Are there any non-digital artists here?
-
75% of my work is traditionally crafted. I'm currently working to improve my digital skills. There can be a happy union of traditional/digital to be had as well.

I am new to digital and am finding it a challenge to make it not look digital if that makes sense. But I haven't drawn or painted traditional for many years so I am trying to play catch up. I stopped painting because having it strung all out with a lil one was bad. Now I just don't want the mess.

It's good to know there are others here! Working traditionally does take longer and make it harder to make changes, but I don't want to start working digitally or I'm afraid I'll get frustrated when I work traditionally... I'm wondering if most illustration clients require digital work, though...

@gimmehummus I love these!!

@Damien-Rambacher These are beautiful...Your style reminds me of the illustrator for Whinnie the Pooh! (The writer was Milne, right? I don't know the illustrator's name, though).

Yes I am trained in traditional media. I still use graphite and Prisma Color pencils. I dabble in collage and then will finish it up in Photoshop.
-
My favorite medium is also pastels! Recently I am doing more digital stuff simply because I'm away from home a lot and I don't have access to my pastels. I also want to be able to work digitaly to be more versatile. But the first (and only for now!) children book I illustrated was done entirely in soft pastels!

I'm purely traditional so far. On here I have used ink and watercolor mainly but I do some acrylic painitng and drawing otherwise.

@amberwingart Hi! Amber, I haven't gone over to the dark side yet.
Still working in acrylics, watercolor, color pencil, graphite, etc. -
It's good to know I'm not the only one here! Do all of you have sketchbooks here?
-
@NoWayMe Ooh, a fellow pastel artist! That's so good to hear that you've done a book in pastels - that's the one concern I've had in sticking with a traditional medium. Do you have a sketchbook here at SVS?

If you go to http://chrisperrydraws.webs.com/ you can see stuff I do with oil pastels... and chickens.
