What is the problem? It looks good from here. I look forward to seeing more.
The problem is that when I change a finely detailed drawing to low resolution, I lose detail. The most interesting parts of this drawing for me is the fine white lines in the face and hands, and you just can't see that at 72 dpi!
Are you writing about not being able to do something the way you used to? Once cameras and film became of a satisfactory quality they pretty much replaced painters as portrait makers. It goes on forever, someday someone will say "I can't make flat digital pixels the way I used to with this new mental holographic rendering tool."
If you are describing a technology problem in clearly communicating the details of a work in another medium, then perhaps you could make larger detail images of the areas where you want to show a specific quality of the original medium.
Thanks for your comments. Yes, making a detail is definately the way to go. But then you don't get a full sense of the whole picture because you have cut it up. No matter how wonderful the web world
is, I am still convinced that there is nothing as juicy and satisfying as making and viewing art from raw materials.
I agree that there is no substitute for seeing the physical work of art. In the absence of that ability, then it is nice to be able to share it with a wider audience as well as possible in another medium (such as in a book or on a web page.)
But more interesting to me is the question of "raw materials" ... What are the raw materials of a digital image, such as your colored image of the cats?
I guess I would translate "Raw materials" in that picture as the pencil drawing that is underneath the color. So the actual raw material is that good ole dirty pencil on white drawing paper.
A big plus is the ability to keep that bottom drawing as is, and do multiple versions layered digitally on top. I love that part of it.
I like learning about this whole application of "art" altogether via these comments! Keep it going you two.
i love your art!!! it is amazing! i like all of your pictures, but i love the one of the guy with the pipe thing...
i love your art!!!!!!!!!!
