Literally. I make and teach art, and everything starts with a tool that will leave a mark on a surface. Tablets are a step removed from that, but “genAI” isn’t even close.
Honestly if you have a tablet for long enough, the marks on the surface become pretty evident. Before my cheap huion tablet of several years finally gave out, parts of it felt like drawing on top of a vinyl record because the marks were so numerous and dug through the surface. In a way it was pretty cool to think about the amalgamation of all the strokes I ever used to create so many different things, all overlayed on top of one another onto a single “page.”
Very true 😄 Maybe somebody should make an exhibition of worn, dented and scratched tablets, focusing on those accumulated marks that were never intended as art?
“I can’t afford a tablet” is such a bullshit excuse. Simple tablets are dirt cheap. Also, pen and paper exist and you have a phone with a camera.
