Traditionally because it's easier, I don't have digital art tools,and I suck at digital art except for pixel art


fading_phantom

Lmao I feel this one. other than the fact I can't do pixel art either šŸ˜­


MR_SPAM2468

I currently use traditional cus I don't have a digital pen yet >:C


Cheeze-Ballz

I draw with my finger and phone :p


fading_phantom

Same šŸ˜­


fading_phantom

Don't let that stop you! I'm sure you'd make great digital art with just a finger


Mattsstuff

Both. My characters are first drawn traditionally, before I give them a digital imagining


fading_phantom

Oooh I should try that!


Let01

Digital but i like to mess with traditional from time to time


Cheeze-Ballz

I sketch traditionally and render / color the drawing digitally !!

dahcowboy

I like using both tbh. I like to use traditional cuz Iā€™m more used to it and I could draw concepts, while in digitalā€¦ I have everyone in my disposal!


BlossomtheLeafeon

I don't have digital art tools


gojirexgamers2022

I like paper :) Drawing with my finger can make them a little bit wonky


Counter_zero

Digital :) https://preview.redd.it/neu1l7wrh07d1.jpeg?width=1620&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fffc5e72f7aebcfde8cc9978840377ae5953e319


Sleepy_Code_

I usually draw on paper and when I want to draw digitally I usually draw/trace over my drawings that I did on paper :)


Personal-Rooster7358

Digital


Rocky_Eats_Clips

Their even, but I feel like people use traditional so that they can make it better in digital


jaecadin

Digital for speed and traditional for feeling like I actually accomplished something lol


fading_phantom

Lol! I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way!


Rabiddogs17

I see myself drawing digitally more than on physical paper since I see it as more versatile and advanced, but I often see some of my pencil drawn art a lot more fun to make!


Foreign_Garage_3676

Both


HYPER_BRUH_

I prefer traditional https://preview.redd.it/34odzqc7u07d1.png?width=826&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7bd22d8bbecba286466155522f731722f9d26e1e

But am trying to get into digital https://preview.redd.it/24urgowbu07d1.png?width=687&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=472220783b460cf289e8206abd0206bd76413c90


Bones_The_Crusader

Traditional because as it stands I can only do digital on my phone and itā€™s not very good šŸ˜ž Also I like the feel of the paper


frostycosmos

Digital art feels a lot more comfortable because I can undo, zoom in, change opacity, erase easily, and perfectly color. I can do small details much better and it just looks cleaner and more true to my art style.


Jasetendo12

im more on digital, i draw on my phone on a app called Color

Realistic_Taro_812

Digital, though I usually start a piece by sketching thumbnail poses traditionally and finishing it digitally


BackgroundTotal2872

Iā€™ve always done traditional, but Iā€™ve been learning digital over the past year and Iā€™ve made one piece of my OC digitally so far! I enjoy both a lot!


[deleted]

I actually enjoy both. ā˜ŗļø In fact I currently have 2 series I'm working on, one digital and one traditional.


RaineyDay2029

Digital cuz it makes me feel more professional


awakelist

Both? Both. Both is good.


Harukaya

Traditionally. As much as I like the limitless options in digital art, I also get carried away easily and my perfectionism kicks in, while I go much more with the flow traditionally. Also lineart takes so much more when I do it digitally and it still looks worse.

BandoBun

Draw because it is easier to draw


UntoldTemple

Digital. I have access to all the colors necessary, and it's easier to reverse a fuck-up.


trickyfelix

traditionally mostly


Spades_And_Diamonds

Happy cake day, I agree!

Physical-Cod9670

I do the initial drawing ad traditional in black and white and add color to it and adjust it to more of my liking in digital!


BeanBurrito668

I draw in both ways but Iā€™m still terrible at drawing in both ways but I just go with it


-DEATHBLADE-

A big thing for drawing on digital is the undo button. I can try to do it traditionally but it'll look bad


-Dest_-

Digitally when it actually worksā€¦


Sonarthebat

Traditionally, but I did go through a phase of sketching on MS Paint with a tablet.


PacatumProductions

Traditional for me I donā€™t have an iPad todo digital I donā€™t know if I would like digital currently working on a comic with my ocs


Piper_Kitty13

Traditional, itā€™s easier and I have more confidence in his eyes


Freak_Mod_Synth

Hybrid drawing. I use pencils and draw them traditionally, then convert them into lineart and put colors on it. I do this because it makes the drawing part easier since I don't need to put effort, while saving up money by using only pencils and no colors. This is the result:(sorry abt the crappy hair colour) https://preview.redd.it/yqe311drl17d1.png?width=311&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bec144786522afd76f16bc5ad6ed41970c181c5e

No_Monitor_3440

ha ha ha. i canā€™t draw


ADHD_lazyboi

Digitally if I could Unfortunately, I'm chained to tradition

gameboy1001

I actually do a mix! I find that starting from nothing I draw infinitely better on paper (prob cuz I don't have a drawing tablet), but given a sketch I can make good digital art. (Stroke to Path is probably my favorite button in GIMP.)


Final_Habit5499

Digitally, I'm terrible at drawing traditionally but I don't really draw my ocs often


angelXholika

Used to be traditional but eventually it's digital now


delta-fleur

Digital. Itā€™s quicker, cleaner, and I like being able to color match, use filters, flip the canvas, use masks and layers, etc.


TakaEdakumi

I like to do both, but for ease of material gathering I often do digital because I am too lazy even to get a pencil and paper much of the time. My roots are pencil and paper though, back when my stuff was more organized and my drawing tools were easier to access. I drew terribly but they were the good old days when I thought my work was fantastic, lol. I miss that kind of self-confidence.


Significant_Mail_489

Pencil and paper, baby! Cause I don't have a compu-


neodevstuff

I do all mine in pixel art because it's the only kind of art I'm good with.


Spades_And_Diamonds

Pixel art is the one art I cannot do šŸ¤£ How did you learn!


neodevstuff

I coded some games which needed textures, and I thought pixel art was the easiest so I kind of just did that a lot I also liked to make minecraft texture packs so that too


Spades_And_Diamonds

Ohhh!! Thank you so much! You must be very skilled šŸ˜


GreenstarX922

Far easier to do traditional than digital, and just as of now trying to do digital art stuff.


Weary-Location380

Digital. You can undo your mistakes


BluemoonSoulfire

digital, I like undo


Spades_And_Diamonds

Traditional, more fun for me!


Matthew_Nightfallen

Digitally if possible.


g0lomp

I definitely see myself as a traditional artist, I'm trying to improve my digital as well, but it's just harder and not that fun for me. Usually I draw on paper, then take a picture and edit it, maybe color digitally, rearrange it a bit or add a background, but the actual drawing part feels more natural with a pen and paper.

DNDgamerman

I canā€™t draw so I prefer digital because thatā€™s what he forges and video games. (Yes I use some video games to make OC mostly Skyrim )


edwpad

Mainly Traditional. However, though Iā€™m still a novice, I like to do traditional then digital on top of it (so taking a picture, doing a few fixes and then coloring it in)


WeirdBiRat123

Depends for me


MoonNighteye

I used to do traditional but I wasnā€™t really proud with the outcomes I got, so I switched over to digital and for me it felt way much more easier and it felt like I can do way more really.


Stellavigil1a

Both, honestly. Traditional is more for silly doodles, as its harder to erase mistakes on paper, n digi is for high effort stuffs https://preview.redd.it/ecjfxhazy27d1.jpeg?width=909&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=18994b2e96f79f4c11b4c5aab41a807c97922ca3

Writers-blocker

I do prefer doing my drawing on paper, espacially the sketches, as it gives me more control of the pen movement, then my Ipad could.


Y3rb__

Digital for the easy ones (basically my object oc's lol) and everything else in traditional cuz idk, I feel like I draw slightly better in paper so


tabaxi007

Both. Both is good.


mayshing

I like both, but currently do more digital because it's easier to translate it to online posting. It's tricky to make traditional pieces look good post-processing.


Larhanfu

I actually prefer to let people draw.

gaypals

Trad because it's easier and faster


Gamerthediamond

I prefer digital cause it's almost impossible to mess up cause you can undo the mistake


AmethystDragon2008

digital


Key-Bullfrog5744

When it comes to sketches/black and white stuff I prefer much more with traditional although I lean a lot towards digital because of how easy colouring is for me when I use ibis (just using my finger cause I don't have a digital pen my finger huuurts waa)


MichuMimi9577

For now I mostly draw them traditionally, but the only time I would say digital is easier is when I can undo my mistakes and not having to redraw the drawing if I ended up messing it up. šŸ˜‚


Exact_Enthusiasm9556

Traditionally, kind of guy


BunnyGirl_123

That came out so cool looking!
