if you've been doing traditional for much longer, it can feel a lot more difficult to switch over. took me a really long time before i finally felt comfortable working digitally because the process (and hands-on approach) just felt like second nature to me. hopefully you can warm up to it with time!
got a (berd) livestream from 5 years ago recommended to me yesterday as members only content. i was there when the stream happened. truly i do not understand why this has to be a thing.
anyways that's all, i felt like blabbing about this because i wasn't sure if it was clear enough in my work that it was all done by hand, but now you know :>
back before i did digital art, i would try to achieve the same feeling in my art on paper, and it was infinitely more troubling than this ! at the very least, being digital now, i can undo the lines that i mess up. but in these pieces here, you can see i only had one shot to make it work. fun stuff
so in case you were wondering, no, these are not vector illustrations! i'm sure i could use vectors to make it a lot easier, but this is sorta how i've always done things. (i'll share some examples in the next reply)
thankfully it's all just tracing over my sketch/guides from there, so it doesn't take as long, but you can imagine how harrowing it gets when i give myself massive circles to follow. sometimes it kicks me in the ass, but i enjoy it, and i'm proud of it.
but all of this is purely to make sure i'm sticking to the geometry i set out to achieve in the first place!
after that, it's lineart. like i said, i'll use rulers for straight lines, mainly ones too long for me to feasibly remain consistent when drawing digitally. the circles however are all me :>
