RE: Why Won't This Paper Pinch Zoom? Going Back to Basics...
I've just got into drawing and I find it easier with paper and pencil as I don't want to be distracted by technology. I don't have a drawing tablet anyway. I can see that each has advantages
I used to hate digital drawing, but I am way past that and now have some tools I have eyed or drawing specifically. However when I see physical art versus digital, I just have some mental block on still considering the ease of erasing as well as the ability to use layers is "cheating" in some way, yet I use Gimp and Photoshop all the time and do digital manipulation literally daily, so I recognize it is my own block and based on nothing more than probably jealousy that digital tools were not available when I was learning to draw. So it's funny you say you find it easier with the paper and pencil, I see it as the exact opposite, yet we both have not jumped in lol.
Definitely. I liken it to George Lucas & Star Wars. The better his access to technology got... the worse the movies got! Limitations can drive creativity.
And of course traditional media isn’t limited in every way. While digital may have layers, undos, and amazing tools, every stylus and software brush tool is always striving to match the capabilities of the natural tools they intend to replicate.
