There's no way a real brush dripping paint could ever put those thin lines.. though actually I've recently seen some REALLY patient traditional artists (working with a TOOTHpick would you believe it).. Me? I'm not sure still, what In really think about the digital stuffs. I've seen REALLY beautiful things, like THIS one.. but I still feel.. not quite there? You understand what I mean?
(yeah, I'm old, and didn't grow up with computers, maybe that's why..
Anyway, props! Looking beautiful! I LOVE the colours!
I love doing knotwork in just ink too, and I've done some knotwork in watercolors as well. But no, I would not have the patience to do something like this piece in paints - maybe not even the ability.
I checked out your gallery and love your work! And your wheaten terriers are adorable too!

That's really intersting to hear how you work both by hand and computer that way!
I also wanted to come back to say, that by no means did I want to come over as saying digital work doesn't require skill or practice. It sure does! It seems really hard to learn, and I know I could never get all that computer knowledge to do it. Not in a zillion years, Im dumb like that hahaha
But I think you expressed better than I could do myself, what bothers me a bit about it: you godditl the "exactness" which I'm not sure could ever be achieved by hand
hmmm.. though exactness's not a bad thing either.. imgina ebing able to get your circles eEXACTLY round! Or your shapes indeed all the SAME size n shape... hmmmm.. Maybe I should throw any of my old an' preconceived ideas outta mah window, huh?
That 'exactness' makes a lot of digital art seem more like a photograph sometimes. And it seems easier to see individual expression in the interpretations of mediums like paintings. I know a friend that does such good digital space art that except for the fantastical nature of it is harder and harder to tell apart from Hubble photos. Heh. (And there's a LOT of digital art here in DA!)
And yes, periodically tossing out all preconceived notions - great way to start fresh! Thanks for that reminder!
