Leave out all the rest WIP?

Photoshop CS2 with a wacom tablet, but this took AGES and its still very blurred and unrefined. I guess part of it is my frustration cause I hate digital. It's not horrible or anything- just... laboured T.T

Oh yeah, It takes a whole lot of time. The beauty thou is working in layers you can try different thing. I have noticed that a lot of professional illustrators will paint in oil or acrylic and then take it to digital. I bet that saves on the time.

Multimedia makes things nice and fast for me too, but paints are so messy that I sometimes can't be bothered cause of the clean up. I'm not that talented with wet media anyways. I reckon that this will get less annoying as I get better at it, but I don't think I'll ever like it as much as doing the pencil work. I need to develop as an artist though

hey I was wondering how this one is coming along. I'd love to see it.

Not much- I've been OTT sick for the last few weeks. I've been on some heavy drugs that has cleaned me out of everything good and bad. I haven't been able to draw for most of that T.T It's been sooo horrible. I will be back onto it thoguh

Thanks ^^

Keke, no problem.

I'm not saying that I don't like it. It turned out well considering really. I don't like digital colouring though. It's very stressful for me. Maybe I'll like a bit more when I get use to it T.T

It's better for me anyways, but I like things I can physically feel. There's just something impersonal about a tablet that I can't describe to someone that doesn't use both regularly. I love pencil passionately. It does look crap scanned though And reproduced. Otherwise I'd do everything traditionally ^^

yeah I often have that problem to, my scanner always eat half the shading. In my opinion that is the best thing about digital art, the quality stays more or less the same.

Well, this is how I see it-

Traditional media is done with physical media. since its physical media, it should be viewed physically (obviously this can't always be the case)

Digital media is done digitally so should be viewed digitally.

As for prints, I actually don't like prints. They're a good way of capturing talent, but they have not artistic emotion. That's why I passionately seek out original arts- why they cost more. Why I become personally offended if someone barters my prices down. Originals have passion, time and effort. Prints CAN'T capture that. That's how I see it all. I'm a little too romantic, I know, but traditional never translates directly to digital, and the same the other way around. People can make it similar in prints, but it'll never be as glorious as the digital version It's how life is....

Thank you ^^ I'm trying out using non natural colours as well as natural ones. Not sure about them yet, but there's dynamic potential ^^
