Things I don't like when using digital: 1. 'Can't rotate'

When I draw traditionally, I always love to rotate my paper, but when I am working on digital, I must click rotate then draw it using pentablet straightly. It feels kinda off and weird, like my pentablet is straight but the screen is being rotated, sometimes it confuses and frustates me xD If I rotate the pentablet not from application it will mess up xD. So if you are type person is not flexible, it is kinda hard to get used to. It is even harder for people who can only focus things they draw on paper. I can draw without looking the pentablet, but there's a person who can't, they can't focus on the screen but keep looking for the pentablet (the hand movement+result they want to see, like traditional art). So.. my advice for person who can 'split the concentration' you better not to buy pentablet, better used something like tablet / ipad / cintiq / something similar, because you are the type who must see what you do. If you aren't interested in digital you can stay to draw traditionally. My second advice, if you are unsure if you can split your concentration or not, you try to ask your friend who has pentablet, if you can try it, can you draw using pentablet but your focus on the screen? if yes, you can buy pentab if you are interested to draw digitally, if no, you should change to tablet/ipad/cintiq/ or something similar. -- I will reply the notification soon~

The traditional way of doing art by brush and paper is really a more non complex approach in the realm of art making the cons though is that it would be really hard to disseminate it on digital platform since everything is now been made through a computer that being said, people need to scan their artworks in order to get it online however, the pros on digital art is that you are able to upload and disseminate your work instantly without compromising it's quality. But yeah, it can be really tricky for those who aren't used to computer or tech stuffs. Thanks for sharing.

I'm agree with you, thank you for sharing too. With digital it is kinda one in all, but traditional is expensiveee you need to buy every single supplies xD Meanwhile digital, you need only a brush and modified it, well some of brush isn't free, but if you can make yourself it is free~
