Hi Tony, This comes at an interesting time: Who said/wrote: "First learn to draw well for it is an accomplishment that will not prevent you becoming a genius" Of course, I agree with this, and I did just that (the genius part is debatable). I can draw as well as I can write...and I can do it with a pencil, or even a stick in the sand. The timing of your posting is interesting because just last week I decided that I might like to color up a pencil sketch for a client, like I have so many times in the past but not lately. So, I went looking for the proper colored markers in order to do a product rendering with the right shading, and guess what? I couldn't find them! I went to my normal art supply stores and they didn't even stock design markers any more!!! When I asked they said nobody was using them any more and they were drying up in the rack...they said everybody just uses computers now. I am kind of saddened by this development, and it made me feel really old (at only 42) like I was a dinosaur or relic of the past. It is now possible to be a designer without knowing how to draw/sketch well by hand, I guess. I wonder just how much time is even spent on free hand sketching any more? I'll be doing it with my trusty Ticonderoga #2 until I eventually fall on my pencil one day...an honorable way to go in my opinion, at my drawing board :-) Best, Jim Tallman www.artisanindustrials.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] |
