sigh This is lovely but ... I used to sit down with a sheet of A3 or A2 and a set of technical drawing pens and a set of writing pens, not to mention the board (Staedtler, with horiz rule and adjustable right angled protractor thingie), French curves, angles, protractor, rulers, compass, flexi curve and the rest. Obviously, I'd go in with a full set of pencils too. A softly applied, thinly carved 2B to sketch out features first. (etc) Nowadays I can barely scrawl my name with a Biro, thanks to IT!

Test of artistic talent decades ago: free drawing a perfect circle by hand today: A legible signature

A valid and relatable viewpoint. I take great satisfaction in keeping my tabletop gaming materials as tangible as possible while many have gone fully digital and never looked back! That being said, I'm a huge fan of Artifexian's months long video series[0] of scientifically approximate worldbuilding with many different and highly technical digital tools. Edit: and furthermore, if I were eget back into "hand drawing," I might still prefer an iPad with K. M. Alexander's brush sets.
