Another reason for Digital vs digital is we forget we need to train the digits on our hands too. One of the reasons I enjoy your videos is you show how creating art is also about using your hands and that's a skill that needs practice too. That little jump you did from the drawn illustration to working on the scan was good too, I'm guessing nobody cuts rubylith anymore. ;)
Eric I'm curious as to why you don't use Sketchbook Pro for your digital sketches? I find it a lot more intuitive to use than photoshop for digital sketching and has some really cool features, that photoshop does not. That mirroring of the bottle would have taken a lot less work for example. My personal workflow is work analog for initial doodles, snap a photo with my iPad pro and continue on with renders when needed.
Jesse Cox just not familiar with that app, I plan to switch to affinity photo at some point. All done with that adobe stuff. They will probably never earn another penny from me.
Hi again Eric. Check it out here, recently became free. made by Autodesk sketchbook.com/desktop. Runs on every major platform. It even has some tools to tighten up perspective when needed. I don't own Wacom but instead use an iPad pro and a stylus for digital sketches. Also run an even more powerful desktop version on windows or mac. The whole app is set up just for digital sketches. Affinity would not compare to it in terms of a tools for making a tight digital sketch or rendering. Its being taught now at most design schools that do product design programs.
I strongly advise against affinity photo for this kind of work. It's a very good software, but really best for photo manip. If you want a good alternative for psd as a design and sketch tool, look for sketchbook as said here, or Clip Studio which is very similar to photoshop (similar interface and all) but specialized for illustration.
I think with the advent of touch screen support thanks to Android/IOS/Windows 10, the displays on those devices are really coming together nicely. So it's possible in the next 5 or so years, getting a Surface Pro or similar is all someone may need. In the end how proficient you are in anything comes down to practice.

Eric, I am curious, you favor the white nibs or the back ones? (On the Wacom Stylus). For sketching I mean.
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
digital is the same as paper it just have the undone button and you need to create more layers
