Hey guys I am novice artists and I wanted to know what scanner should I get. I am trying to get my stuff onto my PC so I can touch it up better and color it but, everything I look up says the prices are in the five hundreds. I don't want to keep taking pictures. Any help is appreciated I work with 11×14.
There's always the option of going to FedEx to use their scanners if the size is too big to scan.

Any library should also have a scanner
If you are photographing your work, then a good set of lights will go a long way. You want the light to be evenly distributed in intensity and uniform in color so you can white balance it later
The only tabloid size scanners that seem to be priced below 500 are Mustek scanners. But if yeah, if you don't have that kind of money, FedEx and your local library are better options. Just make sure you scan then at a decent DPI.
Did you put social media icons on your art?
There are Canon Scanners for ~60 wich will work just fine, why the hell would you spend so much money on a scanner?

All the ones I looked at can't fit 11x14
I'm a traditional-only person and I use the epson perfection v39, it scans very cleanly and is relatively affordable at around $90, would recommend
The scanner itself is quite small so it can't scan oversize work, but comes with built-in software to merge images (photomerge is easier if you have photoshop)
Why not get a smaller affordable scanner,scan a big work in chunks and Photoshop it into the Whole? Works for me...
