2. Characteristics of and how to draw analog illustrations
What are analog illustrations
It's when you use paper and pen, and not electronic devices. Typical tools include pencils, color pencils, markers, water color paints, oil paints, ink etc. You can draw anytime you like as long as you have a canvas and tools. People who draw on normal paper with a mechanical pencil are also analog illustrators. There is no need for you to learn how to use digital tools, and you can illustrate whenever you want to, making it one of its special features,
What makes analog illustrations attractive and what doesn't
The ideas expressed will vary very much according to the tools used or the quality of the paper and its balance. As you are unable to undo your work, every move is decisive, but another way to put it would be that the final product will not betray you. It's interesting to see how the slightest differences in color can portray such different things.
However, a lot of care has to be put into your tools. Markers and paint that are oil-based do not fare well in dry and hot environments, and it is important to cover them up and store in suitable locations. Also, there are times where you find yourself unable to restock the tools you need, and it is crucial to always check your remaining stock.
