Charles Glaubitz Digital/Traditional illustration workshop

Below, Charles Glaubitz describes a technique for combining digital and traditional illustration, as he teaches it in his Digital/Traditional Illustration workshop...read more about how he created this illustration of a stomach ache:

Final Art Digital mixed media

The illustration was created for my digital/traditional illustration workshop in my studio in Playas De Tijuana, Mexico.  Students learned how to digitally ink an image in Manga Studio, make hand made textures and traditionally inked shadow and light. Then it is all merged into a single image.
