Look: Digital Inking surpass most Drawings Techniques, but I still prefer to do
work with my bare Hands. I think you prove much more Skill at Drawing with your
Muscles and Pencil or Paint than moving a mouse or pressing keys: because anyone
can took a Image and ink it with Software. I admit a lot of Artworks are good,
but most of them are (for me) horrible, because the original draw was pathetic.
I know some guys who works at graphic Design and they cannot draw even a Worm or
a Ditto (I hate Pokemon, alright?).
I like the Graphic Stuff. I prefer drawing Landscape than Anime, but still look
at it: somethimes the Software can be mpowered for GOOD. I know PS and PSP: I'm
not a Pro but I can make it (if it werent for my lack of Time). I also prefer to
hadle a Pencil than a Pointer, Tablet or Mouse: I live in a gray City build in a
Desert. I prefer to see anywhere in this Planet than spend a lot of time in
front of a machine trying to learn.
Guys, I like to paint in PS, because you can use less Paper, and Things for
Inking are clean: and it's easier to make a Cartoon or any Animation in Software
than in Cells. Still, for original Art (Maybe because I born in a Forest) the
Traditional Techniques...
But what do you think? Old or New? why?
i dun really care, people are can be skilled at either or both, personally i've
seen some absolutely gorgeous cg works, as well as traditional, so i'd say
whatever you feel most comfortable with is fine enough
Well... no matter what kind of art it is, no matter how you make it, it still
needs a Vision, you still need to know what you're going to make, and you have
to be able to make it. Digital art isn't worse or better than
"regular" art, it just looks different... it's a different kind of
art, and often takes a different kiknd of skill.
And if you can't draw anime by hand on paper, then you can't draw it on the
computer. You still need to use the pen tablet in order to make your picture in
the first place, and no matter how many filters you apply to it, bad art is
still bad art.
The graphic designers you know who you say "can't draw" may not be
able to do the kind of drawing that you can, but I'm sure that they can make
things with Photoshop that you can't. And it's not just lecan't just learning
how to work the program; it still takes "artistic vison" to see out,
and a certain finesse, a certain way that you work the program, the same way
that you can't just be taught form and perspective and how to hold a pencil in
order to draw well. It takes talent and practice, and so does graphic design.
You can't just dismiss one form of art as "better" or
"worse" because you don't like it.

I think, that traditional art it's great, I am not a great artist, but digital
art makes easier to end with a very good quality work and at this time is
undervaluated like where the impresionist style in the XIX century, remember
that impresionism evolve to other non academic stiles culminating with abstract
xpresionism. The base of all designs in todays world, just remember a couple of
logos or the publicity around you.
Yeah digital art is still art. It's like an evolved form, for me. We've started
with our hands and now in this technologic era or whatever we use a computer and
one day we'll do it with our minds, which sounds totally hot by the way.
I perfer artwork by hand. I think it gives a person more skill but I shouldn't
say that because its hard to do digital work too. Sure there are shortcuts but
it does take a vision like embershadow commented.
When I think about which picture is better a digital one or the same thing by
hand, I'll always perfer the one by hand. It seems like more effort and there
aren't those shortcuts. Shortcuts for artwork is just no fun for me, hehe. Welp
thats what i got to say.
To me its not really an either-or thing. Digital art is more of a second step. I
usually draw it and scan and then do whatever digitally. In my opinion digital
arts biggest advantage is the way it can allow amateurs access to artistic tools
they wouldnt normally be able to afford and an ability to share it (this can
also be a curse).
Be it digitally or traditionally, I think that you need skills in both. This is
similar to smilebit's thread on animation.
I would think it's unfair to say that using just a mouse or whatever is
"easier" than drawing it on paper. I don't really know how people ink
drawings, but I know how long it takes to vector! And depending on how you are
colouring it in, this stupid vector has taken me 3 whole days already... so I
wouldn't say you need more "skills".
I am both a drawer and a graphics person- but I prefer graphics because I can
perfect my lines (I can't tell if I'm drawing a good curve or not, but the
pentool can correct that). THere are many wonderful artists who do sketches and
then perfect them on the computer.
So I don't think it's whether or not it's digital or traditional... because in
the end of the day, art is now mixed. Most things are done digitally and
traditionally.
There are wonderful works done traditionally and digitally- I would pass them
off as being equal

Some day digital will be valuated as it is: ART
