Ah traditional, I always avoid it like the plague because I can make faster adjustments and get colors without any mess on digital ect. But there's been a problem just being strictly digital for years now, I have the beginners lines problem. Not drawing enough with my elbow/shoulder, and above all drawing with sketchy scratchy lines. Ultimately everything takes longer to do on cleanup because I don't have the control or confidence to make clean lines, straight or curved.

So begins my quest to finally fix this, about time.
I'm going to be doing ink-only in my sketchbook for a while. I used to do pen drawings many years ago before I got a tablet, often times it would be a better result because it forces me to decide on what I want to draw so digital has become too much of an easy-way-out. This time however I'm going to set another hurdle to clear. Even when I used to do ink drawings it would be very sketchy or scratchy, this time I'm going to make a conscious effort to do complete ones not just hatched together. By giving myself this restriction that I can't be as sketchy, in the end it should pan out to be better drawing technique.

I'm still likely to do painting by night, so my DA wont be completely dead. By splitting traditional by day and digital by night maybe it'll make me more focused on each. That's the goal anyways. :)
