"With newer technologies, Art can now be created in many digital mediums-- though there's a lot of talk that digital art practice isnt as hard or as personal as art created in a traditional medium"

Whats your Say on this?
* Do you think digital or traditional is harder then the other?
* Do you think Artists cant be as personal with their artworks in a digital form?
* As a traditional, digital, or mixed artist -- what do you think?

The Digital and Traditional Fine Arts are completely Equal in difficulty.
You still have to learn (or should learn) the tools of the trade and how they work and when they should and or shouldn't be used.
You have to learn (or should) how to handle a constrictive critique, and a complete attack on your artwork that doesn't acknowledge any of your mistakes or how to fix them.
Digital:
- Get your brush or pen(cil), choose your color, make sure you have a sketch or something in mind to sketch.
- <Someone who took the time to appreciate your artwork and make a nice commentary about it - and give you tips and help on things that they might have thought you needed support on>
- <Trolling>
Traditional:
- Get your brush or pen(cil), choose your color, make sure you have a sketch or something in mind to sketch.
- <Someone who took the time to appreciate your artwork and make a nice commentary about it - and give you tips and help on things that they might have thought you needed support on>

Digital and Traditional artists also have the same potential of creating an artwork and having some personal attachment (of any form, emotional or otherwise) to the artwork which they created.
Say, a child got a puppy. A real live, warm, breathing, puppy. That needed to be walked, fed, played with, etc. (In the manner that puppies usually need to be walked, fed, played with, etc.)
And say, another child, had a digital dog in some virtual world and couldn't have a puppy for whatever reason. And the virtual world simulated real-life needs for the puppy, such as being walked, fed, played with, etc.(In the manner that puppies usually need to be walked, fed, played with, etc.)
Who would care for their puppy the most?
Both would probably care for their puppy equally.
-
Mixed Artist.
(I don't usually talk like that. This is just a topic I feel strongly about.)

In my opinion, the difficulty in both is equal. With both you have tools you must experiment and practice with to learn how to use properly!
They can be just as personal. With each's tools you can create your own unique touches, put in the same amount of feelings, time and work.
Art can be just as hard and personal on both traditional and digital media. Though sometimes, art materials for traditional work ends up being more expensive than buying lets say a tablet and an art program that you can use all the time. It all depends on the artist's prefrence, and art can be just as beautiful and emotion filled in both mediums.
I am a mixed artist.

As a mixed artist, I do agree that both traditional and digital media have an equal level of difficulty and do require the artist to practice and learn how to use the various tools. But at the same time, I also believe that digital media has a slight advantage over traditional. For example, say you make a mistake painting or inking traditionally. You can't always go back and undo that mistake, sometimes you end up having to re-do part of or the entire image. Where as, if a mistake is done on a digital work, you don't always have to erase a huge chunk of the image to fix that mistake.
Now, I'm not saying that all mistakes done digitally are easy to fix. I've had my share of mistakes on digital works that required the deletion of several layers, or completely re-doing the entire picture.
I'm not sure if I'm making any sense but I would have to say that both mediums have their pro's and their con's. Yes they both have an equal level of difficulty to learn and master, but I don't think they are 100% equal. That is why I am a mixed artist, I draw out everything traditionally, and make changes where they're needed, ink, and color digitally.
