can a person who draws traditionaly can become a illustrator
Hello Kuzuki Arts,
Absolutely, YES — a person who draws traditionally can definitely become an illustrator!
In fact,
many great illustrators
started with traditional drawing skills — pencil, pen, watercolor, sketching, all of it.
Illustration
simply means creating visuals that tell a story, explain an idea, or decorate something — and it doesn't
have
to be digital at first.
The main thing is:
-
You already have the artistic foundation (lines, shapes, shading, proportions).
-
To work professionally today, learning some digital tools (like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or Procreate) will help you present your work better.
But your core skill — drawing — is the most important thing. Software is just a new pen .
So yes, with some practice in digital mediums (even just using a basic tablet or an iPad), a traditional artist can become a brilliant illustrator.
Hope that helps...
Hii,
Indeed, without a doubt! You can work as an illustrator if you have traditional drawing skills. After beginning with pencil and paper, many illustrators switch to digital tools like Photoshop or Procreate. Strong shape and shading abilities are developed through traditional drawing, which is essential for illustration. By scanning your traditional art and digitally adding color, you can mix the two.
You'll become proficient with digital tools with time, and your conventional abilities will contribute to the distinctiveness and professionalism of your works!
