To the people who happen upon my blog, or have been following my daily posts and/or know me/my work, I wanted to ask: how does my digital work compare to my natural media work? I barely see any difference. And has my own pencil stroke/linework changed in 10 years?I don't know if many of you can tell I'm working on Painter or Photoshop much of the time, but below is a pencil sketch I did 10 years ago for a poster I wanted to do, and there was much reworking and gnashing of teeth to get to the final layout (although the big girl in the background was a quick (and admittedly lopsided in the eyes) study, so don't count her. And forget the late 90s fashions too. Heh.
Here's a larger version for detail:
And if you look at The Wasp croquis below, that was done entirely in Painter. Although the poses are still very similar...
Well it's kind of hard to tell from just the one pencil sketch provided, but I think your digital sketches tend to be just slightly softer and looser. The line work on the pencil sketch seems a little more hard edged and deliberate. More tight. I prefer the looseness and fluidity of your digital work.
