Do you remember when you switched to digital? How long ago? The reasons why? My digital sketches are so much cleaner. I picked up a leather bound sketchbook and some supplies. An electric eraser off of Amazon. Some blending stumps. But I think digital is where it's at. I haven't drawn with an actual pencil in probably a decade. My current tools include a Cintiq Pro 32 (which is my wifes) a Cintiq Companion which I never turn on, my samsung Tablet, my Surface GO (it runs Photoshop and Rebelle 5 Pro pretty well if you stick to a few layers) and my Note 20 plus (phone with stylus). I have boxes of art supplies and a room full of stretcher bars and canvases I'll probably never touch. It's a shame really. People see work now and immediately question your skillset. They immediately say it's AI or stolen, and then when you go see their posts they are slapping pictures into photoshop and drawing over them in layers.....like that's somehow what "real art" has evolved into. So I've been over my social media accounts the past few days, spreading the word that I support ALL art in any form. I support the creative energy that we all have. The ability to cultivate imagination in someone else. The ability to just create. I'm glad that I have followers that understand. So post your work for the simple joy of it being what you love. There's going to be haters and trolls. Ignore them. Block them. But don't let them shut you down. Keep posting DA artists. I love seeing your work.
