Drasinnja De Sade said...: I love this style - this technique really seems to be working out for you - maybe you should try this digitally now?

I've tried looking for the book you said... It's too expensive =(

Could you give any more info?; August 10, 2009 at 9:45 AM
Guy Bell said...: Thanks for the feedback, De Sade.
The great thing about Art books is that the rules haven't really changed so used book stores are a gold mine. I've been drawing digitally for about 5 years so I really enjoy just drawing on paper again. Also, you can always tell when a digital artist trained first in traditional art.; August 10, 2009 at 10:02 AM
Drasinnja De Sade said...: I'll start hunting - I usually do - man, I'd love to have my hands on that book though - I'll check the libraries here...

See, I think you have to be a good traditional artist to be a better digital artist.

I never started art on paper, I started on tablet.; August 10, 2009 at 1:28 PM
Luca said...: Guybell, this is really a good piece. You really dig the way through this style. Also, it's really true when you said that you can always tell if the digital artist has a solid foundation in traditional art. De Sade, I recommend you to get a solid foundation in traditional art. It'll always help you ;)
