spit spat, time to chat / Digital drawing vs Traditional Drawing
« on: Mar 22, 2015, 09:37 AM »
Hey guys. Not sure if there is a thread on this already or not, wouldn't be surprised if there was, but I've been playing around with digital drawing using a decent sized intuos and MS. While I'm not terrible at it, actually I think I can be REALLY good if I truly dedicated myself to it, I think the traditional method is still, by far, superior.
I've seen some very nice work being done totally digital, but I think I can do things faster the old fashioned way then scan it. I do like the paper that the digital method saves, and the ease of panel arrangement/placement, quick modifications and other technical aspects of comic creation, but I think I can do a better quality of art with pencil and paper. Drawing everything on the computer (especially the conceptual/creative phase) seems to be a bit tedious to me at times, though I love the potential.
Is this something anyone else has experienced?
I'm leaning toward a mix of the two....specifically creating the actual designs and concepts traditionally then hoping to do the actual comic in a completely digital way.
I learned the traditional way and believe that It's because of that training that has helped me hasten the learning curve that comes with the digital format.
For some reason I still battle with the two....Thoughts? Pros? Cons?
Sorry If this is a dupe topic:)
