Im rly unsure what people like more.
And i would rly like to hear ya ppls opinion sad

Since im someone that draws in the traditional way
- i may change to the Digital way of drawing.
It wont be affected of the Voting you give in fact
- just asking.

I myself enjoy both.

The Digital art is awesome cuz the colours are so..
strong and everything looks so powerfull, but its a bit
of sad it is overdone and you can redo everything with
STRG + Z. But than again it just looks cool.. Its clear.

The Traditional art is more interesting, since you cant
just remake everything you do and a mistake while
colouring isnt something you can change back.. And the whole
feeling is way different.

I guess in the End i enjoy the Traditional Art a
bit more, since it got a bit rare.

I dont have a preference looking at art, since they both look good in different ways.
Doing art I prefer traditional. Last time I helped my sis with her digital piece I almost deleted it sweatdrop

I did a comparative essay/speech on this for english class actually.

Traditional can create more lifelike textures than digital, but digital small details are easily done.

Digital you can take anything and re-do a few things to call yourself an artist, but traditional gets pretty messy XP

if you like traditonal art then I say stick with it : 3 Art after all, is the freedome of creativity, an expression if you would. Some people like digital more, and others like traditional. If you feel best working in a traditional medium, then thats probably what you should stick with.

CG is a very fun alternative because like you said the colours are bright and the famous Cnt Z is very usefull. But unless your art is being made for other people, its irrelevant, if you feel better working in a traditional medium more.

If however your thinking of doing work for other people. I'd say maybe work in cg more. Since its easier to send and give high quality images in cg than in a traditional manner (scanners and photos usually don't do it justice)

I enjoy both too the only hassle for me is that I treat my supplies like gold, and it suck when I'm out of paint materials and paper, board or canvas, unlike digital where computer and electricity are the only things you need. Also the store is too far from my place and expensive to boot. But I still love traditional, I feel special when I finish one.

I like to look at digital art, some of it is so amazing with all the small details.


But, I love traditional art. I love having your piece right there, and not trapped behind a screen. I love the mess of supplies, and buying them, and all the textures each medium creates.

Traditional art is super expensive though, whereas for digital you pay the price but then you really have something to use for a lifetime.

For me, digital art is a lot more convenient, as I hate messes and getting paint splatters all over the place (and of course, the price of the paints themselves, and canvasses and charcoals etc). Also, I make mistakes a lot, so being able to undo things is really handy. And I can get an amazing array of colors and draw tiny details easily.
Traditional art, however, gives me more of a sense of control than my tablet pen does. Also, it just feels . . . more real, I guess. It's hard to explain, but I get a better feeling when I work with traditional media.

I like both. Traditional, you can feel the textures..it's all so real. More control over what you're doing, too. Digital..well, ctrl+z. Haha. Also, a whole new world opens up when you discover digital media. So many new things to learn and try out!

I enjoy traditional styles of art. To me, digital art is just so advanced. xD Traditional art is rarely done by the media now, since they've moved onto digital, so I miss seeing epic hand-drawn shows. Digital art is smoother and the color is clearer, but it can't beat the original. c:

I do both. I draw in pencil then scan and color digitally. It's much cheaper than traditional. I used to do all traditional,but have stopped.
