduce.
