Today’s Digital Thursday is to show you how I need the digital medium to make my traditional work look better.
First up is the actual hand-drawn piece that I did for the most recent Ten Ton Studios Sketch Challenge of Iron Fist.![](https://static.squarespace.com/static/52bf3648e4b0b97e0fbce045/52c2446ae4b09aa156002f7d/52c2446ee4b09aa15600301f/1388463214715/1000w/)
It is not bad, but it is a departure from my “normal” “style.” I decided to go very minimalist on it to see if I could get the shapes right.
Second up is the digital assist on my linework.![](https://static.squarespace.com/static/52bf3648e4b0b97e0fbce045/52c2446ae4b09aa156002f7d/52c2446ee4b09aa156003021/1388463214716/1000w/)
I did 3 things on this digital assist.
Thing 1: I added the blue stripes for visual interest
Thing 2: I corrected the body proportions on Iron Fist. He was a bit torso short in the original
Thing 3: I did some minor color correction
To recap:
I feel that I am okay in the traditional art realm
I feel I am better when I can assist myself digitally
I have things I need to get done this weekend
But I also have things that will keep me from getting all those things done
I threw in half a Power Man for free
I just spent $78 at Blick Art Materials
It is a good thing I had a $50 gift card
Listening to Great DJ by the Ting Tings
Have a great weekend everyone
