This is the kind of drawings I’ve been working on lately. Either word-heavy or very scenic, drawn in pen on paper and then scanned in and colored.
This is the first time I’ve really worked digitally — at least since 6th grade, when I spent a summer drawing in ClarisWorks in my basement — and I’m still not sure what I’m doing with it. I still get to physically draw, but then I can make many more — and cheaper — color experiments.
So I’m not painting. But at the same time, I’m sort of getting to play with paint. It costs a LOT to experiment with oil paints, and you have to spend money to get the good paints if you’re going to mix color. I’m really enjoying being able to hone color on the cheap.
Right now I think my next step will be to choose a drawing and work it into a painting. It would be interesting to interpret a very digital look into a very ancient, much more beautiful, veneer of paint.
