On the left is a pencil drawing I scanned in. On the right is the digitally inked artwork done in Photoshop. As you can see, they have two completely different tones. My original pencil lines were more sketchy and aggressive. Then, the digital lines look more balloon or cartoony, but otherwise more clean. Of course, this is all practice. My goal is to make it look almost 1:1, so that it looks consistent. Drawing on a 4×5 tablet isn’t necessarily as intuitive as 1:1 graphite pencil on paper (which I’ve done most of my life and have more control).
