PAPER or DIGITAL art comparisons and advantages. Many poeple ask me if drawing on paper can help them with digital art later in their career, if they decide to go that way. This week, i was sent the Blackwing Grovemade set of pencils, and I thought I'd talk about my experience with both over my 30 year art career. Of course, there are advantages to both, but the way that I use it, they go hand in hand.
So rest assured that if you start to learn how to draw on paper, you will be able to translate those skills over to digital. Many artists draw on paper and then scan the artwork in and modify it digitally.
