RE: Drawing #9 - Progress of Scrapbook Title Page- Coloring with Copics and Creating Space

in #drawing7 years ago

A part of what you wrote is why I want one of those fancy tablet pen setups so I can just transfer everything to digital and work in that medium. Even though I know I would miss the physical feel of a pen or marker or pencil that just has one color and function that changes depending on how hard I press down, I just don't believe a tablet pen can do this as good. Anyways, that ability to save your drawing as different files as you go as you change things and always being able to go back and adjust. Basically being able to "chronicle" every step of the way on any given drawing or project.

Yeah, that's true. I've played around a bit with photoshop, but it doesn't feel as good as drawing ink on the page. Even though I hate making mistakes, if I could just keep deleting them, I feel like my drawing progress might be hindered because of it. Whenever I make a mistake that I can't reverse, I'm more likely to "internalize" it and remember it for next time to avoid making the same mistake in the future, whereas, if I could easily delete it, then it won't really matter how many mistakes I make as long as I can make "one good stroke". I really love Steemit because every time I post the progression of one of my art pieces, it's a way to chronicle every step. Since it's on blockchain, it will stay there unchanged. I feel like Steemit really suits my strict nature when it comes to precision and preservation.
