As a traditional and digital artist, I gotta agree that Digital is not the same as doing art traditionally.
I'm totally with you. You just can't compare the feeling you get when drawing the traditional way.
Bro that exactly how I felt
But then I found realism and it changed my perspective
I will always love my pencils
Interesting vid. I've been sort of thinking about this recently. Partially due to reading stuff by Matthew B. Crawford (Shopcraft As Soulcraft), especially his book The World Beyond Your Head he kind of touches on this kind of thing, at least tangentially.
I recently restarted drawing at 53 after having not even thought about since high school. And especially when it comes to drawing I'm definitely with you. There's just something about the immediateness of the way physical materials respond to your actions, respond to YOU--the friction, etc--that just isn't the same in digital. I have experience with digital to compare, I also recently got a drawing pad and Painter to give me a substitute for painting which I'm interested in trying. I'm really interested in doing oils but I really don't have the space or ventilation where I am to do it yet. (Although I might try watercolor, that I could do.) All that being said there are some aspects of digital painting I am warming to, but we'll see...
There's just something about doing it on computer equipment/software that just puts additional, "layers", let's call them, between you and the end product that produces a kind of disembodied experience. Control of the pen, control of your hand, the layer that the pad creates--mine is a separate pad, not a screen you draw on, which makes it even worse; trying to control/predict what the software's going to do, the computer--god forbid it lags, and on and on. There's just something so much more direct about interfacing with materials in reality.
Although, strangely, when it comes to composing music (I'm a composer, which is what my degree was in) I prefer using a computer program to write. Not sure what's up with that....
I'm completely with you. It's funny that you mentioned composing and music - I'm not a composer but I do make music just as a hobby in my spare time. I have a keyboard and guitar but I also find making melodies and things so much easier and straightforward on the computer haha. Being able to easily change the tempo and re-arrange shapes to make a melody - My guess is maybe because I'm a more visual person. That's an interesting thought though, thanks for sharing! :)
I prefer traditional art because of the energy and feel. It does take a different kind of thought process. I like digital art because it makes it easier to practice at any given time. I love the vibrancy… however, the shortcuts takes some of the magic away
Well said! I can agree with both of those.
I'm getting more than you could possibly imagine from listening to your thought processes. I'll be watching and re-watching this Drawing Tutorials and Lessons series. Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words Shannon, much appreciated! :) Glad they are helpful for you. If there's anything you'd like me to specifically cover in future videos, just let me know. I'm always trying to make better content and push my video quality and topics. Hope the art goes well!
@@SchaeferArt thank you and I sure will let you know if something comes to mind. I can't imagine anything right now that you probably haven't covered somewhere in the videos so let me catch up first!
@@ShannonE1821 No worries haha, there's always more to cover for sure
I guess I'm the minority here by saying I prefer drawing digitally. For me I love having as much control over my piece as possible, and digital is a lot more forgiving to me. I started doing traditional art and drawing on paper, and as i transitioned to digital it was like learning to draw all over again. However, my end goal has always been to draw digitally, and I'm thankful it "clicks" with me.
I wholeheartedly agree that whatever you choose to excel at, do it because you love it.
This is my first time watching one of your videos and it is refreshing to hear your thoughts. My background is in calligraphy and I love pen and ink and paper. There's a great shift towards/embracing of digital calligraphy and lettering at the moment. I bought an ipad just to be a part of it but then found myself hating every second of it. We are not all born to embrace the digital way and that's just fine. The good thing is that you tried it and now you know. I started drawing again recently and I can't imagine doing it digitally. I know myself now. Look forward to watching more of your videos. I came here after Alpay Efe mentioned you on one of his.
Thanks for sharing that! It's great to see others who have similar experiences. Glad you discovered what you enjoy most as well. And thanks for watching, much appreciated! Wow, I didn't realize he mentioned me before, do you know which video it was?
@@SchaeferArt went back to my history and realised it was Florent Farges (not Alpay) who mentioned you in his video, 'Back to Art After a Long Break'. 🙈 It comes around 7 mins 10 sec into the video.
Such a beautiful inspiring way to make those adorable little art piece, thank you for your video
I started as a digital artist when I wanted to teach myself comics, now I'm slowly turning to a hybrid because for some reason the computer screen is mad irritating during sketching and primary inking. When I set up compositions and do last minute touches it's cool.
I'm the same. I prefer traditional art too. I doodle on my tablet sometimes, but I love the feeling of traditional art. The sound of the pencil on the paper, the sound and feeling of the paper and watching your art slowly turn from a few lines to an actual piece of art
That is a fabulous point of view…. Almost as good as the puffin 😉
Love your wisdom, and quality content as always! Thanks for this video!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
As a guy from Red Bank that likes digital art over traditional art...
...YOU TAKE THAT BACK, GOOD SIR!!!
Awesome drawing
Hello, SchaeferArt. I have been watching your videos for a while now and want to thank you for the awesome content that you consistently upload.
I am sure that you don't have a lot of free time and I want to help you with that. We are a group of video editors and management and I want to ask you if you need any editing for your videos.

2. You can now focus on other businesses, hobbies, etc...
3. Take the pressure off of your chest, just keep filming, and we will handle the editing!
Let us know if you're interested
Best wishes
I have a similar difficulty, but I'm trying to push through. I love the thought of being able to paint, but I can barely draw. I know it would be good to learn the basics first, but it's always hard to get excited about the grind when you're not producing anything worth looking at. I'm not exactly enjoying the process, but the goal still excites me. Weird place to be
I’m in the same boat as you. I want to be able to draw so that I can write stories since I want to be a writer but it’s hard to get motivated when you can’t translate your ideas onto paper.
Yeah I know what you mean. Just try to focus on small wins and small challenges. Small improvements over time. You can do it :)
Why do you need to be able to draw to become a writer? Just curious.
@@SchaeferArt I really loved hirohiko araki’s art and I also am a big fan of artists like barusai who can just capture the emotion of their stories in their artstyle. Really I just see art as another progression to telling my stories and capturing that emotion. That’s the main reason I want to draw.
I also have thought about doing animation as a career and helping other artists get their art on the big screen.

Do you have any words of advice for drawing proportion wise

Enjoy. Any questions after watching these. Let me know. My basic quick advice, is to keep things simple in the beginning. Basic shapes, squares, rectangles, lines. These are much easier to correct when size or angles are off or wrong, compared to curved, detailed and complex shapes.
@@SchaeferArt That's a lot of "Here"-s lol
@@SchaeferArt Heere at the Wall. Hear oh Israel. Here we go. I can't hear you. Here I am Lord send me. So many heres.
Lol
I love traditional too, and I prefer it to digital art. Could you please tell what kind of pen is your white pen? Thanks
I use 2 different kind of white pens. One is much brighter than the other - but both are useful for different situation.
Brighter one: White Uniball Pens: amzn.to/31ZCc6E
Less bright one: White Gelly Roll Pens: amzn.to/2Y7Y9gf
@@SchaeferArt Thank you Scheafer, for responding. 🌹
I prefer digital because there are less tools to use, but more choices…for example, I can use pastel, acrylic, pencil, oils and markers without the set up or the mess. Also, I have two cats, so I don’t have to worry about leaving out potentially toxic objects for them to get their paws on. I don’t have to worry about storage, purchasing paper, erasers or such. I can do it in my bed, outside during lunch, on the bus, anywhere I get the inspiration. I’m a beginner to both, actually. But I’m doing this for my own pleasure, not for publicity or monetary gain. Plus, I use drawing books to practice sketching on my iPad as well. It’s a win win to me and I’m glad there are more choices.
That's true! Sometimes digital can be so much better. Thanks for sharing those. I'm definitely not against it :)
@@SchaeferArt I say different strokes for different folks. For me, though, it is digital all the way. Also, I don’t run out of colors, out of paint, out of paper. Easier to just erase a mistake or delete a layer. I do have my favorite brushes categorized, but can try anything my heart desires.
This is good & I think I could try this. Thanks
Go for it!
I really appreciate digital art. Like it's something that I wanted to do. But I cannot even draw traditionally so where do I start? That's the reason I started sketching traditionally and recreating it in Photoshop. I don't pressure myself much. I think what will help me to improve is to just enjoy creating something even if it's not good enough for me. Just doing it for the sake of enjoying it and not expecting so much that I will be good at it anytime soon.
Missed You
I'm traditional and will not even try digital as I use computers because I need to and I don't want it invading my love of art lol Oh and the Puffin is our island bird. You can sit at the edge of a cliff and they fly over from a nearby ocean mountain. They walk around and hang out with you. I'm so happy you used this fun bird as your drawing today. Thank you.
Thankyou
Thanks for Sharing.! 👊😎
No problem
What's the best book on drawing landscapes that you found so far?
What kind of landscapes do you want to draw? Just natural stuff or things with cityscapes / buildings? etc.
@@SchaeferArt Honestly I want to be able to do both. There are times when you can have both present simultaneously if you are located in an area that is very close to mountains that also has slightly smaller cityscapes/buildings.
As I see it, my analysis? To those like you that can draw easily----its a gift! I had a classmate in grade 3, he draw superman, batman just like walking
He can draw easily because of years of practice. Yes, some people have a knack for it, but it is a skill with specific techniques that can be learned by anyone willing to put in the time. A lot of people give up because it can take a long time, but to say he can draw easily does not honor the time he put in over years.
12 years ago i drew like everyome draws , but after all these years i got ok-ish , talent ain't shit , it's the work and hours that you put in , talent just helps your drawings pop , like think about picaso or van gogh , they were realy skilled but they use that in their paintings , they used stylization and what and how they are depicting something
Lovely tutorial and lovely Art. Knowing that you prefer non digital art is great and is brave in the the “digital world”. Picasso didn’t have opportunity to use digital and he succeeded.
No doubt, I realized that I just gotta be myself and be honest :)
Bro I wish I can draw like you
Your wish is my command
I like traditional drawing art, I don’t think digital has the same feel, I’m ok not using it, won’t even try it
I thing traditional art is more authentic and you can actually touch it and admire how incredible or even how bad your drawing is.
1. You can sell it.
2. See 1.
What kind of paint are you using? More info about the pieces you are working on and the methods please!
Watercolor on Strathmore toned tan paper with pen and ink. The paper is quite thin and not made for watercolor, so I can't do washes, I have to use very minimal water and thicker paint. So that's why I only use splashes of color like that.
You can watch the entire full process here: ruclips.net/video/_oXsh_aMZVw/видео.html
I do digital for years now, but i dont ever want to lose touch with my pencils, i really need to draw on paper after a while
digital art is cool as hell. it just seems to easy, like if you make mistakes.
Oil, sometimes charcoal. Tried digital as well but didn't click, returned to traditional.
If you use texture or glazing the digital doesn't compare with traditional/oil. The 3D effect given by texture and transparency of the glazes just cannot be reproduced by digital painting.
The oil drawings look different depending on the light, I think it has to do with the pigments/layers, type of light. Cannot explain it - for me they look alive.
Very well said and I agree. I think the same thing for watercolors as well.
Now from the title, I thought this was going to be one of those videos that make something subjective objective.
I was wrong.
Personally Traditional art, is harder, but theres not Definitive, "best"
❤❤🎆Hello, Warm wishes on New Year to all of our wonderful and very special friend. ❤
✏💪❤❤🎉May you have a meaningful and successful year 2022 that brings you many joys and great big smiles!😊
I don't care which is better. I simply have no use for digital "art", and want no part of it. For those who do, have fun.
ay cool pigeon, man
Good work
@@IkramDrawingZone Thanks!
I do agree. Digital art just looks so fake.
I agree
Heeey
Digital art requires a expensive visit to the print shop if you want to actually print your work.
Traditional art costs just a sheet of paper and 2 pencils or maybe inks if painting.
Very true!
@@SchaeferArt there is also the pleasure of knowing that traditional art is all completely human talent it's completely mechanical and real.
When you introduce technology it no longer becomes the prize possession it once was.
If the Mona Lisa was originally printed by a printer and created on a computer, no one would care about it centuries later.
Computers give an unfair advantage to art which diminishes said art.
@@kinghadu9611 I completely agree. Kind of means that anyone else can just print it off again, there's no "original" of it - so to speak. And I hate they idea of "layers" and undo buttons, etc. And the fact that if the power goes out, there's no more art haha. All those factors just turn me off to digital art.
