Really fascinating series of thoughts. I am interested in the haptic /
optic values of drawing, and have been considering the tactile surface
/ supports on which drawings are made. Is anyone aware of any work that
is looking at the improvements to digital drawing surfaces that have
more 'tactile impact' during the act of drawing?
Also I notice that the nature of the drawings also seems to change
quite considerably if the images are not viewed on a screen but are
printed, an image changes a lot if it is seen horizontally or
vertically also it is different depending upon the quality and type of
paper that an image is printed on. Printing on gampi paper gives a
more 'hand made drawing quality - but I guess this also leads onto the
question of the links between any print making techniques and drawing
and the mechanical intervention between the maker and the product.
