My impression is that they don't do much, if any, hand drawing any
more. And a lot of their stuff is developed directly from one of
those fancy cameras that records every last detail (haven't a clue
how it does that). Sound pretty Dark Side to me. I should qualify
that by saying that I don't work much with those guys even though
we're in the same building.
While that digital stuff is probably more accurate (I did a measured
drawing in my misspent, long-ago youth and clearly remember fudging it
because I discovered at the last minute, much too late to go back and
remeasure, that I didn't have a clue how wide that window frame was),
it seems awful that such a wonderful skill is being lost.
