SVS Virtual Studio FEBRUARY 2023

Lately, I found myself doing traditional art very relaxing and I am painting almost every day!
It's partly because everybody still talks about AI art a lot. Personally, I think AI will never completely replace human-made art, simply because we love the process of creating so much and we are able to recognize the value it brings.
Today I started thinking about creating an actual full-spread illustration with complex composition traditionally. After I went through my craft supplies I realized I have no paper to draw on and spent an awful lot of money on paper, brushes, and paints...
But I do not regret it!

@mag I love this!! It's so adorable, I can't wait to see more of your traditional work. I couldn't agree more about making more things traditionally especially in the face of AI.
-
@mag this is so cute! I've been on a traditional kick lately too. It's been months since I drew anything on my iPad -- I've only been using it to do color studies. It's so fun to go back to your roots!

Hi @mag, looks amazing!! I recently started making a lot more traditional art, too. I find it significantly more relaxing than making art digitally for some reason.
Admittedly, I find myself double tapping the paper hoping to undo a mark!

Friday fan art! Hopefully the Disney lawyers don’t see this! I promise, it’s not for sale!!!!

@Kristen-Lango Ive been thinking about doing more traditional too lately and if I could replicate my digital style traditionally. I really want to try but my traditional supplies are all sorts of odds and ends left over from school and I'd have to also drop a lot of money on new supplies so I'm a little scared in case things were to turn out badly...

@Jeremy-Ross
me too! -
@Mimi-Simon yeah, supplies are expensive, but I look at it this way: it’s investing in my talent, and a whole lot less expensive (collectively) than going to a movie or out to eat every week. If I wouldn’t blink an eye spending discretionary income on entertainment, discretionary spending on art supplies is even better!

@Kim-Rosenlof thanks

Maybe changing this up?

@mag There is something about traditional art that's hard to replace. Over and over again I've had the experience of really connecting with the illustrations in a picture book, and when I look in the front of the book to see how they were made, it's always traditional! This little character is so well done!

@Asyas_illos I love all the cool pieces you are coming up with
