Since I decided to create an illustration for my final outcome, I have always asked myself if I wanted to do a digital one or one with pencil, and other materials, or with both.
Most of the illustrators that I researched like Megan Hess and Hayden Williams, only use physical materials to draw their work but sometimes they do use digital softwares for their work maybe to clean it up or to add an existing brand logo on for example, the Vogue Cover created by Hayden Williams that I reviewed, he must have used Photoshop/Illustrator for the "VOGUE BIT" because even when you look at the bit where he's put his signature you can see that he had to do something digital to make it legible but also professional and clean.
What i like about drawing with pencil and other similar materials is the fact that I don't have to learn about how to not make it look flat because I have been drawing for years and do I have already been taught about shades and light and all that kind of stuff, ON THE OTHER HAND, when it comes to digital fashion illustrations I have to learn how to draw perfectly with the softwares and learn about vectors and all that kind of stuff. Don't get me wrong but, I just don't have enough time to learn about all those things so obviously the only option I have right now is to use pencils, watercolour and others to achieve other things then maybe I may use photoshop to clean up my work, only if it is necessary.
