Digital Drawing

[loco]

I watched the extras (behind the since) of the Pixar movie Finding Emo and that was one of the things that I guess happen earlier on while making the cartoon/movie. People where making thing so realistic that it (for lack of a better word) has no soul. It all looked so real that it wasn't looking like a cartoon.
I think this is a great topic to debate. A great example of talent and just using the tools as tools. Is the images that Danile Danger puts out. I would have never know that most of his stuff was digital drawing.
As I'm writing I'm thinking about I guess the same thing as digital vs analog, CD's vs Vinyl.
I just wonder if it will come to a point where the human element is suked out and people (the masses)
don't really even care

This is the stuff I just hate. I'm not saying it didn't take some talent to create it. It just has a very un-human element to it. Looks like it was made with a graphic progarm and not by a person

yeah, but if you found out this was done by a human with pen and ink, airbrushes and design markers would you dig it? somethings don't look good regardless of how it was created.

and it is a great topic to debate and has been debated in a lot of different fields of design over the years. people start to see too much of what thing and react by going the opposite direction. too much synth in the music? cut it down to guitar, bass, drum in garage. buildings got too much decoration and frosting on that cake? grab something a little more modern.

cycles. it'll all come and go. every once in a while something new is added to the cycle.

I see flyers made that have the same fonts over and over layouts with no flow or composition.
When I did the local poster awhile back I surprised to see design companies/ad agency put out stuff that either looked rushed or had no desire in it. It really made me wonder what happened. I'm old school
but there's good design and bad design. Kozik himself will tell he's no designer but, he's still pretty badass

One specific use of a tablet/screen, as it applies to printmaking, that co-exists quite nicely with a genuine fleshspace drawing:

COLOR SEPS

Betcha I can sep out a poster faster using the pen tool than anyone out there cutting the equivalent in rubylith (I will say however that I enjoy the hell out of cutting rubylith and would do it on the regs if it weren't relatively expensive).

That's not the point though -- just reiterating the point that it's a tool, and if your work volume and style justifies it, you can achieve indistinguishable results for your seps alone. (Not to mention all the other ways you may find it useful -- screwing with text, manipulating photos, doing superfast color treatments...)

Forgot to mention it's a godsend for trapping. You just can't zoom in on a thin keyline with an exacto knife... though I suppose you could use one o' them articulating spyglass mount dealies like Grandpa Baker's model car setup.
