A True Artist

[Werewulf]

Which is more useful, which is more easy, which is more insperational..
which..
is better..



Digital(using machines or computers as a resource or tool to create an artwork)
traditional(using the way of pencil,paper,canvas,paints etc.)

 

[refl3ction]

hmm... for me i have no technical artistic abilitys beyond simple colorings/croppings/etc...

so yea id go for an origonal freehand drawings

 

[Undead_Lives]

I'd say traditional as well, it takes skill to "smudge" with a brush, but in a program you have a tool.

If I draw... I just draw with a pencil.

 

[Werewulf]

lol, fladian.

anyway the use of digital graphics is great for sigs and site templates but hard to sell or get framed in a gallery.
but well, vise versa with traditional art.

 

[Fladian]

*looks at all signatures he's made*
They are all made with Paint and Word.

Well, I'm not really an artist. I write, not draw.

Depends on what youd lke to do...

Traditional could be anything, but digital you coulda want to do if you want to bedazzle people in making a piece of detailed work look real...

Like at this site... http://www.hydropix.com/Gallery/albums/the...ropix-hires.jpg

Real picture of a guy? Wrong... Character Model a guy made for Driver 4... amazing

 

[Werewulf]

yes, amazing, but when painting, it takes skill of judging the lighting, colours, tone, shape, etc.. while 3dmodel makers allow the program to do it for them. but i do admit, its still amazing.

To say the least, its not always like the program does it for them, they use tablets and use a pen to draw alot of stuff out, my friend has one and draws on the computer and makes stuff that is truely amazing... i mean its not like stick head here, eyeball there, it takes alotof time for 3D, which i dont weant to argue, but i think takes way moe than traditional...

My friend can draw great ANIME with mouse and paint.. an amazin picture in like 40minutes,,, thats in paint thought...

I know. That was what I was referring to.

I prefer traditinal. Much more detail friendly(ecsept charcoal)

 

[P!nS]

In my opinion, an true artist is someone without limits. I mean, not a drawer, a musician, or a writer, no an artist is the creator of an atmospher, he might use writing, drawing, music, but also every of these technics.

About the digital, for me it is a tool, and don't influe on the true skills. It is for people, like me, who are obsessed by the result and don't care the technics used or anything. And usually, someone who draws great things one computer have also serious paper skills...
