I didn't mean for it to sound rude if it does...
This is rather inspired from how many people I've seen/read that think digital art is "not true art" because it's made on the "computer." Seriously. There ARE people that think the computer does it for you. <.<

:bulletred: Digital art has it's advantages, and so does traditional art.
:bulletred: Traditional art is very difficult, but so is digital art.
:bulletred: Neither one is quick.
:bulletred: You have to learn the program you use to digital paint, just like you have to learn the colors and texture of the traditional paint before you can make a masterpiece.

I'm not saying digital art is better, and I'm not trying to bite off the heads of people who think it's a piece of cake. I'm just saying ...

I actually think digital art is harder...but that's probably because I don't have a tablet. XD

But, really, no matter what medium your using, you still have to do all the lines, colors, shading, perspective, etc....so it's not easy at all. :/

To me they are the same (I draw digitally just from few weeks). I think the most important thing is to practice everyday on both medium.

I can tell this whenever I compare my traditional drawings to my digital ones.

Seriously. Personally, I think it's easier, probably because I suck at painting, but, it's like
friend: that's so good!
me: Thanks! I did it digitally!
friend: oh...

friend: that's so good!
me: I didn't draw it.
friend: oh...


Friend: that's so good!
me: thanks! used colored pencils!
friend: OMG, THAT'S SO IMPRESSIVE!! I'M SO JELLY!!


like...why does the medium make a difference?

What!? Please tell me how in the fucking world is Digital WAY harder than traditional?

Well, it's probably just because I have bad hand control and a sucky program,
on computer, and well, it takes longer to learn to draw on a computer with all the options... unless your on mspaint, than on paper.
It's just my personal opinion I know some people who are wonderful on paper
[link] and some who are great on computer [link]

I do both digital and traditional, and I can say that digital is MUCH easier. One full drawing on computer can take me 5-6 hours but on a traditional painting would take me 12-18 hours, sometimes even more. Digital has way more advantages then traditional. It takes longer? Um, I'm pretty sure I see hundreds of 10 minute tutorials on how to use a certain program.

I don't do Anime nor MLP so maybe in terms in anime, digital is harder then Traditional. I focus on realism and portraits and let me tell you GIMP/Paint Tool Sai, Photoshop is WAY easier because all of the short cuts and tools it has.

It just saddens me when I see people giving props to digital more then traditional and that digital is more popular then traditional. I went to look for traditional stamps and I could find VERY little it only said ''I support traditional'' and then I saw this stamp. .__.
