Discussion: There is still a great deal of power in the pencil, as a matter of fact, the pencil, in a very broad sense, defines the illustration process. The teaching of drawing can vary from one art school to another, but all agree that foundational drawing skills are a very important discipline. Drawing can be used for pleasure, note taking, recording, representing, planning and portraying. It can be observational or interpretive. It can reflect a moment, a movement, or simply convey information. One can draw with almost anything that can make a mark - pencil, brushes, colored pencils, pastels, charcoal, paint, or markers. One can create drawings in color on the computer, using an application such as Adobe Photoshop, with the freedom and flexibility to make changes and alterations throughout the project.
QUESTION: With all the technology available today, do you still feel it is important for the illustrator to be able to draw well and why? Please include references from the readings to back up your argument
