Is it possible to be better at drawing digitally than drawing

>Is it possible to be better at drawing digitally than drawing the traditional way?

Not only possible but common.
It's easier to produce a good finished piece digitally because you can fix and polish it as much as you want without 'ruining' it. That is, nothing you do is irreversible (although sometimes it can take so long to fix you may as well scrap it).

I still think it's easier to sketch traditionally though. If only in terms of control and precision.

Yes, but that's not a rule, I've seen some artists actually do better with traditional media than digital, so I think once you get the knowledge, the medium is another tool and each tool has its own advantages.

One thing that helps tradicional media is that the textures, color blending and other things, are a inherent to it and it can add a lot to the expression of your art. Most beginner digital artist suffer from having a rather artificial and plastic look in their paintings, so it also takes a while to use digital media in really interesting way.

That's true, unless you got a Cintiq, which can help a lot with that (still not the same, though).

Do you cover your tablet's surface with a foil/paper for protection?

I cover mine with paper, not so much for protection but because I like the feel.

I have a tablet screen protector on mine. I press too hard, so it helps my nibs last much longer.

And yes op, it's possible. Digital is just a medium, so like any other, you'll have the ones you're more comfortable with and the ones you aren't.

I draw better on the tablet. I love undo, and I like that I can 'ink' it without all the sketching/erasing making the paper fucked up. That, and I'm an indecisive person who tends to resketch things until I find the lines I want. Bad habit probably, but digital accommodates that tendency well.
