I really admire how many people use tablets so perfectly, because I always felt really strange drawing with one! It's so different from actual traditional media.
I can't really say what I like best, but a mixture of both would probably be my preference. Traditional media provides really nice textures which could be very difficult to replicate in digital.
As for feeling strange with the tablet.. I don't think it's that much different from traditional besides the texture of course, you just need to get used to it.. spend a couple of hours a day experimenting with it and you'll soon be able to control it like you would traditional mark making tools.
Great work, this looks really good!
ReplyDeleteAlso kind of makes you wish that summer isn't over :)
I really like how you did the rays coming through the sea surface
incredible!

ReplyDeleteMoira> yeah but I don't like summer when its THIS hot though!:) Regarding the rays, I normally keep the painting a bit dark and light it up as I go.
ReplyDeleteAdrian Gauci> Thanks. Digital is a medium and just like every medium, one needs to get used to it.
... oh Adrian, I prefer traditional media more sometimes. but this is of course personal preference.
