Yanick Paquette talks about Digital Pencilling and Traditional Inking

Over the summer Yanick Paquette started using a Wacom Cintiq for his pencilling process. However he still relies on a traditional inker to finish the pages. Here he explains what you get with the collaboration with an inker and what the limitations are of digital pencils.

Everyone who's looking to my pencil are sure it's done the old way, but everything is done with a cintiq...It's just a question of good settings!

It will probably never feel the same as paper, but that does not mean you should not give it a long term trial. It's something you get used to over time. It's always good to draw on paper, and any self respecting artist will draw just as good on paper as he does on the computer, but that is where the industry is moving. If you wan't to make a career out of art, you need to use the Wacoms and many people believe that the tools and possibilities outweigh the feeling of digital.

@HDaviator You still can't get the same feel though. Until they develop a way to take out that slidey smoothness of the wacom, then i'll continue with pencil

I have seen stuff done with Wacoms that I thought where done on pen and paper. For everything but the price tag, I can see pen and paper dieing out for professional art. It just makes more sense to do stuff digitally, both in a time aspect, but in a cost aspect as well. I know its good to continue old traditions, but just like books going digital, things need to evolve.
