First off all, you have ot be a member of FAC to comment.

Register on the FAC website.

Secondly, to scan, you (obviously) need a scanner. You simply lay the drawing on top of the scanner (if it's a flatbed), or run it through the thing (it it's a roller). Once it's on the compy, it should be saved as a file. There should be a "Save as..." option. Pick where you want the file to go, and save it.

Most scanners scan an image far too large to ever be usable on FAC, so you'll have to resize. Bring it down to at LEAST 600x800 pixels. That's the size of a standard screen. That's HUGE, but it should work for all purposes.

Once you're a member, you can upload images to your FAC account.

Also, make sure you save it in a format suitable for web use (gif, jpeg/jpg, or png)
