am i the only artist who feels more comfortable drawing with pencil and paper over a tablet?? it can’t just be me, right

tablets have all these cool features and junk, plus what the programs can do obviously outweighs any pencil and paper “features” if you can even… call it that lmao

but when it comes to comfort and the amount of fluidity i get out of my lines and poses, pencil and paper always works best for me?! (i suspect that i am actually holding my tablet wrong, which is likely because i usually just rest it in my lap and draw with my wrist on an angle… but even if i held it right, it still wouldn’t FEEL right yanno what i mean)

  1. voissane answered: I feel I have more control with the pencil. Though I sometimes miss the ctrlC-ctrlV, haha
  2. cookielover1997 answered: pencil and paper are the best , better then any tabllet out there in the world
  3. herpderpshmurp answered: Hm… No, you’re not the only one. I have a really hard time using the tablet, so I stick with traditional art.
  4. anfuu answered: No, you’re not. I mostly draw with pencil and paper.
  5. hawkwithglasses answered: Not at all! I feel the same way! Tablets are cool and everything but it’s hard to ditch the pencil and paper when that’s all you’ve known. ^^

  7. americas-fluffy-nantucket answered: Agree. When I use tablet, my poses are weird and not anatomy correct…>w>

  9. ktchewy answered: Aah, yea.. I personally like to draw on paper a lot more than doing stuff with my tablet; my dA is basically dead right now LOL

    myself. I think i’ve used tablet twice since i began drawing...couple years ago....
  11. vignettes-on-vellum answered: I agree. I could never use my tablet with the same dexterity as my good old fashioned pencil and paper, it just isn’t as natural.
  12. soymilkparade answered: I know what you mean, I”m still not used to my tablet even though I’ve had it for so long. Paper and pencil it still more comfortable to me.
  13. nanatad1801 answered: I do, too.
  14. faeofthelostwoods answered: No, I totally know how you feel. As much as I enjoy drawing on a tablet, most of my art still turns out better on paper. ; u;
  15. everythingbutsteering answered: I feel so much more comfortable with a pencil, but ctrl+z is just so much better than an eraser
  16. hikariheart answered: I have better control and comfort with traditional media as well! Something about drawing on a tablet while looking at the screen is hard! :/

  18. k-onwho answered: i’d rather draw with a pencil and paper, unless i have access to a cintiq, then screw the paper and pencil
  19. technicolor-rain answered: Same, I can’t get used to looking at the screen and not at my hand while drawing
  20. kirono answered: Yesyes. I mostly start out my drawing on paper and then transfer them. But I usually put the tablet beside me like a mouse.

    I just feel awkward on
  22. stephodell reblogged this from redlark and added:
    I absolutely agree. I never liked working...tablet. It made colouring things so much...
  23. bonzai-bunny answered: No, I started on paper and pencil and I’m still new at the tablet, so paper and pencil all the way.
  24. stephodell answered: I am absolutely against tablet work. Pencil and paper, all the way. BD
  25. tamagopudding answered: I am comfortable with both. :) Yeah I know how you feel about using either tablet or pencil and paper.
  26. vocalistrager answered: PENCIL > TABLET if only because there’s a control over the paper that you can’t get with tablets and photoshop w/o 894738436 adjustments. :V
  27. all1sees answered: Amen to that!!
  28. retrobeefcake said: drawing with pencil is like crazy good time for the entire world i think
  29. suddenlyapples answered: BOTH EQUALLY i think. i just have lots more cheats on the tablet though KESSESES
  30. pockytardis reblogged this from redlark and added:
    feel a looooooot better...i’m so rubbish at traditional coloring!!
  31. timeandshades answered: I’m better and more comfy on paper, too. But I’ve only had a tablet for a short while, so…
  32. suchirolle answered: same, plus it doesnt hurt my eyes as much to stare at a paper than a monitor
  33. strawberreli answered: agree. i am absolute shit on a tablet, but moderately decent on paper.
  34. snoipahkat answered: I LIKE THEM BOTH EQUALLY but you should really try just doing your tablet flat on the table for me it feels more solid ahh
  35. treehousegirl answered: i like paper and pencil a lot more. i just wish the paper had an undo button. lol
