PLEASE DISCUSS: Digital art controversy.. Is it freehand?

PLEASE DISCUSS: Digital art controversy.. Is it freehand? Video Clips. Duration : 2.78 Mins.


I am trying to put together some vids for digital tutorials as well as some that talk about the advantage of digital as a medium. But there have been some out there who have had the misconception that the computer somehow "aides" the artistic process in a digital painting-- meaning that you cannot "freehand" DRAW this type of thing without the help of the computer. I personally am fascinated by the different perceptions of people who do not seem to truly understand the process. But here is a raw video excerpt for one of the little "documentaries" I will be editing together soon. The final vid will be examining the digital process as compared to the traditional process. Now, I must point out that I am simply scribbling a make-believe creature's eye on both digital and acrylic paint. THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO LOOK IDENTICAL. The purpose of doing both of these is to primarily display the fact that they are both freehand, but obviously different mediums. (If I do a colored pencil sketch of something, and then an oil painting of the same subject- they are going to be different... Same scenario). So anyway--- I am posting this video to use the comment section as a forum and I'm inviting all of you to discuss your thoughts and opinions about what you see and how you feel about the digital vs. traditional debate. This is sort of some "research" to help me address certain things in my tutorials and documentaries that I will be creating. Fire away!
