Completely uncontroversial question about technology, especially for any graphics designers, artists out there. How do most professional artists work with technology? My son has the makings of being a great artist, but his main medium is simple pencil, pen, and paper. He does fantastic stuff. And I imagine a lot of artists love the non-technology approach. But how does an artist get their pencil and paper stuff into a computer, like what’s the standard process nowadays? I know there’s scanning, but that seems too inexact, like you can scan something in but it’d be useless to then edit in a graphics program. Or do artists use some kind of stylus/tablet to start with? I’m talking serious artists now who do real art, not the silly stuff you see kids doing in TV commercials for Apple ipads.
