How many of you still draw traditionally/on paper?

I have a tablet, but I was never able to get into using it properly; it just felt so awkward for me to draw something and for it to appear somewhere else entirely. I find drawing on paper so much easier.

 

I still draw on paper more than with my tablet, mostly because I always have access to it. I doodle a lot in school, and I find it easier to use. I am getting the hang of digital drawing, but I have a ton of sketches. Most of my digital drawings are things that I share, where my traditional are just for fun. I don't think I'll ever really stop.

 

Drawing on paper is my main forte. I don't have any worthwhile drawing apps and I'm just more coordinated with my hand.

Maybe one day I'd like to try digital, but that's way off. Traditional is the way to go for now.

 

I sometimes like to draw in my sketchbook whenever I'm away from my computer. I'm more known for my digital art, but I can draw traditionally just as well. ...Even though my hands get stained in ink and pencil afterwards. ^-^;

 

It's honestly all I do. I'm currently working on something now. One lucky friend here is in for a surprise

 

I draw my bigger pictures with color and such on my tablet, it's not a tablet that connects to my comuter, but is an android iPad. This is nice since it has most of the same feel as paper, with the perks of computer drawing. I still have sevral sketchbooks where I will try out ideas, or that I'll use in times that I don't have battery, or I don't want to focus on it too much. Beyond that I survive my classes by having paper to doodle on, and I recently scanned in a bunch of old pages and it was interesting to see the very random and silly things that appear. like a steamroller with eyes, and faintly sketched onto the front wheel is a flattened person. No idea why.

 

I sometimes draw traditionally. Most of my work is done on the computer though.

 

All my drawings start on paper.
I also don't use a tablet when making them digital because I prefer using a mouse or my laptop track pad because I do vector work and it's easier for me to not use a tablet.

I did participate in inktober last year though so they were all ink and paper!

 

Like AeroHail, all my works start on paper. I always scan them onto the computer where I redraw them digitally. At the same time, I finish up the traditional version of the drawing, thus improving my skill with both mediums~

 

I'm 100% traditional, as I lack any tools to do digital art. I've always seen advantages to traditional, like the ability to draw away from a computer or having no complex tools.

I'm really close to making the leap to digital, but I'm still looking for a decent tablet. Why are they all so expensive....

 

I always draw traditionally in paper. I've tried and failed to draw digitally. I don't have the necessary tools, and it's difficult to do with a finger or a mouse.

I've always drawn on paper, especially since I can do it at school and such. And l have much more control than I would if I was on my computer or something.

 

I tend to doodle / sketch on paper/journals when i feel like there is a problem with drawing digitally. it is a little bit hard when you have projects and getting motivated sometimes is hard so a sketch journal is just nice.

My art is mainly digital and i do not scan due to not wishing to have a huge scanner/printer.

 

I mostly draw digital, but I carry around sketchbooks that always seem to fill up fast! I like sketching with paper and pencil before taking it to the computer. I'm bad with anatomy and can usually spot and fix the mistakes easily on a drawing program. My original paper sketches will hopefully never see the light of day.

 

I draw on paper, never did it on tablet and probably will be messy, real is better

 

I focus heavily on digital art but I find at times that I run out of steam I suppose? It's odd to try and explain, but some days I struggle to get anything that looks good digitally, but traditional art works out. There's a much different feel to drawing with a pencil that I find refreshing.

Doodling definitely comes into play, plenty of time for that at work haha!

 

While I still draw initial sketches and outline drafts on paper, these days, I scan those paper outlines and then add the final outlines (which differ slightly from the paper sketches) and color digitally (via GIMP).

 

I do mainly in school when I can't pull out my computer and I really like what I create on paper. I can never seem to get the same look on digital when I try. I don't know if it is the lines I make, I use pen so it isn't as smooth, or because I just dont have stable hands.

 

I draw traditionally, because I don't have a computer, and I feel more comfortable drawing on paper. With paper, I don't have to worry about my hand suddenly slipping and cause I GIANT line to go halfway across the paper (yes I'm talking about you, computer at school). I don't have a tablet, though I've been seeing ones with a little stylus included (and how it works idk). But like how Wolfey said, they're all so expensive...

 

I mainly draw traditionally, but I've drawn digitally a couple of times (on Photoshop Touch so the lines are just never smooth).

When drawing traditionally, the lines are usually smoother and easier to draw than when I'm drawing digitally. And also, chicken scratching is fine and looks okay when drawing traditionally, but digitally it looks like a mess. I just get the feeling that when drawing digitally, I have to be able to draw in clean strokes or at least retrace it later on. But of course, traditional has some downs as well; the pictures smudge a lot when I draw with pencil and colouring never looks quite as good as it could be in digital (at least if I'm the one colouring).

What I like about digital is that you can separate things with layers *squeals in glee*. Layers are just really handy to have- that way, you can fix things separately and not ruin anything like backgrounds, surrounding objects and such. The last time I drew, I'm sure I had more than 10 layers, ha ha.

I do want to get better at digital, though. That way, it won't hurt anyone's eyes when they see any of my drawings!
