Pros and Cons of Traditional Art and Digital Art

By: Abigail Abueva

    Many prefer to draw traditionally compared to digitally, and vice versa. It's important to know the pros and cons of each and to know which one fits you as a person. Personally, I enjoy both! However digital art programs are very nice and convenient to use.

    Of course, the programs you use may be a factor in what you can create online. It's best to know about the different types of programs offered online and their pros and cons. 

Pros and Cons of Digital Art

Pros: Wide range of useful tools, programs, brushes, easy to make corrections, saves a lot of time, generates less waste, and it's an industry standard for certain jobs

Cons: Can be expensive, can take getting used to, technical difficulties, can strain your eyes, less experience in blending, doesn't feel the same as drawing traditionally

    Personally, I enjoy drawing digitally. Lately however there is an issue with AI art and it can pose a problem for us digital artists. Digital art can save resources as well.

Pros and Cons of Traditional Art

Pros: Wide range of tools, nice feeling, less strain on your eyes, art is on paper so you can't lose files easily
Cons: Depending on the piece it can take longer compared to digital art, tools may be expensive, and hands can get dirty
    
    Typically, most artists start out drawing traditionally and on paper. Clip Studio Paint also did an article on the pros and cons of both traditional art and digital art. You can't lose your files like you may when drawing traditionally.

    In the end, it's up to you. Maybe you can use both, or maybe just one. It's good to know the pros and cons of each and how you can draw to the best of your ability.

My Artwork Throughout The Years

  My Growth Over The Years By: Abigail Abueva     I've been drawing since I was a child. From little cards for my mother and father, or drawings for Mother's and Father's Day, I enjoyed drawing and sharing my artwork with them. My father supported me since I was young and continues to do so to this day, and because of him, I was blessed enough to have a paper to draw and practice on.           Many people grow in different ways and at different paces. But we  always continue to grow  as artists and there are ways to do so. There are many  tips on how to grow , so with the media we have now, we can see the different ways people improve at art.     One of the things I like to look back on at my art is seeing how differently I draw now.  learning how to find my art style  was difficult and I still do so to this day. I'll be showing my digital art throughout the years so you can see how much I've improved or changed since then.     On October 3, 2021, I did a fanart of
