The Tablet

Some people do not consider digital art as “real art”. You can’t feel the texture of the paper, thin out the paint just right, or blend with your fingers. Then there’s those who get suspicious and cannot stop thinking:  Is that really drawn, or traced? Was that background a blurred photograph? 

For me, using a tablet is just very practical. It is a great way to get artistic without having to spend a few minutes arranging supplies. You do not have to worry about wasting materials, handling fumes and toxic solvents, or interruptions while your paints are quickly drying out. Getting your hands dirty is fun, too bad it’s inconvenient. 

 

Anyways, I did bother to dig out supplies today. I rediscovered my black canson paper, which I had abandoned after experiencing how ridiculously non-intuitive dark paper could be.

 I love this one! Although I’m unhappy with the mouth. I can’t figure out how to fix it..
