Re: Traditional Art - Newbing it up
Greetings; Right now I am using 9x12 which is the standard sketchbook size it comes with the Bristol board. Or you can buy the two clippers with the hard board. The paper is medium tooth, pencils: 4H and 2H that is only because I like to shade with 2H. Erasers: Kneaded, Tuff Stuff, Pencil Eraser and Mars Plastic. This is… -

Traditional Art - Newbing it up
No idea why I chose that title, but it seemed apt. Hello! Traditional art isn't something I've been taught over the years, or taught myself at that, but I'd like to start on it. I want to start from the ground up and get myself comfortable with a pencil. Not only do I really want to do this, I require some traditional work… -
Re: Traditional Art - Newbing it up
Hey man, 'traditional' art is a matter of developing a LOT of art fundamentals, and then a bunch of workflow tricks to deal with the nature of analog art materials. Use every medium you can get your hands on (because they make you think differently, and they're fun!) but focus on cheap, quick, easy to use stuff you can…
