traditional vs digital
9 years ago
General
so for the past few years i've noticed all my digital drawings seem to get more views and faves compared to my traditional drawings, which is the complete opposite of what i would have expected, considering traditional pics take me twice as long to draw and have twice the effort put into them compared to my digital pics XD
plus i use MSpaint to do all my digital pics ^^; which isnt the best programs to use, but i use it cuz digital mediums are still like a second language to me XD my first instinct whenever i get an idea is to grab a piece of paper and start doodling, so doing things digitally isnt exactly a natural process for me yet...but i've been working on it for the last 5 or so years and have been getting better. someday i hope to be decent at digital, but i need to move out of MSpaint first XD
so yeah, just wondering what my digital pics have that causes them to be more popular than my traditional stuff? am legitimately curious, cuz both digital and traditional mediums have their pros and cons XD but if one medium produces artwork that is better received, then maybe its worth exploring a little more :P

The major problem with your digitals is the lineart though, the halo of white pixels. Try to paint over it as the final touch to blend everything better.
yeah freaking Paint always does that...i've been getting better about fixing halos though cuz that white halo is really annoying ^^; it only works on tires, cuz they're black anyway and sometimes that white halo can show the shape of a tire instead of just melting together into a black blob XD
Get older MsPaint as well, there's no anti-aliasing causing the pixels to appear.
but seriously, do you prefer my digital pics over my traditional ones? and if so, why? x3 cuz thats the big question...and dont base your answer on the fact that digital is the medium i use to do your sketches :P cuz thats a bias! x3
seems like the conclusion people would get after looking through my gallery is that digital pics involve more complicated ideas, usually involving backgrounds, while traditional pics are usually simple ideas that are drawn a little better, but at the expense of a background (but this also doesnt explain why people like my digital stuff more XDXD)
thats a good idea though =D i've been in a milking mood lately :P perhaps a series of pics involving male planes getting milked, two traditional and two digital, would be a good comparison =D but even an exact copy digital/traditional would be a good experiment too, will have to try all of this XD
