My kid asked me why I still draw on a tablet after my old mentor's talk.
I was showing my 12-year-old how to use my Cintiq, and she said, 'Dad, you still draw on a screen? My teacher says we should use paper first.' It made me remember my old boss, Frank, who always said, 'The screen lies until your hand knows the truth.' For 20 years I thought he was just being stubborn about hand sketching, but maybe he had a point about building the skill in your head before you hit undo. How many of you still start a complex detail with a pencil? I feel like my kid and Frank are teaming up on me.

So what's the first thing you'd sketch on paper now?

Frank's old quote got me too, @kim_davis. I'd just draw a simple coffee cup, it's a good way to get the pen moving.

Wait, Frank said that 20 years ago? That's wild he was already thinking about it back then!
