I'm now a 2 year old Threadless member. Haven't been printed yet, but it's cool to be here, lots of great artists - both professionals and those who just do illustrations for fun - who are very inspiring and sometimes a bit discouraging when i get to see their high-quality work. :D

I think I've improved though, from my first blog post asking what "traditional inking" is, until now that I use a tablet in creating my linework and coloring,etc. So that's it. 2 years is still ok, even design students spend 4 years studying design.:D

btw,i have one pending, still for the Horror III challenge, it's a bit gruesome, so I'm not sure about it.

I'm just curious, and maybe other people here want to know as well. I'm just curious if being creative runs in your family. Like, is/was your father/mother a graphic designer or illustrator?

Where is the Love?

Here's the static pic. Some Threadless folks said that they didn't realize that my presentation was in flash format so i'm providing a static pic here.

Here is the design.

Hi everyone, I'm a little new to graphic design (and when I say new, I mean less than 1 year). I tried searching for this topic in the forums but nothing's come up, so I'm creating this post.

Question is, what does "inking traditionally" mean? Although I know what "traditional" means (probably brushes, ink, fancy pens?).

I've read some very good illustrators say "i just ink traditionally and color it on Photoshop." What do they mean by that? Do they use a tablet to draw and create their lines or they use those tools (like normal brushes and ink) to re-draw their art? If it's the latter, then I guess I can't create art the way they can since I don't have those fancy brushes and ink.

Can you still get the same "traditional inking" effect with a tablet? Thanks
