[QUOTE="67chevelle, post: 3309046, member: 135508"] Yeah, you hit it on the head with that one. My kids watch me sketching like there's magic happening between pen and paper. They definitely seem to have the creative interest and spark in them. Of course, when I see professionals knocking stuff out like it's nothing, I have to admit I'm the kid watching magic. I do give my kids the sketches to play with or destroy since there are more than enough to go around. Thanks for the reminder. It's really the cost thing for me. I can burn through both sides of 20 pages of paper in no time whereas with the tablet, I have unlimited canvas space and can do warmups, gestures, and experimental stuff at a rapid pace without worrying about a thing. For me, this frees me up creatively. I do still like putting pen to paper when I want to flesh out an idea quickly and with different line control. There's something about putting pen or pencil to paper that just feels right. If/when I get to a happier place with my fundamentals, I might do that so I can post up finished pieces for critique.
