RE: Pencils and Scanners and Daves... Oh My!

in #comics7 years ago

Thanks so much and right back at you! Some very nice pieces on your blog, glad you’re here on Steem!

I usually go mechanical pencil so I don’t get that nice faint burning wood scent of a sharpened pencil... but I’ll get by! Digital will still rule the realm of coloring, lettering, and even preliminary layouts for me. But for the actual nitty gritty drawing I’m going back to basics!

You're Welcome and Thanks again. I'm really digging the Steemit community and this block-chain platform. There's some great talent here.
Always a pleasure engaging with other artists, it's valuable to all of us.
Going to invest into a new digital-art pad soon. Really want a 21", any suggestions?

No good suggestions for you. Years ago I splurged on a 24” Cintiq but it recently bit the dust. I am very satisfied with the iPad Pro, but that’s obviously a much smaller device. But that’s what I’ll keep using for the digital parts of my work. The stylus feel and accuracy is superior to the Cintiq model I had. But between the two the “body physics” (I guess you could call it), of drawing is like the difference between a sketchbook and a drafting table.

I'm hearing from other artists as well, the iPad Pro is the way to go. I'm selfish and want more area to draw on. Lol. Thanks for the advice!
