Another Question of Density
One of the issues/interests I have with digital drawing is something I’m naming “tool blindness”.
I can choose from so many simulated tools and then within those I can choose colour, size, opacity, and more. But the mode of drawing only shows those things as settings and it’s only in the mark that follows the Pencil that I see the shape of the tools. It’s not like grabbing a palette knife and knowing it’s width and feeling the reciprocal tension between the drawing surface, the tool, and my hand.
The digital tools are ghosts of the original tool. Echoes of a single nameless mark repeated.
