Sure the computers make it easier, but there's something missing when you think about it. I agree on this topic…nothing beats pencil, pen and ink.

We love nothing more than putting a pencil to paper however we all realize: To make it as any kind of artist today you need to have your computer chops. We study our photoshop and color or touch up stuff for hours at a clip but... I think it was Quesada whom took a quote from jimmie page-about a real musician being able to rock with just and accousic guitar, joe compared it to being an artist using just pencil and ink. All these tools can make it look flashy and cool but anyone can program eye candy, but to be skilled/talented you could put a bic pen to a napkin at denneys and make it happen. Know your tools to look good.To BE good, know your craft. Nothing beats pen on paper. I agree, me and my art jam buddies are all purists.

Frank Miller comes to mind quickly and yes, there is much love for Frank Quitely around here. Like I said, I could have added another 100 artists easily.

I know he gets his stuff digitally inked nowadays, but his earlier work is astounding! No love for Frank Quitely?
