Which do you like, and why.
Are you like me and like both? I love digital for it's clean lines.
I like traditional for it's little mistakes, makes it seem more human.

I like to physically hold the art in my hand. I like the time and effort and work to be IN MY HANDS. And making a print of it just isn't the same.
I love how traditional art feels, I like the physical labor that's there. Digital art is good when you want something smooth and completely clean, but I feel like it takes away the character that's there in most cases. If you can't make the smooth lines you want traditionally, I feel like it's a cop out to do it digitally when you can just constantly undo everything and just fix it straight.
I just can't adapt to digital. I have a tablet, but I don't enjoy it the way I do pen and paper.

Scanning it in or photograph via digital cam. using an image program to do some minor adjustments or to create an entire digital composite. From photomanips, animations, webpage layouts. etc.
Besides, its easier to experience art in this format. No admission prices, fees, etc. Sure, it does have its draw backs..eep I digress.
In the end I seen no reason to shun one over the other.I actually see they are awesome together. Just like a lil cute cybernetic couple walkin' down the street. ^^
I used to love digital.. the thought of an "Undo" button, or just adding a non-committal layer had me hooked for awhile..
But there is just something so less limiting about traditional that I love.. There are no fancy formats or tricks to learn, and you aren't as limited.. and I personally love the brush strokes and textures much more than many clean digital work.

But with me working in galleries I want to sell my work and digital doesn't seem fair... because the buyer just has something I could print again. I mean limited print runs are good but you know I'm making a product for someone to buy, so I do consider them.
And with regards to undo, it's really easy to correct mistakes because you know what not to do. It's just getting the confidence to do it. I put down a stroke and wipe it back off so many times. The undo button is a little different.
Both are good, I mean I am trying to develop a digital style so then I can create art quicker for more of a freelance career... but who knows. People (like art directors, etc) are too impatient now a days and really push digital art which I don't think is good. And digital is hard for me because I draw with the paper on it's side and you can't really do that very well with tablets.
