Traditional artists, unite!

[lea florens]

I've skimmed through the art shops and a couple of art threads hereabouts...though there seem to be an overwhelming number of digital artists compared to traditional artists. >.<

Do Gaians simply prefer digital art? Are there any active traditional artists here?

Photoshop....I only use photoshop in the post-production stage...minor edits, adjusting colors and contrasts, stuff like that (Levels and color curves are my BEST friends).

Much needed as my usual art paper has a slight bluish hue. =p

I'm more of an inbetween-er. CX
Digital lets me manipulate the lines (I strictly use Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop is more of a tablet's wet dream -- that's how I see it). My tablet is hating on me right now thus I stick with the good ole mouse's click and drag feature.

Regrettably, I don't have a computer to use as a crutch at all times so I use my favorite 3H pencil and sketch away.

Also, I feel that not many traditional artists are being represented because line art is "so passe" -- at least that's how majority of commissioners feel. My art galleries have been ignored on dA and sheezyart since I don't do computer graphics much.

What? Passe? That sucks D:
I've been here a week, but I've to say, I've seen it too...there's a few Gaians that seem to rate digital>>traditional art. >.>

Traditional artists need the love, too~  

[Tentaspy]

I have a tablet, but I honestly have no idea how to use it.
So for now, I'm sticking to traditional art.
I feel that it's best to learn something the original way before moving onto something a little more challenging.
When I can finally settle on a style of drawing, I'll start learning how to make digital art.

I do both, really, but it all started with traditional stuff and I do more of that anyway. I know how to use Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro and a few others. I think Paint Shop Pro took a nosedive when Corel bought it out but that's my opinion. Currently, I'm drawing, knitting, crocheting, sewing, doing calligraphy... etc.

It's the digital age. But I will always prefer traditional art. Mainly cause anyone can make something look good with a program.

I won't know about the anyone bit...I hardly can do digital art, at all. ^^;
Digital art, as traditional art, takes skill too.

Eh, with practice, you can do it. There's TONS of tutorials out there, too... I prefer the traditional, as well.  

[Espamistwalker]

I sometimes use photoshop but i don't have the tablet or what ever it is so it's very hard for me to use it with my mouse so I stick to traditional  

[Kitsune no Gatsu Mei]

I'm an inbetweener myself. I love working with graphite and such, but I use my tablet a bit more. All of my art is pencil sketches that are scanned and made into lineart. I have a whole folder as heavy as a dictionary filled with all of my traditional work. XD  

[Shuuchi]

a pen a pencil an eraser and a piece of white paper. thats all i use and all ill need

although im following the styles of imperial boy sensei im still sticking with traditional art (might use some comp software when my stuff gets bigger) for now, traditional ftw!!!

I tried to do digital art but it took me like 4 days ^^ So I prefer traditional because then I know it looks alright
