Is there any reason for doing non-digital art? Besides making paintings for money laundering.

All of my commissions have been physical paper final art. I have had no luck with digital commissions. I know some artists make the digital commissions thing work and make a good living off it, but I have been doing commissions for 20 years and physical, traditional art is what is what gets me money.

I know this is bait, but I see this question asked often in a serious manner. If you plan to do more realistic stuff or stuff from a certain era it is infinitely easier to get convincing texture. I don’t like being limited to whatever brushpacks I’m using or my software.

i like drawing with pencils traditionally because i like the feeling of shading shit in on paper. you're forced to be more decisive with your markmaking and thus forced to focus more. its also easier to draw because i can take my sketchbook out in the sun and touch grass instead of being chained to my desk in a dark room slaving over a tabelt that gets hot in 20 minutes

Surely there's a way to earn money painting for a rich clientele? Did the rich just stop commissioning paintings? I guess the painter to rich ratio is too competitive.

So you're honestly telling me if I draw horribly with a ballpoint pen instead of a stylus I will make way better art in a fraction of the time? Despite the fact that my digital art is already starting to get decent? This is a serious question. I just want to improve as quickly as possible so I can start having more fun

You should be good at both. Only artlets will argue otherwise. If you're not good at both, you are an artlet.
If you're a trad Chad and you're good at painting traditionally, then digital painting is as simple as it gets. there is a lot of market that becomes available for learning digital. Even if you chose not to work with digital, there's no excuse to suck at it.
If your a digitalfag and you can't make art without using the liquefier tool, transformation tool, mirror image, ctrl-z spam, filters, texture brushes, etc, then you are turbo artlet.

I'm dead serious about this. What if I do digital and just handicap myself by not using any of its tools? I like digital because of the convenience, but if handicapping myself will help me improve faster then I'll do that in a heartbeat

>> No.6201572

>>6201552
Do whatever you want. Start practicing in trad won't magically make you better, nor will neglecting trad make you unable to draw a line straight. Just pay more attention and conscious of your lines and don't abuse trial and error with ctrl-z and you'll be good. Even in trad you can make the same mistake with chicken scratching. Chances are, if someone tell you one single method to do things can make you a ngmi or gmi, they are crabbing retards who would rather shitpost than actually draw.

>> No.6201574

>>6201552
You can just cut the convenience on digital. Try challenges where you dont use layers, you don't use the eraser, you don't use the undo, you don't use transform tools, etc. There's no reason to waste money with traditional art, unless you like doing traditional art explicitly.

Okay, this is what I try to do now. Thank you

>> No.6201668

I strictly only use pen or graphite on paper. Digital requires no effort, and if you make a mistake it’s easy to just hit a button and it disappears. Whereas with a physical copy, you make a mistake and you either give up entirely because the mistake is so bad, or you have to adapt with the mistake in your work. Also I think it’s worthless because you’re basically playing color by number, with the click of a button you can have a whole space filled. With a physical copy you can charge extra by how long you spent on it.

The only reason, and I stress the only real reason I don't do traditional art is because I don't wanna waste materials. It's cheap, and it's great to start out with because of no barriers. Like learning a program, and shortcuts, and if you bought a cheap monitor. There's a bunch of issues with that. In the long term Im going to be switching to digital, might as well buy everything I need so I don't need to at a later point in my life. So I ended up just thinking on you. Pay a big fee up front, and later on it just keeps getting cheaper and cheaper. When I get good enough, the commissions will be the best ROI. (My artwork is not good enough to show, I'm still trying to learn some more stuff) Forgot to mention, if you learn anything trad wise, it transfers. When digital, there's more of a crutch with "Ctrl-Z", and other ones.

Because its an ART form. Not everyone wants to hang a digital display in their home. Not every artist want to create content for media to be consoomed. But thats where the zoomer mind goes first. They think art an immediately think of assets for marvel comics video games and anime.

I just cant get into digital. I don't understand the filters, layers, all the effects, the elaborate process. Ctrl z makes my lines look worse not better on digital. The more I draw in digital the more time I spend overworking something and it just gets worse while in trad I can draw fast and get things done. I also don't like color picking, I prefer to choose from pre-selected colors and let them blend into each other. Trad is a lot more comfortable for me and less time consuming.
