I remember wanting to paint traditionally when I was young, hating traditional mediums when I discovered Photoshop, and coming full circle after taking a painting class in college and wanting to learn traditional again. It's amazing how different it feels to get the paint to the right consistency and brushing it on a canvas than simply drawing on a smooth tablet. I actually feel my creativity comes more naturally with the tablet, but I truly love both methods of working. Each have their own challenges, perks, and magic. I hope they never lose that magic and, as long as I keep playing, learning, and experimenting, I don't think they ever will.
