It's been asked by readers what I use to make my new pieces. Largely, though not exclusively, digital painting software. It's what I know best.
I still have great respect for those who prefer analog tools, some of my favorite artists are heavy traditionalists.
With that said, I don't think there should be a war in the art world over either tools, art (and the tools we use to make it) are constantly evolving.
My focus, as I hope other artists focus would be as well, is to make the world better through creativity, whatever tools one chooses to employ towards that goal.

What do you think of Night Cafe, have you used that one?
I have and it was my first time creating anything digital, though I am not too pleased with much.
You just enter the text and it creates so no 'knowledge' for me.
I am not a graphic artist but did want to be years ago.

I've known several people who use it, and they like it. I've been impressed with some of the results I've seen. @RebeccasFarm.
I've never used that particular program.
Sometimes what I like to do is paint something, and then feed it into similar programs and let it enhance the pieces. I just view it as another tool, though some people rail against it with psychotic fury.

@jnrdutton Oh I know..it is insanity some people going off about it.
Yeah thanks I am glad you knew it.
I figure it can all go hand in hand, why not use what is available to us to enhance the tradition..no harm.

@AmbiePam, I am glad she has that curiosity and it's a wonderful thing to be encouraged. There are so many ways to do and experience art these days it amazes me.

@Dena91, I agree, and I think the bickering some do about it is wasting time that's better spent creating.
