Traditional vs Digital
Manage episode 382309881 series 3526444
Which is better, traditional analogue art or digital art? That’s the question Sarah, Ping and Dorien are here to discuss. Find out the advantages and disadvantages of both, which kind of projects suit one over the other, and as always there will be helpful tips from the trio for those who make their art digitally and those who prefer to make it traditionally.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Sarah works traditionally but uses digital tools to make corrections if she gets feedback from the publisher. This is easier because it means she doesn’t need to go back to her original artwork and scan it in again.
- Dorien also likes to work traditionally but uses digital colour correction on her artwork. Some of her projects are completely digital if it is more suited to the type of project or the time constraints.
- Ping mainly does traditional art using watercolour, this gives her botanical art a more organic feel which adds to the piece. She doesn't think that digital art can replicate this.
- When speaking to a publisher, you need to make sure they know the way you work. They can often expect changes very quickly but don’t realise that those few changes could be a week's work.
- You can always learn to add digital aspects to your work if you start out traditionally, but if you start as a digital artist, you might not learn the skills that a traditional artist would.
