You need to get it on the computer(scanner or camera) then you upload it to the main site.

To elaborate a little more...

If you, your family, or a friend owns a scanner, just stick your drawing into the scanner and save it to your computer. If you don't know how to use a scanner, whoever owns one can help you. I'd [i]really[/i] recommend using a scanner, because then the image will be higher quality.

If you don't know anyone who has a scanner, just use a camera. Obviously, one that can upload pictures onto a computer, such as a digital camera, cell phone camera, or webcam. If you only have disposable cameras, then get the pictures on disc when you have your film developed.

Webcams and cell phone cameras are discouraged, though, because the images usually turn out dark and/or grainy. I'd rec a digital camera. Just be sure to take the photo in a very well-lit room so the image isn't dark.

Depends on how poweful a scanner you want. You can find scanner units (or the ever-popular printer-scanner combo units) at just about any retail store, ranging fro mabout $100-200 depending on features.

I've seen some really, really expensive ones, but for the most part, they cost from around $75 to $175, depending on how good it is. You could probably find a cheaper, used one around somewhere, too.

You can get them at pretty much any computer or electronics store. Not sure why I haven't gotten one yet. 8D

edit: Strata beat me. Sad
