Stickz – LostrittoReading

I thought the way Lostritto defined drawing with anti-definitions was a unique and accurate way of describing the definition of drawing. For one thing, I liked how he made it clear that digital drawings should not be considered drawings, even if they are forms derived from digital paper and pen. The idea of perfecting “undoing” a drawn mark is not possible with physical drawing, which separates the physical practice from digital drawing. I also think the way he states how “computing technology can augment, but not replace, drawing technology” is another great point that distinguishes the characteristics of drawing, where the act of drawing will forever be a human task, even if machines can assist and do the work for us. I think the idea that drawing is done by humans will stick with me for the rest of the course, where I hope my drawings will keep the human characteristic and read as something created by myself, rather than one created by a machine.
