/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I'm actually inclined to agree with you here.

Digital and traditional are apples and oranges. You can learn the fundamentals on either platform, but being good in one is not going to make you good at the other. I'm pretty good with traditional media. When I try to use my tablet, it looks like I let a five year old with seizures take over. Similarly, I know many digital artists whose work in traditional media is just sloppy or simple compared to their usual stuff.

You're going to have to practice with both if you want to be good with both. If you're going to be a digital artist, focus on learning using digital media.

Bananas are superior to either of them

The reason I don't think anyone should begin in Photoshop is because of how many tools and crutches are available to the beginner.

Start with charcoal on newsprint and that will discipline you not to be sloppy with the knowledge that you can fix anything at any time. It's also in black and white, so it will specifically teach you value. Most digital beginners don't know anything and don't even know what value is, much less how critical it is to get right. Beginners think colors matter, but they don't until you have at least a decent eye for value, and even then, only if they think about value before deciding colors to lay down.

I on the other hand could never have learned to draw digitally. Not really with pencil either.

Drawing in ink helped me. Its the permanence along with cost of supplies that forced me to be conscious of every line and its context.

Digitally I just lose focus. Traditional helps me focus. Simple as that.

Fuck you. I work both traditionally and digitally. I do my paintings digitally and most of my sketches are done traditionally.

WTF I didnt even fully read your first post I am sorry. I am a piece of shit. I agree with you.

Fact:


there is no computer in the world which is able to faithfully simulate the amount of information contained in a single brushstroke.

Digital art = listening to a recording
Traditional = actually going to a concert

Fact:

Traditional art = Get pussy
Digital art = Be a pussy

To be honest, working with traditional tools is just more fun and enjoyable for me.

>tfw I don't really like going to concerts, and usually prefer the studio versions of songs.

I-I-I'm I going to m-make it?

>>2941796
uh... yeah i agree. is this an argument? did you read my post?

>>2941813
you seem lonely.

>>2941757
blog???

>>2941757
No one said you can't be efficiently studying in both traditional or digital.

I said absolute beginners shouldn't learn how to draw in digital, because it's conducive to developing bad habits and general misguidance.

Is this samefagging a meme?

>>2941755
Yep... as soon as you can't simply move the eyes higher with the laso tool or do fancy shit by liquifying everything - you learn how to measure.

That's a great thing about traditional - you have only so many chances and work slower and more careful.

of course the faggot is going to side with bananas

I can kick the ass of any banana loving carpet store mother fuckers

>>2941782
Depends on the quality of your setup. Obviously with any consumer setup they'll be worlds apart though.

>>2941768
But they don't have the internet there

>>2941347
Please, banana safely.

Got my first tablet today and this feels like I'm drawing with my mouse.

Whatever line I end up drawing looks like uneven scribble shit. Am I doing this wrong or does it simply take time to get used to this shit?

>>2945843
You probably got a small tablet because you fell for the 'beginner tablet' meme. LMAOing @ ur life desu.

Just fucking do both goddamn.

Since this is somewhat relevant to this thread, I'll ask
Am I the only one noticing major improvements when switching between the two?

Like if I'm having a terrible day drawing on tablet switching to traditional suddenly feels great and my drawings come out better, and vise-versa. I don't know what it is.

>>2946712

Daddy dj please take me to the party

Or just take a fucking photo of your drawing, you can shit on traditional as much as you want but digital lineart will always be inferior, lifeless, and sterile.
