Sorry…I hit send too quickly! I was going to say that I’d really love to see a slower version so I can see the way you build your shading from dark to light. It’s very intriguing

Thanks,
Jeralyn

I love your art! I really like the idea of watching you live, except that the video goes way too fast for me to keep track of what you’re actually doing.

Judy, I would recommend the flatbed scanner by canon, the “canolide” or “canoscan”, you can get a very nice resolution and it only costs about a hundred bucks. Perfect if you draw small as you say.

Hi Dani,

Incredible post! I wanted to see something like this media comparison in a long time, and you’ve done it so well. While I love traditional media, I think digital can bring fantastic results, and your work there proves that! The textures and brush strokes in your digital work is simply stunning. It feels so traditional, even more so than the traditional medias! So the winner here is digital for me; gouache second, watercolor third and oils 100th, hehe. One week to dry!!!

Last but not least: while this is my first post here, I’ve been following your site for years! Your textures and tutorials really helped me get started on the digital media. I added a link to here on my blog, hope you don’t mind!

Do you have a particular post / tutorial that outlines your digital painting technique?
