To Draw Digitally or Not to Draw Digitally

I have been given a gift. It is not my gift of drawing or putting brush to paint and creating something from nothing. It is is a gift of a Paper 53 pen. I got the pen for Christmas and just started to delve into it’s many wonders. Let me tell you the pen is both a blessing and a frustration. I have discovered the creative process for digital art is a little frustrating.

Even with stylus in hand the digital canvas does not respond in the same manner as does the normal drawing process. All I can say at this point is I strongly admire all you digital artists out there. I know I will keep on drawing on my tablet and keep on learning but until I get better I will keep on asking myself should I draw digitally or not draw digitally. Oh yeah if anybody know of any good books or tutorials please let me know.

Daily Timeout for Art #28

I went back to my roots for this one. I picked up a pencil and a picture and drew with a simple #2 a picture of a girl. The piece is entitled “Fairy lovely girl” because the girl kind of reminds me of a fantasy drawing of a fairy or a female elf.

Recently I saw some blue pen drawings on Pinterest which fascinated my artistic stirrings. While today’s offering “Blue Vase/Red Flowers” has some aspects of what I saw on Pinterest I added some colored pencil to give it a little contrast.

Today I decided to offer up a simple picture entitled The Butterfly.  The picture is a simple pencil outline filled in with colored pencil. While the piece is very subtle in nature I like the way it turned out.  I have learned over the years that sometimes the less fuss which goes into a piece of art the better the piece turns out.
