Why do you use digital? Why not do it traditional? I don't get why digital is so popular amongst young artists. It's nice and convenient, sure, but isn't it much more fun to draw and paint with real colors and real pencils?
>>
no?

next question.

1. Uncoditional CTRL Z.
2. Easier to share on social media.
Surely, this is not hard to understand.
>>
>>7921843
I love both, but yeah, pencils are more fun to doodle and sketch with.
>>
>>7921843
if trad is so great whyd you post a digital image
>>
>>7921843
Less mess

Answered your own question
>Isn't it more fun to spend hundreds of dollars on art supplies and lug them around with you everywhere any time you want to draw?
No. Outside of a personal sketchbook or live figure drawings, anyone still doing full-on traditional pieces is either doing it for novelty or because they're old as fuck and too set in their ways to make the switch
>>
>>7921843
Social media. Thats the answer for most

If you want to work professionally, then you'll need to be proficient in digital, and working digitally is also probably the cheapest medium (programs can be free, and a decent tablet can be as cheap as just the paper or canvas you want to paint or draw on for trad)... so those are going to be the big two reasons.

However, I ultimately agree with you. If buying materials isn't an issue, you really should be working in trad. After all the likes and follows you get from posting your digital image, you can then be saying,
>"hey, it's also a piece of physical art, buy here ___"
and actually making money from your doodles. Even if you haven't got a social media audience, you can at least send that art to an art dealer, or put it on ebay, or whatever else to sell it.

The only downside is that trad media obviously has a bit of a harsher learning curve, and is less forgiving to the artist. I'm sure there are a good number of artists on here who can't do with ctrl+z or the warp/liquify tool.

Just quickly cover it up with your porn mags.

No, and even if it were, why would YOU think that?

Yea, that's what I was thinking. I personally just use digital as a crutch. I definitely prefer trad, but I still use digital too, because it's just easier when you can fix everything easily.

Traditional gives you actual tactile feedback when drawing and painting. You can paint with real brushes and real colors. Digital ijust feels lie drawing on glass the whole time.

I'm struggling financially and have little time, when I draw on my tablet with my stylus it's easy to be in the living room with the missus and just draw for a bit while we watch something and talk, and I can easily put it away, also don't need to spend money on supplies, and I have access to a ton of colors and brushes without needing more space than my tablet and stylus.

It's just 10x easier and more convenient for me.
>>
>>7921843
Well, obviously traditional is much more enjoyable. But you can't port it directly online and I want to show my stuff to others, so.
