i find the people who "are only good at digital" pretty damn sad. do you lose all ability to do anything without all the fancy filters and gizmo's you get on your paint program? is it because drawing with a stylus is just so much different than drawing with a pencil? or (more likely) is it because you do not have the ability to step back a few steps of your process and cleanly remove any mistake you made?
even if you are a digital artist you should always work in traditional media as well. they are not mutually exclusive you know

For me, when I draw stuff with pencil, it doesn't look as good because I can't mess with it as much as if I had done it digitally. When I do pictures in Photoshop, I usually end up with over a hundred layers (mostly from saving old layers and copying them when deciding to redo lines), and I can flip the image (though I can do that on paper too, but it doesn't seem to tell me as much), and try drawing something slightly differently to see which way is better. I can also zoom in or out to try seeing what the image looks like as a whole or up close (...though, I usually draw small enough traditionally that it's about the same there). When drawing with pencil, I'd have to re-trace the whole image to another piece of paper if I wanted to try changing or redrawing something, and I don't like doing that more than two or three times, and I usually won't even mess with it.
A lot of times, I'll draw something on paper, and then scan it and trace over it in Photoshop. I think I'm getting better at starting images in Photoshop from scratch, but it can seem easier to begin a drawing traditionally and then turn it into a digital drawing and finish it. Also, when I draw traditionally, I tend to draw small, but when in Photoshop, I'll usually make the image at least 300% the traditional size. ...and then zoom in to 200 or 300% to do the lines and shading and stuff.
But, it's a lot easier to draw lines traditionally. It's just harder for me to figure out where to put the lines. Using a high quality tablet, I still need to zoom in to 200% to get a somewhat good looking line. The pixels on the computer are so much larger than... whatever there is on paper. I have a lot more fine control over traditional drawings. ...I guess it would make more sense to print out a corrected sketch, and then finish it traditionally. It would make the lineart step much easier for me. But it seems like cheating or something. :/
Ah... sorry for all the random talking. ^_^" I tend to type as I think, so I'll end up writing stuff as I try to figure out something.

no trouble really. you are more comfortable with digital as it gives you options that make it easier to do what you want and, going back to change things.

AsjJohnson In reply to Slenka [2013-04-21 23:47:14 +0000 UTC]
hmm... not sure about which I truly feel 'more comfortable' with really... But I think my stuff looks better when digital. I like doing things digitally because I can easily change whatever I want, and it looks nicer with all the smooth digitalness. If I could learn to get things right the first time, I might would do pencil drawings more (I'd drawn with pencil and paper for 14 years before getting a computer and starting to try to draw in MS Paint, and then later getting Photoshop. And I think my pencil shading can look nice). But I probably wouldn't do much with ink, because pens always make big fuzzy lines, or else will go in and out. But on the other hand, if I could learn to get smoother lines with a tablet (and with less work), I would probably draw more in Photoshop (or at least finish more pictures). I guess I usually sketch things with pencil, and I usually do pictures I want done well and uploaded to dA in Photoshop. I also like coloring with a computer, because I never could find a traditional medium that provided uniform color.

they look better because you can polish the bejeezus out of it. my personal opinion is that art shouldn't look perfect, it is the imperfections and personal touches of the artist that makes it art not just the quality

AsjJohnson In reply to Slenka [2013-04-22 02:13:41 +0000 UTC]
Perhaps, though I think I quite dislike the look of my drawing style or something. My stuff usually looks kind of plain or blocky or something if I don't work on it (besides unproportional and undetailed). I like a house to have plain walls without things hanging on them and not too much furniture (and then, not fancy looking furniture), and I've always liked Mathematics. I think that stuff about my personality has something to do with the way I draw. But I like seeing flowy sketches by other people and such, and wish I drew that way.

that is because you have been spoiled by all the options and layers you can slap on things digitally.

Dude... he drew with a pen... anything one does with a pen is permanent... if he had a pencil it'd be fine (He didn't have one ATM)... but i guess having an eraser is like the (undo button) for traditional huh? I guess that should be frowned upon. V_V

Slenka In reply to NatSunny [2013-04-22 05:29:52 +0000 UTC]
most of the time you never use a eraser when drawing with pencil because it just smudges and makes a mess. you also missed my point, if you draw with a stylus on a table it is very similar to drawing with pen/pencil thus making the argument of "i am only good at digital" moot.

AsjJohnson In reply to Slenka [2013-04-22 03:00:49 +0000 UTC]
...I don't think so. I guess I hadn't realized my drawings were as bad as they were until later, though I had never been happy with my coloring. Even when I was around 7, I remember that my thumb would start bleeding from how hard I pressed on crayons to try to get them to color evenly. Finding out that a computer can do that was more of a 'finally!' than a slowly getting spoiled thing. It's probably more from wanting my stuff to look like the stuff that's shown on TV. If I make fanart from a series, I want it to look as good as that series. I think I'd always wanted to become an animator. Well, either that or a child movie star - though, every time someone came to my parents talking about wanting to get me on TV, something always came up. But that's besides the point.

I had carpal tunnel, digital is easier on my shaky hands, I don't really bother drawing any more because of reasons, but digital is easier I guess.

I've been drawing digitally since i was 8,
Barely traditionally,I've gotten used to the stabilizer on Sai,
And the pressure of my tablet and pen tool too much,
So when i try tradionally,it's either really messy or ugly..
So i just stick with digital,It has nothing to do with talent.

Slenka In reply to oronii [2013-04-21 20:13:42 +0000 UTC]
i didn't say it had anything to do with talent, i am a bit surprised i got a legitimate answer instead of someone being a toolbag. I have found that going out of the way to get out of your comfort zone will improve both types of art. as for it always being messy or ugly i just think that is you are used to the polish you can accomplish using the excessive digital tools available.

reliance on ctrl + Z. as someone who does both, i can say first hand that once you get into the flow of working digital it doesn't necessarily take away your ability to do traditional, it just psychologically makes it seem so much more daunting.

Slenka In reply to BringerofD [2013-04-21 20:31:55 +0000 UTC]
yup i have heard the same, the inability to be able to go back to your last save and redo something perfectly instead of having a flaw or god forbid having to think of how to fix it without the ability to erase. personally i think when a traditional piece has some minor flaws it shows the artists personal touches better, far too many digital artists are entirely focused on making their pictures flawless it loses something
