What do you prefer ? Digital or Traditional ?

both pictures look like shit

For the sake of clarification, are you asking which image we think is better or are you asking if we prefer to work in traditional or digital?

He's asking if you prefer art that's done traditionally or done digitally

i don't dislike traditional but i do enjoy digital more

aesthetically idc desu, good art is good art

In practice digital, you dont have to worry about having good paper syndrome and need a big space for messy paint. A desk, computer, and tablet are enough to get by.

I prefer traditional, I like creating something tangible with my hands rather than having the computer as this median between my hand and what I'm actually drawing. Plus, I love color mixing (color is my strongest fundamental) and I feel like I wouldn't be as good at it if I hadn't mixed my own colors thousands and thousands of times over.

I don't think one is better than the other, though. They both have their advantages and disadvantages.

digital can do a lot (definitely more than traditional) and is in no way inferior, but i prefer traditional. dunno why.

I don't know why, but I just can't enjoy the majority of regularly produced digital art anymore unless it's anime drawn by nips (anime drawn by western people sucks) and that's really because I follow them for which characters they draw, not because of the actual technique or whatever. Traditional just werks, everytime you look at a traditional piece you can appreciate something different about it, regardless of style or time period. I don't mean for this to sound like "muh sekret club" but nonartists and amateurs just look at whatever looks pretty (if female) or badass (if male) and call it good, they don't care about all the thought that went into a painting and how the artist planned every brush stroke seconds in advance before putting it onto the canvas. That's why I think digital art is gradually becoming shit because it's something everyone can do these days as long as you have a tablet (albeit not necessarily well) so the digital art pool is becoming filled with trash artists, while with traditional you have to have a commitment to the medium and study artists from history to learn more about it. I used to think digital art was the shit when it was at its peak with quality artists but now all you see is 1)kr0n or sakimi clones 2)"concept" "artists" that literally just c&p skyscraper photos and say it's "dystopia landscape" 3)instagram ecelebs who are 1) but with less porn and more cHrOmAtIcAbErRaTiOn and feminist/SJW garbage. There's still good digital artists that aren't anime or Japanese but they post like once a month.

sorry for the retarded blog, saged this post so people don't have to see it

Practically no one outside of fandom culture, weaboo culture, and various entertainment industry art circles (/ic/ being one of them) acknowledge digital. You cannot trust the judgment of people who look at frivolous things.

Traditional objectively looks better than digital.

Digital is only trying to copy what you can do with traditional art.

I think traditional art almost always looks better.
Digital art looks good when its not trying to be traditional/

I enjoy traditional and working in traditional, mostly because the feel of the paper makes things a lot easier for me.
But there's no undo or moving shit once you fuck up, unfortunately.

I will add on though, I do enjoy digital colours, because they can much more vibrant and you can experiment with them wildly without having to worry.

Digital can be beautiful, but a stunning traditional drawing always impresses me more than its digital equal.

Prefer working digitally because of the flexibility and low costs, prefer traditional art because it just tends to look nicer most of the time.
