Tacos? I'm picking up what you're putting down.
What was your decision process for drawing with fingers? Are you able to reach an accuracy you are satisfied with or do you have a tool or skill to get around any accuracy problems you encounter?
Technology has changed a lot. Drawing tablets have faded to the creation of integrated touch screens. Do you find the iPad is a superior platform for drawing?
TACOSSSS <3 (yum)
I actually have Lyme Disease and draw with my fingers because among other things, joint pain/body pain is part of my daily life. That includes my hands. I take a daily dosage of antibiotics/probiotics and vitamins to keep myself healthy, but the pain is always there on various levels. Holding things I can do just fine but I cannot really lift anything too heavy over a long time either. As you can imagine, this is a bit of a problem. Wasn't too much of a problem as I was a kid/teenager, as I drew 1-4 hours a day back then, but as I got older it got worse (I can be drawing 7-12 hours on one piece overall now)
So holding a stylus is difficult over a long period. I hardly even write in real life anymore, I usually just type on my ipad as it is gentler on my hands.
This is the method I developed to not give up on my art!
I'd say to anyone to use the method that works for them! Some are better with a stylus, some draw with their fingers like me! Either way you choose, tool wise, I suggest keeping the tool up to date. Because the best new thing today often doesn't get supported past the three year mark, hardware/software wise nowadays. Keep that drawing tablet, or ipad, always updated. That includes buying new models as often as you can. My luxury I save up for isn't cruises or purses, but hardware to keep my art growing. - w o )/
